For that you might try some alternate approaches:
- create a command-line wrapper for the API; in zope you can then
use python's subprocess module to run the perl program that will
make the API calls (I am successfully using this for a certain
Java API)
- create a non-zope server to host the perl portion and use
XML-RPC or SOAP or whatever to communicate to that from your
zope app
- port the perl code to python (after all you have the source)
