[Zope] Write log file from script

[Dennis Allison]

Depends upon what you want to do and how much access  you have.  For 
debugging purposes I often use an external procedure

def debugWindow( data ):
   fd = open('/tmp/debugWindow",'a')
   fd.write( str(data))
   fd.close()

and look at the output with 

   tail -f /tmp/debugWindow

Or, you can use the same approach to write to syslog using the Python 
logging module

Or you can piggyback into the Zope logging mechanism--see the sources for 
that exercise.

I find the external procedure approach to be useful in its simplicity
