Hi Bruno. Many thanks you for your reply. Yes, I have been looking at this more. With the help of Ron a few days back I am going to try a signaling process working with a daemon that uses a queue. So I am hoping for user to get response so zope thread is freed up, an asynchronous python method / daemon gets signal to run if not already running, job gets added to queue and jobs run queue is empty (then daemon goes to sleep).

Hi. This discussion has really helped me with my question about running asynchronous methods also since these kinds of requests could be cronned at the very least. But what about triggering this kind of script from the running zope instance. Is this possible?
Two solutions a priori: - call an external method that launch a thread that do the job - fork and launch the script as a new process with os.execXXX
You'll find documentations about threads and os.execXX in the Python's manual. Now there can be Zope-specific gotchas, but there I can't help you.
