[Zope] Newbie Q: how to use a "standard" CGI from Zope?

[Jonothan Farr]

Probably the easiest way to do this is to just write an External Method that
sets up your environment in a Python dictionary and the executes your CGI in
that environment using os.execv() and friends. There isn't much reason to run a
CGI through Zope, though. Probably a better solution would be to run Zope behind
Apache instead of ZServer and just have Apache handle the CGI stuff.

Hope this helps,
