No, I'm a Python newbie who doesn't know of threads yet, so this is just
Zope threads working their magic. :-)

Right now I'm just shooting for a simple network client as a proof of
concept, though ultimately I need to take into account that the server
this client is talking to is *cough* single instance and single threaded
(i.e. only one client at a time).  So what I really need to do for the
long haul is set my client software up to hold a persistent connection
and multiplex/queue the requests.  I assume that means I'll need to
rewrite my External Method interface as a Zope Product?

Maybe I should try to grok one of the database connection products and
model after that?


The server is Rand McNally's Unix Resident MileMaker (URMM) milage
calculation software for shipping, if you were wondering (what to avoid?)

Thanks,
	Charlie
