<dtml-call somescriptmethod>


In Extensions folder make python program like this:

import os
def somescriptmethod:
    return os.system('path/to/your/script')

Include this as external Method from management interface.

Note: it is absolutely no good Idea (especially If you are new
to python) to make the program name a parameter.
