[Zope] Security?

[Goldthwaite, Joe]

Good point!  I guess because I got the Zope login, I figured it was a
security setting and went down that path.  I went to the WebSite/lib
directory and fired up the Python interpreter and typed "import mx.ODBC" and
got the import error "No module named mx.ODBC".  I guess this is one of the
problems of trying to debug using Visual Studio and Active Python and then
run under Zope which uses Python 2.1.3.

Now that you mention it, the version of mx.ODBC I have installed is for
Python 2.3.  I'll download and install the 2.1 version.

I don't think Zope is your issue here.  If you can't import in an
external method, *nothing* you can do in Zope is likely to fix the
problem

If you can get a shell on this machine, fire up the correct version of
Python and try this import manually.  You may have a permissions problem
or some other issue with how the module is installed.  It's also
possible you may be importing the module incorrectly.

Once you've figured out *that* problem, an external method should work
fine or you may wish to code up this functionality as a Product.

HTH,
