[Zope] Gadfly and Zope, sharing database files

Has anybody any experiences with using Gadfly to share a database
between several processes (or even inside a single process), such as
Zope and an external script?

I have a situation where I have a Python script running externally to
Zope that updates a Gadfly database; then I'd like to build a Zope site
around this database. Does/can Gadfly gracefully share files, or does it
open its files in "exclusive" mode?

I have not tested out Gadfly's client/server capability. Any luck with
this? What does Zope use?

Oh, and can I easily update the Gadfly distribution that comes with Zope
with a new one? I know this was discussed a little while ago, but I
didn't see anything conclusive coming out of that discussion.
