Darran - take a look at

<Zope root>/lib/python/ZPublisher/Client.py

as an example of connecting to a running Zope system from a command line. This should allow you to at least automate that last step.

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.
