Sorry, I do not like to work around those ZEXP stuff which is inferior to
the Products shipped as Python files in the Zope Products directory and has
technical drawbacks as I mentioned several times in private. (In fact - my
mail was intended to be private because this is highly off topic here and
I would like to continue in private.)

I tried several times and came to the conclusion after considering several
Zope experts that this is insecure and unreliable.
