[Zope] pass zope form variables to a htaccess file

[Laura McCord]

Yeah, or maybe its possible to create another python script that creates
a new file using the directory path from the extfile and places a
.htaccess file in that directory and then writes to the .htaccess file. 

I created a username field in the form so I could pass the value to the
python script to be written in the .htaccess file.  Then, in the
extfile.py the directory path is define and I can possibly use this
value too. Then the rest of the content should be relatively static.

Maybe, when the form is submitted the python script can be called. 

What do you think?

Maybe it is, if you treat the .htaccess as its own ExtFile.

I'd have your extfile creation form submit to a script that 
adds two ExtFiles, one for the "main" file and one for the .htaccess.

but then, you probably don't want the .htaccess to be visible in zope as
a normal ExtFile... I don't know what you can do about that.  Maybe
create a new Product that subclasses ExtFile and manages the .htaccess
files behind the scenes.
