..and what of Scripts (Python) Do they inherit Zope permissions model.?

Security should be addressed.
I suppose one could extend 'Exernal Methods' to create a 'External Zshell
Methods'

But Jerome please don't let this slow you down writing Zshell functions now.
Let's just agree that Zshell is a really powerful Essential Zope tool. An
important concept which definitely needs developing. And it assumes greater
responsibility than the default TTW interface, and wears a large sysadmin
warning label!

I have been using ZJavatelnetSSH Product quite often recently for sheer
convenvince of remote Zope sysadmin.

Webmin is another tool..

How safe  | how dangerous??
I really don't see the difference.
What am I missing?
