[Zope] triggering Python socket code from Zope

[Bill Seitz]

I'm going to need to pass some status messages to a business partner 
over UDP.

I've already written that Python code.

At the moment it's intended to be called from various batch scripts.

But the partner also wants one particular message to be triggered from a 
process that happens via web form.

Am I going to have to turn the underlying code into a Product? Or is a 
Python Script going to be sufficient? Are there sandbox issues? (The 
code does some file reading and writing, uses struct.pack(),  uses 
string.strip(), time.time()...)
