[Zope] Oedipus / Zope / python / product / XML ++

[Jørgen Skogstad]

Hi there .. 

I've been looking into something this weekend. I need somehting
that can handle my link database etc. and list them through Zope
on a regular basis.

I was looking at Oedipus which can create "semi-xml" DMOZ like
directories which would suffice for v0.1b of my product. I was
thinking of using Oedipus and store them in the database there
and generate a new xml-like-structure every day through some
cron script.

.. what I was hoping for is to use the LocalFS product for Zope
and some kind of python "product" (which I need to make to fit
into Zope) which can parse this .. sort of like the *.cgi 
script which followed with the Oedipus installation.

By doing this; I can generate DMOZ/Link databases that show 
information about the site; when it was checked last, updated
etc. etc.

My questions are as follows;
* How do I generate a package of some pythong scripts?
* Are there any better ways of parsing and putting this 
  xml-like file under "Zope control" .. 

* Are there any XML products for Zope that can get a file
  from an url .. and parse this with some python scripts to
  generate a yahoo type listing?

Would apriciate any input!
