Have a look at the ZSQL methods code, I remember this being pretty old

Ok, thanks! I take a look.
Well, i am running zope under root privileges in "read-only" mode.
What does this mean?
I am opening the ZODB in read-only, using the appropriate parameter in
the conf file.
What are you seeking to do or prevent?
I want a number of external methods to run with "root" privileges for
performing specific tasks (older thread, "root privileges required",
27/7/2004)
If there is a Zope break-in,
What does that mean?
I think of it as a break-in in the ZMI.
i want to minimize interference with the database.
Which database?
I use a MySQL database for storing some info.
Also, since this will be a commercial product, keeping most of the
code in compiled python scripts is meaningful.
As Jens already explained, .pyc's and pyo's can be decompiled in a
matter of minutes, so you're getting nothing for this worry other than
finding debugging a pain ;-)
Yes, i fully understand the disadvantages, but i have dealt with the
debugging with some custom exception handling/tracing. And, believe me,
i don't have illusions about the secrecy offered by compiled python
scripts. :-)
