You would use it as you would use it outside Zope. No difference, it's
just all Python.

I guess I having a mental block then. To use it from what I know I
would have create a Zope 2 product from it somehow or create callable
scripts in the ZMI from the provided code. Neither seems reasonable.

Is there other way to use the code that I am not understanding?

it is enough to create an external python script.
this is a "normal" python script that has to reside in
YOUR ZOPEINSTANCE/parts/instance/Extentions

you can do what ever you like in such a script.
there are no restrictions (that I know of).

Well, you need to do something with the rrules, yes. And that
obviously needs to be done in some sort of Zope product. And you will
need to write that, so it does what you want it to do.

But the dtutil module itself you simply use from Python like this:

from dtutil import rrule
rrule.whatevereblahlahlah()


I have the feeling (but I could be wrong) that there is a very long
distance from what you want to what you say you want. Maybe you can
explain what you actually want to do, your usecases etc.

I have recurring events that I want to schedule (the events are
sending email, Twitter DMs and Facebook messages -- at least those are
the possible ones that I have identified so far). I need some flexible
way to both specify the intervals and interpret the intervals so that
the next event in a sequence can be specified in real time terms and
scheduled.

The event schedule at least in plain English could be something like "
every weekday at 8:45", "every Monday at 9:00 and 1:00", "every day at
2:00", "the first of every month at 9:00", "every other Monday". I
realize that I may have to settle for something that is not quite as
flexible as I imagine and at least for now I am just trying to see if
someone else has solved this problem or one similar and has something
I can use as a base.

I do have a way to trigger and execute the events at specific times.

Right, so you need to make these events as you normally write your applications.

And that's what dateutil.rrule is for.

I had a look at tutorials to create products for Zope2 and at first
glance they are beyond by pay grade.

Maybe I will look at them more closely to see if I might have been
hasty but likely it will be easier for me and take less time just to
write what I need in script and forgo the "I would like to do stuff".

Regardless thanks for the help.
