XML-RPC might help you here, search the Zope site for xmlrpc. Also look at ZPublisher.Client Robert Leftwich

Hello:
I am looking to host an engineering application over the Internet.
I have investigated ZOPE and it seems to be the best solution for what I am trying to do ... but I have a question.
The application would place a large load on a server if it had to run local for each current user ... Is it possible to have the users download Python modules to specified directories on their machines and then have ZOPE call these Python modules, do some calculations locally, and then transfer information back and forth between the user (remote browser) and the server.
Could you point me in the correct direction for studying how to use Zope for a high load application server using the clients local computing power.
Eventually I could (my current understanding) migrate the system to a ZEO type solution but that would require a good cash flow.
Any advice you have in the matter would be appreciated:
