[Zope] ZWeather?

[Tim Wilson]

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking that it would be cool to have current weather
conditions displayed on our science dept. home page. Getting the current
conditions involves requesting them from weather.noaa.gov according to a
code that refers to your location. There is already a little Python
program that does this via email: 

http://freshmeat.net/appindex/1999/06/29/930711471.html

Unfortunately, I'm a Zope newbie and not sure how to approach this.
Obviously (at least it seems to me), you don't want Zope sending out a
fresh request every time your page is updated. Is it possible for Zope to
cache the results of the lookup for some period of time?

Does this seem like a reasonable thing to accomplish via Zope?

-Tim
