[Zope] External Method Working Directory?

[David Hassalevris]

jwithers,

a) Is your os.getcwd() (in /Extensions) called from a Product (in 
/Products?)  Otherwise I have not idea

b) Regarding temporary files ..

 I've used stuff like ...

import tempfile
        tmpFile2 = tempfile.mktemp()

        theFile=open( tmpFile2,'rb')
        result = theFile.read()
        theFile.close()
        os.remove(tmpFile2)

I think this may depreciated but do a google on "python tempfile" and 
you can use the updated modules if they apply to your issue.
