ZPublisher.Client is perfect to build python apps which interact with a Zope
server. Naturally, ZPublisher.Client uses Zope security infrastructure.

If you need _direct_ _interactive_ access to a Zope server, you can use the
Medusa monitor service to connect to your ZServer and access it like a
python interpreter. I don't know if you can restrict the access to the
Medusa monitor, IIRC it asks you for your superuser password by default.
