[Zope] Automatically import a zexp

[Tille, Andreas]

Hello,

as a Debian maintainer I wonder if there is any clean method to import
zexp products by a script (not using the import method from a browser).
The idea is that installing Python products is simple by copying the
python code to the right place and restart zope.  Works fine in the
Debian postinst script.
But what to do with zexp products.  I tried a very dirty hack like



ZOPEUSER="<place the name of Zope administrator here>"
PASSWD="<and his password>"
## For sure this is insecure.
## You should find a secure way using debconf to maintain this!!!!

IMPORT=<product-name>.zexp

LC_ALL=en_EN

HOST=localhost
PORT=9673

wget --proxy=off --http-user=${ZOPEUSER} --http-pass=${PASSWD} \
    http://${HOST}:${PORT}/Control_Panel/Products/${prod}/manage_importObject?file=${IMPORT}


but I think I really do not have to tell you that this can not be the
recommended way to go.

Any other idea?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
