[Zope] Automatically import a zexp

You could simply use something like what load_site is doing, namely:

    import ZPublisher.Client
    ob=ZPublisher.Client.Object(url, username=user, password=password)
    ob.manage_somethingOrOther(id=name, file=open(fname, 'rb'))

Or even, without starting Zope:

    import Zope
    root = Zope.app()
    ob = root.path.to.your.object
    ob.manage_blabla
    get_transaction().commit()

All untested of course :-)
