Hi everyone. When calling my ZClass_add method I want to call an external python method. Is there any way to let the method return immediately so that the script is running in the background?

Yes, spawn a new thread. WARNING this can cause havoc if not done properly. For example, if you want your seperate thread to be able to read and write data to the database, you MUST open a seperate connection to the DB. If your thread goes away, you MUST close that connection. There are a couple how-tos on the site that explain database connections. -Michel
