Thank you for your reply. I have just found your book, it looks very good and I will look at sub processes examples.
What I am trying to do is that I want to create a python module within itools http://www.ikaaro.org/itools CMS that creates an object based on a form input that has a post method in the zope application. I can do this using this method, but I was wondering if I can by-pass this and execute it from within the itools module. The zope application basically creates trial shops, from BizarSoftware as per this scrip http://www.bizarsoftware.com.au/resource_centre/create_trial_shop.py I want to replace the <form action="create_trial_shop" method="post"> to be executed from within the python2.5 I have something like: def create(self, user): root = self.get_root() users = root.get_handler('users') firstname = user.get_property('ikaaro:firstname') lastname = user.get_property('ikaaro:lastname') email = user.get_property('ikaaro:email') # Create the user if user is None: email = context.get_form_value('ikaaro:email') firstname = context.get_form_value('ikaaro:firstname') lastname = context.get_form_value('ikaaro:lastname') users = root.get_handler('users') user = users.set_user(email) user.set_property('ikaaro:firstname', firstname) user.set_property('ikaaro:lastname', lastname) key = generate_password(30) user.set_property('ikaaro:user_must_confirm', key) user_id = user.name .... once the user has come to this point, I would like to push the firstname, lastname and email to the http://www.bizarsoftware.com.au/resource_centre/create_trial_shop.py script which runs on python2.4 and I am not sure how to deal with it within my create class.
