The Transaction mechanism registers a global method get_transaction. In
regular python you could do something like:
get_transaction().commit()
to commit the trnasaction.

However I am not sure how this would interfere with Zope's automatic
transaction management. I think you should need at least an immediate:
get_transaction().begin()
after the commit as Zope will automatically commit again at the end of the
request.
