[Zope] sending form data offsite

[Edward Muller]

For me the params were passed into the external method like so...

def do_the_thing(params):
  .....


This was called from a python script like so ...

context.do_the_thing( {
			'param1' : 'value1',
			'param2' : 'value2'
		})

The original value came from a REQUEST object....

I'd actually like to turn this into a mini product at some point :-).
