I think this is the simplest way to do that: import sys sys.path.append('/path/to/directory/containg/script')
import zopescript zopescript.main() The code above assumes: o that the path you use to append contains an __init__.py in it... o zopescript is the module you want to `run' o main is the method in zopescript that cranks up zope. I'm not sure of how to do it the hard way... jw On 10/13/05, Christian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From a not even newbie: > > Without knowing much about Python (yet) I'm trying to install the CMS > Zope via FTP (with the well documented changes to make it work on an > Apache server). > By birth Zope is started from a shell script.
