Just a FYI, you could always create a 'page template' that contains the following: <span tal:repeat="item here/getstatistics"><span tal:replace="item/stat1">stat1 goes here</span>,</span> Then, just save the 'viewed' page template to a file.

You will need an External Method (--> "Zope Book"). There is a "csv.py" module around for Python (from 2.3 in the Python core library; up to then separate). It allows you to read and write CSV. Maybe, you should look at the Python tutorial (--> "www.python.org"). -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
