possible to run zipline within online backtester?

Is is possible to import the full zipline and run it within the online backtester? The reason I'm asking is that presently, there is no way to iteratively run a backtest for optimization (other than manually). So, if zipline could be called multiple times within handle_data, then optimization could be peformed (at least within the 50 second timeout window for a call to handle_data) using the historical data. Presumably, the same scheme would work for live trading, as well.
