A) Upload a file to the server
B)After the file is uploaded , I have write a python program to
encode the file
C)When the encoding is finish, user must download the file back to
his machine.
I'm very new to Zope and I choose it because I thought it should have
an easy and good communication with python. Since I have terminated
the python program that does what I want, I have no idea how to
accomplish the requests above.
A -> I know I will need external access to the file system, is there
a product that can help me in that ?
LocalFS and ExtFile are a couple of options.
I try to install LocalFS with no success ( Zope never include it in the
product list).
Using ExtFile I just could have access to my file systems, how can I use
it to upload a file from my website visitors pc ?
B -> my program works as I want like a python program , it will need
any modification so I can use it in Zope ?
Look into External Methods
Already reading , thank's.
C -> I think I will need also some kind of progress indicator so the
user can know when the encoding is done (some time takes more than a
minute)
This may help:

That's a solution but do you know something more GUI like a progress bar ?
. Any ideas how the user will download back the file? should the
download begin automatically after the encoding ?
If your external method commits the transaction, a new zope object
will be created. You could then do a response.redirect that causes
the user's browser to access the new object.
My python program change the original file, it doesn't create another
one after the encoding. Can I use the same Zope object or it doesn't
work that way ?
Cheers...
