[Zope] Re: Accessing zope through command-line python

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

Yep. Magic.  Sets a global security manager on the thread running the Zope
app instance we are using.  Each thread has a single security manager bound
to it at any given point in time.  When Zope serves up requests via ZServer,
for example, it sets this for that thread every time an HTTP request hits
the server: in the web-serving context each hit has a default security
manager (or the last instantiated security manager?) set up for it until it
is changed to respond to a request.  We do the same, but since we are using
a single thread without giving it up, we can do this once at the top of the
script, and then run stuff requiring a security context which is usually TTW
code, but can be some CMF stuff that also assumes a security context.

One question:

How's that work?  you don't use any return value, and you
make no further reference to zopeuser... 
that's what I dislike about Zope, there's too much code that
reads like magical hand-waving :(

it's a great recipe, thanks!
