You might consider using Xron to schedule the async process for "now" (_.DateTime()). I won't claim this is the best solution for your app, but at least all the threading is already done for you and the scheduled method is "all Zope". -- Loren

Hi all,
I am now trying to create an ExternalMethod that executes a long process (about 30 seconds) in a new thread and then this thread sends the result per e-mail. The ExternalMethod must return inmediatly. I need this behavior in order to not block the user while browsing.
Are there anybody that can help me?
