[Zope] populate CMFCollector with a python script remotely

Hi, I have zope 1.6.1+plone 1.04+ CMFCollector running on a linux box. Now I would like to write have a python script on my other Win2K PC, which parses a issue database (could be csv,ascii excel..) and add automatically new items to the collector. The reason: I have an old excel file with bugs, and I would like to transfer them to the collector. Did somebody already a similar thing? .. otherwise any idea?? Thanks,
