I am working on a poll/survey type product and want to handle responses by email as well as the web. If you have any advice about the best architecture, I would appreciate it. I'm currently using Zope 2.5 on Linux, though it would be nice if the solution weren't too platform dependent.
My favorite solution is to run a short-lived ZEO client for each incoming email. You just set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to <zope>/lib/python (and INSTANCE_HOME if you need it), then in your Python script you "import Zope; app = Zope.app()". "app" now has unrestricted access to the whole database. When you're done, get_transaction().commit() and exit the process. From what I've seen, the ZEO connection setup overhead is usually less than one second.
