Can I bypass the management GUI and just use python scripts to make changes to my Zope Object Database? For example, I'd like to traverse my entire database correctly setting the height and width properties of all images. I'll give myself RSI doing this via the GUI. The other option that I can see is to write an external method, put this in the root folder, and call it through the management interface. The last step seems gratuitous and I'm left feeling that there must be a simpler solution.
Calling it seems gratuitous? If you wrote a script that changed your filesystem, at some point you'd have to call it to do the actual changing. Think of calling an ext method from the management screen 'running' a script. Zope is entirely event based, a request has to happen for any code to run. -Michel
Cheers, Darran.
