[ZPT] Reading a file

Ok, this is slightly off topic. I'm doing a prototype of an
application, and as part of this I want to read data from a
"database" - right now an xml file. Obviously in a real application I
would use MySQL or something, but for right now I just want to use
this xml file. So, I have created a file object in a zope folder, and
I filled it with some xml data. I want to read the data from this file
in a python script and return it to be processed by a zpt. In a
regular (non-Zope) python app, I would do this:
f = open("myfile.xml")
for line in f.readlines():
print line # or whatever
This won't work in Zope. So, what is the proper way to do this?
Thanks,
Larry
