[Zope] ZShell

> Is it available somewhere ?

Its thrown up on http://www.zope.org/Members/andym/ZShellCLI. Please note it
may not work and needs some hacking, a custom version of zshell, plus
xmlrpclib access. Works for me and the best commands to play with? ls and cd
work great!

Yeah.

I'd like to help, but I have so many other projects to work on, I cant
promise much...

Well yeah I got cd working, but you can see the hoops to jump through. Since
you pass the folder through as a hidden form, meaning I would have to parse
the html each time to get that value. Hence my hacked version of zshell,
that returns a dict of value, and path.

I think you'll see the problems with using the current style of only
exposing one method when you look at the code...

Aha! Yep use get_stdout(), but it doesnt always work. Get lots of %s. :)

Anyway ls and cd work great!
