[Zope] Finding a phone number in a python script

[Schmidt, Allen J.]

I did wind up doing an ex meth. Only about 5 lines and it works well.

What really are the risks if it will only be maybe two or three guys who
will actually be using RE in py scripts? If there were many developers then
I might see the issue. But if you know who is doing stuff on your server,
where is the risk?

Thanks for the info.

Faced with similar problems, I enabled regular expression search in 
Python Scripts (see the README in the product for instructions). 
IMHO a risks/reward analysis for the re module easily justifies its
inclusion.
