Why not use something like SWIG (I don't know much about it, just a general idea on what it does), to link the interpreter to python, and then make a Zope extension like <dtml-perl xxx> to call it? Then you could probably get the perl/PHP scripts into the ZODB, and therefore get cached, making it even faster.. --John Sutherland

Actuatly, there may be one other quicker method to do this. You can somehow (i haven't tried this) compile php into a stand alown executable. Then you could then have an external method do a shell call running the php script. Another interesting thing you could do would be to make a zope product that stored php3 code, and then called out to php to parse it. This might not be a bad way to allow clients to have their own maintainable php3 scripts up on the web without giving them ftp or shell access. hmm..
Or even better, a generalized version - so you could serve perl and php and python cgi scripts transparently from zope. That's be pretty cool actually - migrating our old sites from php to Zope would be trivial.
Of course, it'd be much slower than having PHP3 compiled in to Apache.
