Not really. If you can expland on what you'd like to accomplish by doing this, maybe I can help a little better.
What I want to do is take the confirmation email that PayPal sends and automatically respond to it by emailing the product to the customer (trying to do "the simplest thing that could possibly work" here). Another alternative is of course to do it completely outside of Zope, and drive the script with cron. That might be easiest if (1) I knew how to "read" mail to a particular address inside of Python (it looks like the 'mailbox' module does this, but it only reads from one mailbox. Thus, to work, it would seem that address must be sent to a particular mailbox, which I would guess is possible but requires sendmail(?) configuration). (2) I could figure out how to send attachments with Python-generated mail. I know there are libraries, but any docs on this seem to go on and on, and have all kinds of options and alternatives -- it's so simple in Zope. But in python, it appears I would use MimeWriter. I've found two examples of this, both of which write to sys.stdout, which is confusing -- how do you actually email such a thing?
