[Zope-dev] Import Libraries into Python Script

[Brian Lloyd]

This needs to be documented (and made a little easier), but 
heres a quick primer:


  o Create a new directory in your 'Products' directory 
    (called ModuleAssertions or something like that - the 
    name is unimportant).

  o Create an '__init__.py' file in the new directory.

  o Add module assertions like the example below to __init__.py:

# Site-wide module security assertions

from AccessControl.SecurityInfo import ModuleSecurityInfo
import string

def allow_module(module_name):
    module  = __import__(module_name)
    sec_info=ModuleSecurityInfo(module)
    sec_info.setDefaultAccess(1)
    sec_info.apply(module.__dict__)
    for part in string.split(module_name, '.')[1:]:
        module=getattr(module, part)
        sec_info=ModuleSecurityInfo(module)
        sec_info.setDefaultAccess(1)
        sec_info.apply(module.__dict__)


# Allow access to base64 module
allow_module('base64')

# Allow access to imaplib
allow_module('imaplib')


  o Restart Zope
