This has come up before on the Paste mailing list.  I think the answer
is to either:

* Keep your script stuff completely orthogonal to your Pylons stuff.

* Write your script stuff as a Pylons controller that requires special
permission (done however you want) and call it as a Web page using
either Paste fixture or wget.

Sorry, that's the best I have off the top of my head.
