If your use case requires 'snapshots' of the data at various times, then you 
have some options for saving the results:

1- use an external method to write the results to the filesystem
2- use EXTFILE
3- save the results in a DTML Document
4- save the results in a property field on a folder
5- build your own Product

(don't you just love Zope... more ways to solve a problem than anyone could 
hope for!)

If, as was already mentioned, you don't need to retain snapshots of the 
data, then just call your script/template to build/display the results as 
and when they are required.
