Your options:

 * check in "script" that is was not called directly via the Web.
   You can do this by checking against "REQUEST['PUBLISHED']".

 * give your "script" a non-"None" "index_html" attribute
   Then, this "index_html" is called when accessed from the Web;
   otherwise, the "script"s "__call__" is called.

 * give your "script" and its "__call__" method an empty docstring.

Oops, right you are. Templates don't have proxy roles.

One obvious workaround: Add a dtml method that consists only of
.  Make this dtml method anonymously viewable, and give
it a proxy role of Authenticated.

Then make your real template, and the script it calls, both viewable
only by Authenticated.

Thanks for the response Paul. I don't see a Proxy tab on Page Templates
though, only DTML methods: do I need to install an additional product for
that? or is it configured somewhere else for Templates?
