So you are writing a Product to enable it to python scripting? .-))

Well, its so easy... some of the beginners should be able to do it.

from AccessControl import allow_module, allow_class, allow_type

from formatter import BlockFormatter
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase
from email.Header import Header
from MailCrypt import signmail
from email.Encoders import encode_base64

allow_class(BlockFormatter)
allow_class(MIMEBase)
allow_class(MIMEText)
allow_class(MIMEMultipart)
allow_class(Header)
allow_class(signmail)
allow_class(encode_base64)


would roughly do it.
Pack it nicely, add some ZMI howtos
and be ready :-)
