[Zope] Python script upon authentication

[Dylan Reinhardt]

The simplest approach is to make your users log in at a particular page and 
add a call to any housekeeping scripts there.  Might work for smaller sites 
or sites with https.

A more complicated approach would be to include a trigger in your standard 
header that can establish whether someone is newly authenticated and will 
call your housekeeping code if it detects a new login.  This is probably a 
more robust approach, as it will accommodate deep linking.

Another approach, of course, is to do housecleaning independently of user 
visits.  Deft usage of tools like cron and wget will allow you to schedule 
regular events for your server.

HTH,

Dylan
