Dear Joh,
thank you v e r y much for your help. Zope happily swallowed the code you suggested without complaining. We seem to get along a lot better now :)
Originally I wanted to use the textfile as a zope Object because I can't access the filesystem on the server (yep, it's http://freezope.nipltd.net). Of course it was no problem to parse the data locally and import the results to the zope instance on the server.
Just out of curiosity --> even though my problem was solved I wonder how this task would be accomplished when the textfile is a zope object.
Good question. I would like to know that also. At the moment, I'm having a hard time understanding how to deal with zope objects from python code. I'd use zope objects alot more if I did understand this. Reading a textfile that is a zope object sounds like a good start. Anyone know how to do that? For me, that's the hardest thing about dealing with zope. For a while, it seems like you are doing the impossible very easily, then something very easy comes along, and it seems impossible.
