[Zope] Connecting to Zope with a Thick Client

[Etienne Labuschagne]

Thanks for all the replies.  Paul, is you say create a server in Twisted, 
do you mean a server in the same sense as ZServer?  Luckily coding just 
about anything in Python is fun, so the extending of ZServer seems like a 
viable option.  Wouldn't this be better anyway, or do you think it would be 
much more work than creating a server in Twisted?

I'll have a look at ZServer's XML-RPC implementation, maybe I can get some 
tips there on adding another protocol.

Thanks
Etienne
