Add a REQUEST argument to your function, defaulting to None. The
publisher will always pass the request in for that argument, while the
other templates / scripts should not. E.g.:
def doSomething(self, REQUEST=None):
""" Don't call me directly via a URL!!!
"""
if REQUEST is not None:
raise ValueError('Wicked, evil, naughty Zoot!')
Tres.
