Wow, that's a novel idea.  Using some kind of RMI or RPC you could
achieve what you're looking for in perhaps less that 100 lines of Python
or Java.  However, it would require significant expertise in Python,
Java, and Zope, which is a rare combination.

Or perhaps you could try XML-RPC.  It's easy to use and language
independent.
