Well, if you look into the zope API documentation
you find all modules you can use in untrusted
(e.g. thru the web) code. re isnt part of the
exposed API. You either write an external method
or a product or you enable modules you think you
can trust to zope scripting. This can be done
by copying Products/PythonScripts/module_access_example.py (or similar)
to yourProductfolder/Yourproduct/__init__.py
and edit it accordingly. Restart zope
and use the modules you want. Make sure you enable
only modules you really can trust.
