Probably the easiest way to do this is to just write an External Method that sets up your environment in a Python dictionary and the executes your CGI in that environment using os.execv() and friends. There isn't much reason to run a CGI through Zope, though. Probably a better solution would be to run Zope behind Apache instead of ZServer and just have Apache handle the CGI stuff.

Hi All,
I have some CGIs written in C and Fortran, compiled to EXEs and currently running on Apache (without Zope), and tested on IIS (without Zope) as well.
How can I integrate these into Zope ZServer setup with a minimum of rewriting? I have access to the source code, but would like to change it as little as possible (re-invention of wheels, and all that).
I had a look at the Zope docs on External Methods and the Python docs on extending Python using C, but this didn't seem to click -- am I on the right track?
Thanks very much,
Arian
