[Zope] triggering Python socket code from Zope

I'm going to need to pass some status messages to a business partner over UDP. I've already written that Python code. At the moment it's intended to be called from various batch scripts. But the partner also wants one particular message to be triggered from a process that happens via web form. Am I going to have to turn the underlying code into a Product? Or is a Python Script going to be sufficient? Are there sandbox issues? (The code does some file reading and writing, uses struct.pack(), uses string.strip(), time.time()...)
