There are a couple of ways to approach this, depending on your  
needs.  I'm assuming that Zope needs to be serving to other users at  
the same time, in a more typical client-server role.

One approach is to run Zope 3 with ZEO, and write a script that  
connects to the database via ZEO and modifies the database as you  
need.  This bypasses security, and requires that the script have  
access to the (sensitive) ZEO port of your Zope.

Another approach would be to have a view--XML-RPC, maybe.  Have the  
script make a request with authentication and the necessary  
information to create your object, then have your view do the work.

If I'm not guessing your needs correctly, you'll need to specify a  
bit more.
