[Zope-dev] [Fwd: [Zope] External method writing to a log]

In zope@zope.org, I asked this and I'm now asking in zope-dev:

I want to create an external method to append to a log file (for almost every access to the Zope site).

Obviously opening and closing files this often is going to get a bit silly.

Is there a way to keep a file open for the whole time that the Zope server is running? Or do I need to create some completely separate OS-level process that handles the file, and just gets called by the external method?
