[Zope] Re: importing pdflib_py

OK, so we don't need to make a custom Product or anything like that 
to use an external library in a Script. It's just a simple (!) 
matter of semantics.

BAD:
from pdflib_py import *

GOOD:
import pdflib_py
      or
from pdflib_py import PDF_new, PDF_open_file, PDF_get_errmsg, [...]

I guess the security machinery just wants to be sure that you know 
exactly what you're importing. Maybe they're trying to prevent name 
conflicts or something? Or maybe the external library won't give up 
its list of methods.

Whatever. I'm back to work after my little visit to Oz.
