Adding custom extension to perform non api actions

[kaniket1234]

Hi,

I am new to pyrest world. Here is my test scenario:
I have two systems.

1. System 1 is stand-alone utility which exposes api to generate data. It also has an api to export data in form of zip
2. System 2 consumes the data and also has set of apis to perform actions

The data generated by system 1 (zip) has to be copied into system 2 and then i have to restart a data consumer service to insert the data in system 2.
I have automated the data generation in System 1 via pyrest. I have also automated the functional validation of system 2 apis using pyrest. But in between, i have to perform a manual step of copying the zip in system 2 and restart data consumer service.
I was wondering if i can automate the copy of zip between systems and service restart functions via pyrest. If that is done, i can have truely automated end-to-end functionality
