The primary wisdom is to look at the traceback :-)

It tells you that the problem is in line 2 of your Python Script "test".

I expect that your are not allowed to import the module "PythonScript".

I agree however that this error message gives you little chance to see this.

Please file a bug report to <http://collector.zope.org/Zope>.


The standard method to create a PythonScript (in an ObjectManager "om")
is:

	om.manage_addProduct['PythonScripts'].manage_addPythonScript(id)
	myPythonScript= getattr(om,id)

You can later use the PythonScript method "ZPythonScript_edit"
to set parameters and body of the script.
