I have a python script that I run that checks the status of lpc=20
printers on remote solaris boxes using python's telnetlib.
I'm trying to get this to run under zope... and I'm getting the nasty=20
authorization message that is supposed to happen. =20
Can I get to this library from within Zope? I tried to add telnetlib=20
as an external method... but to no avail. It's looking for an=20
argument such as (Oh heck, I'm not in front of it right now).  I was=20
hoping I could.
a) Get this to work / work around the problem. (I've tried an external =
method, but the class TELNET
doesn't have an "func_default" attrib (I'm lost).

or=20
b) Just use an html page with the python script. (exec problem???)

Do I have access to the "wealth" of python libraries from within Zope=20
that I'm coming to know and love ? or not :<( ?

Thanx in advance for anyone's help.=20
