You can run any application in this way. (in Wndows os.system("start this_program.exe") ).
Ouch. Look at os.popen(). It opens a pipe to a given command, which acts just like a file. Read, write, and be happy.
In Zope 1.10.2, being single threaded, an external method has the potential to block the whole Zope server. Make sure that the external method returns its results fast enough.
Looks my best option is to run Zserver for Zope stuff, and another webserver for my php3, perl and .exe stuff. Presumably two web servers on different ports on the same PC can coexist peacefully. ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz
