Hi everyone,
I've been thinking that it would be cool to have current weather conditions displayed on our science dept. home page. Getting the current conditions involves requesting them from weather.noaa.gov according to a code that refers to your location. There is already a little Python program that does this via email:

Unfortunately, I'm a Zope newbie and not sure how to approach this. Obviously (at least it seems to me), you don't want Zope sending out a fresh request every time your page is updated. Is it possible for Zope to cache the results of the lookup for some period of time?
Does this seem like a reasonable thing to accomplish via Zope? Well, you could always do the update outside of ZOPE. Just create a ``static'' ZOPE page, and then update it via ZClient ;)
