ZEO is the canonical way to distribute zope stuff.

If you do that, you're getting into the world of RPC and
service-oriented development.  There are a zillion ways to do that in
zope...  urllib/urllib2 as suggested, or you can use the callRemote()
features of a sufficiently recent ZSyncer (see the README), or use
zope's built-in XMLRPC server and on the client side use python's
xmlrpclib.  The latter two options are nice because they give you native
python objects on both ends of the wire.

Pretty much all of these will require you to write some "trusted" code,
i.e. on the filesystem (in a Product or External Method).
