I hadn't seen this before. Neat project. Looks like he's created a new asyncore server which cooks up and inserts request SMTPRequest objects in the ZServer request queue. > > What I really want to be able to do from the server code is something like:: > > > > root = magic_that_gets_me_zodb_root() > > That magic is basically (from memory): > > import Zope > Zope.startup() > root = Zope.app() > > But note that starting up a zope is slow, so you don't want to do that > very often. Well, in this case zope is already running. I think you should use the existing publisher machinery. Given an SMTPRequest instance foo, you should be able to do foo.traverse(path, response) and get back an object.
