I remember, I read this in some "External Method" related documentation.

You do *NOT* place such modules inside the folder "Extensions"
but put them somewhere else reachable by "PYTHONPATH".

The documentation suggests that you create a subpackage inside
"Shared", say "myCompanyExtensions", and place there
your module (don't forget "__init__.py" in the subfolder
representing the subpackage), say "myModule".

Then, in your external method, you would use:

from Shared.myCompanyExtensions import myModule

[Zope] external method import error (ImportError)...

2000-10-04 Thread Eric 

Hi,

To summarize: How do I import modules in an External Method's .py file?

I have an external method that points to a .py file that has an import
statement at the top.  The import statement loads another module of mine
(CProject.py).  I've placed both files (pwToxml.py and CProject.py) in the
Zope/Extensions directory.  When I try to create an external method on the
pTox.py file with the following parameters:
ID = pTox
Function Name = pTox
Python Module File = pwToxml
I get the following error:
Error Type: ImportError
Error Value: No module named CProject
Traceback (innermost last):
  File /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in

  File /usr/local/Zope/Extensions/pwToxml.py, line 1, in ?
ImportError: (see above)

I checked the sys.path for my Python installation and placed the CProject.py
file there, but I still get the same error.

Here's the top of my pwToxml.py file:

import CProject, string

def pTox(self, REQUEST):
"""Function to map pw to CProject Objects"""
P=CProject.CProject()
dictData = REQUEST.form.items()
strTemp = ""
strError = "Error Retrieving Dictionary Value"
...etc...

Thanks for any help you can provide.
