Anyone got any ideas on how to include output from external programs (in my case it will be Perl and PHP3) in a Zope document?

If I understand correctly you want to use http as a sorta-kinda RPC and insert the results in your document. Python's httplib gives you an http client. Try an external method something like this: <blatantly stolen from the Python library reference>

...

import httplib h = httplib.HTTP('www.cwi.nl') h.putrequest('GET', '/index.html') h.putheader('Accept', 'text/html') h.putheader('Accept', 'text/plain') h.endheaders() errcode, errmsg, headers = h.getreply() print errcode # Should be 200 f = h.getfile() data = f.read() # Get the raw HTML f.close()

</blatantly stolen from the Python library reference> Of course, you'll get all the http headers as well so you'll probably have to parse those out. --Rob
