1. in $ZOPEDIR/lib/python/Products/ created
GlobalModules

2. created __init__.py with
allow_modules('mx.DateTime')

3. restarted zope

4. created python script:
   from mx.DateTime import mxDateTime
   eod=mxDateTime.now()
   print eod
   return printed

5. Called script.
   Error: You are not allowed to access now in this
context. 

I've tried a wide range of variations on the
allow_modules argument
: 'mx', 'mx.DateTime', 'mx.DateTime.mxDateTime'
including combinations of the above, with restarts and
enough deliberate errors to know that the __init__.py
script is being read.

I must be overlooking something obvious.

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks,

rob
