My apologies if this is a FAQ, but is there an easy way to automate the installation of the zexp files?
Every time we rev our in-house zope modules, we have to do the following:
o import the zexp files o install/reload the external methods for each module o install a SiteRoot for each module (because we are using an apache proxy)
That's a lot of mouse clicks, and prone to human error. How can I automate the above operations via a shell/python script? Many thanks in advance for any pointers. Have a look at "ZPublisher.Client". With it, you can automate HTTP requests.
You can also look in "comp.lang.python.announce". Several month ago, a HTTP automation framework has been announced there. Unfortunately, I forgot its name. Dieter
