Hi Zopistas: I am wondering how I could write a python script that interacts with Zope from within another script (on a Linux box). I have a Perl script that ftp Zope through port 8021. No problem there; however, when I upload the new objects I would like to add properties at the same time that they are being uploaded (this will avoid my having to go TTW and do that manually afterwards, which is time consuming and not very efficient). To do that I think a python script could be run that adds new properties to Zope while I am adding each object (I think something simple like a function that takes 2 args would do, ie, the property name, and value); I would also want to add dtml methods programmatically if needed, but I am not so sure how to do that. I have no problems running programs from within Perl, but what I wonder is how I could write a python script that interacts with Zope from my console. Is that possible? Or is it a security issue? Any ideas will be appreciated. TIA, Regards, Jorge M. -- Jorge O.
