RE: [Zope] Processing form data.

3: I will also need to url encode my data. Can Zope handle that / is there a module for it somewhere?

Does the standard python module urllib do what you want? http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-urllib.html

4: Im scetching on a simple python module that implements some of the stuff found in CGI.pm Would that be useful to other Zopers or am I doing somthing already done better by others?

I don't quite understand this question. Zope *IS* a CGI "script". All of the CGI functionality is available. Most of it has higher-level support, so you don't usually need to do much at the primitive CGI level.
