[Zope] python-to-python in zope?

[tom smith]

hi all,

I've written a bot in python 2.0 and it's running on the same machine as
zope 2.2.

I'd like somehow to be able to send messages from zope (like...start and
stop or go trawl this site etc) to the OTHER version of python running my
bot....

I've tried using external methods but because the other version of python
has ODBC stuff and Tkinter etc python methods can't "talk" to my app. It
errors on import...

Should I try to add my bot to the python that comes included with zope (Is
it python 2.0?) or does anybody have any better ideas...

thanks
