[Zope] RE: [Plone-users] How can you make python library available in python script

Thanks lupa ... I found a previous mail about this and gave it a try but
still had the same 'access denied' security problem.

But sometimes you really do need something from a library in a python 
script.  Here's how, although it is not recommended to use this 
functionality with abandon.  Checkout the README.txt file in the python 
scripts area of your Zope installation (probably: 
python/Products/PythonScripts/README.txt).  Then add:

allow_module('urllib.unquote')

or whatever module of your interesting python library to your
__init__.py 
file and restart Zope.  THEN you can use it in a python script.

That's fine for you if you have trusted users ONLY on your system, but 
that's not good for a more general approach to life with Zope.   That's
why 
only a limited selection of modules are available in Python Scripts.
Not 
that there's a whole lot of dangerous security breaches that would be 
opened up by access to unquote...
