My 2 cents: PythonScripts are restricted and are *not* thought to be a full
replacement for Python modules. If you need this functionaltiy consider
writing a Zope Product, using external methods or using TrustedExecutables.
If python scripts are restricted from accessing zExceptions (for
security reasons???) then why allow python scripts to trap zExceptions
in bare try/excepts? If the logic for not allowing zExceptions in plain
vanilla python scripts is for security reasons, then allowing bare
try/excepts would seem to be a security hole (though, I don't see the
rationale for this).
I would imagine that not allowing these exceptions to be imported in
trusted code is simply an oversight. The mechanism involved is not a
"you may not import this" type of thing, but rather a "you may import
this" statement. It is easy to miss safe but rarely used pieces.
If you have a list of exceptions you would like to have available, go
and file a bug report. A patch would be even better.
