Jerome Alet <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: ZShellScripts
System name: zshscripts
Type: non-GNU
Description:
ZShellScripts will give to the Zope application server the possibility to use
scripts of any kind. This is the overgeneralisation of the ZShell concept I
authored in 2001-2002.
Two types of objects will be created : Scripts and Shells.
Scripts will be able to contain a script in any language, provided that the first line is similar to GNU/Linux shell scripts\' one:
#! /path/to/shell
Shells will be able to execute Scripts. Each Script will call its corresponding
Shell depending on its first line\'s content, passing
it pseudo stdin, stdout and stderr files.
I plan to provide three sample Shells : ShellZope, which will work similarly to
the existing ZShell (http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/), ShellPython,
which will support the existing PythonScripts and ShellSh, which will launch
real GNU/Linux (or other OS) shell commands.
The goal is to encourage people to write their own Shells, since the Scripts
class will work with any scripting language. This will allow Zope to support
more languages than just Python.
It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it, and I\'ve got some preliminary
code which desesperately need a CVS home...
Other Software Required:
Zope
