[Zope] how to programmatically control zope?

[David Pratt]

Hi. This discussion has really helped me with my question about running 
asynchronous methods also since these kinds of requests could be 
cronned at the very least.  But what about triggering this kind of 
script from the running zope instance.  Is this possible?

What I am hoping to accomplish is when a user uploads a file it 
triggers the long-running script - the one I want to inject into ZEO 
(and gives the user immediate feedback) so they are not waiting for the 
process to complete.  At the end of the long running process, I want to 
send them an email advising that the process was successful.

I am just setting up ZEO for first time today.  I am anxious to give 
something like this a try. Many thanks.

Regards,
David
