Most names in the Zope world are well chosen: the named objects do what their
name suggests.

In the example above, the name is "allow_module".
When you take the name seriously, your recognize that it applies to a module.
"os.popen" is a function (and not a module).
And, as you observe: it does not work...

Please take names seriously!
There are a few badly chosen names but in general, you can trust them...
