[Zope] Zope and Sage?

[Matt Carey]

does anyone have any experience of linking zope and sage (the 
accountancy software)?

first some background:

a potential new client has an existing website. they are a small book 
publisher, with about 100 books that they sell. their website has all 
these as individual static pages. they are looking to expand their line 
of books, and to add more value to the website. so i've recommended 
zope as it would be perfect for what they want to do. i'm proposing 
putting all their book details into a MySQL database, rather than 
having static pages.

all fine so far. now the client has come back to me and asked about 
purchasing online (the existing site has a system where you can send a 
'shopping list' to the publisher and they send you an invoice). they 
want to do purchasing online *but* they need it to connect with their 
copy of Sage. this is so a purchase can go directly into their Sage 
system and not be transfered across by hand etc.

i have no idea about Sage and the Sage website talks about its own 
solutions. anyone got any ideas/helpful hints?

cheers
