[Zope] change properties in external methods (was get properties ....)

[Ausum Studio]

You may want to try the ZSyncer product:
http://www.zope.org/Members/andym/ZSyncer

Anyhow, here you have some hints for your current purpose:
> myAction is 'manage_addPythonScript'

myAction should be 'manage_addProduct/PythonScripts/manage_addPythonScript'
. PythonScripts need to be created this way, when using an URL.

'value':propValue,'type':propType})

That should work fine, for string properties. Nonetheless, try to add the
type to the 'id' key: (untested)

params = urllib.urlencode({'id': '%s:%s' % (prop, propType),
'value':propValue,'type':propType})
