I also tried to use an external method, but am not able to do so. Zope hangs and I am not able to restart it without restarting the machine.
Sorry I missed this. You should assume you have a bug in your code that is hanging the machine. Test it thoroughly outside of Zope before attempting to use it. Zope can only be hanging because your code isn't returning (ISTM). Are you using an extension library for Python (i.e. could the hang be happening inside of a C library call?). External methods are well-tested and it's pretty arbitrary what you can execute -- I have run external programs via os.system() from them without incident (e.g. for image processing or generation).
