[Zope-dev] Re: ZOBD and pointers

2005-06-21 Thread Tim Peters
[Yair Benita]
 Reading this answer I understand that anything I store should be
 persistent, even if its a list I don't plan to edit.

[Tim Peters]
 I wouldn't say that.  For example, for _most_ applications it would be
 foolish to create a subclass of Persistent to store an integer, as
 opposed to just storing an integer directly.  I can conceive of
 (unlikely!) applications where there may be advantages to storing
 integers as perisistent objects, though.

[Tres Seaver]
 As, for instance, where the integer changes much more frequently than
 the other attributes, which are large enough that re-storing them just
 because the integer attribute changed is painful.

Yup, that's a possible reason.  Another recently popped up, which I'll
exaggerate to make the point:  you have 100,000 distinct integer ids,
and you have 10,000 objects each with a (Python) list containing
10,000 of those ids.  If you load those all into memory, Python will
allocate space for 1*1 = 100 million integer objects, and that
will consume more than a gigabyte of RAM.  But if integers are stored
as one unique persistent object per unique integer, it can't require
more than 100 thousand distinct persistent integers in memory (because
that's the total number of distinct integer ids).  The RAM difference
is a factor of about 1000 (but ignoring that it takes more RAM to hold
a persistent wrapper than to hold a straight integer).

I'll note that IISets avoid this problem via a different route:  they
hold their integers as raw bits, not as Python integer objects.  When
you extract an element from an IISet, a Python integer object is
created on-the-fly to wrap the bits.

 Making the attribute a persistent sub-object also eliminates the chance of a
 ConflictError based on changes to the other attributes.

I didn't follow that one.  If other attributes change, they can
trigger conflict errors, right?

 This is the use case which drives BTrees.Length, right?

The important part of that is its conflict resolution method, which
keeps track of the correct final size of a BTree in the face of
concurrent mutations.  BTrees don't keep track of their own size
because every addition or deletion would have to percolate the change
in size back up to the root of the BTree, and we'd get conflict errors
on the root object then.  As is, most additions and deletions change
only the leaf Bucket node where the mutation takes place, giving
mutation often-useful spatial locality in the face of concurrent
mutations.

I wish we could do better than that, though:  from what I see, most
people don't realize that len(some_BTree) takes time linear in the
number of elements, and sucks the entire BTree into RAM.  The rest
seem to have trouble, at least at first, using BTrees.Length
correctly.  I suppose that's what you get when a scheme is driven by
pragmatic implementation compromises instead of by semantic necessity.
 Give enough pain, it should be possible to hide the BTrees.Length
strategy under the covers, although I'm not sure the increase in
storage size could be justified to users who have mastered the details
of doing it manually (the problem being that many uses for BTrees
never care to ask for the size, so wouldn't want to pay extra
overheads for keeping track of size efficiently).

Imaging object A with attributes 'foo' (a string), 'bar' (a normal
Python int), and 'baz' (a hypothetical persistent int).  Assigning
directly to 'baz' would still conflict with assigning to 'foo' or 'bar';
 however, the persistent int object might have an update protocol
which made its value changeable without needing to rebind another PI
into its parent.

Re: [Zope] accessing session data error

2005-06-21 Thread Leticia Larrosa

Hi:

Thanks to Michael Dunstan. I test with the recomendation of 
Michael but I still get the error. In pages where I get the error, if I wait 
some seconds and refresh the pages, I obtain the correct 
information (no get the error).

I thinks that the problem maybe are similar to the guess of Michael, 
but I test "breaking up ``init2`` into two scripts" and the error don't 
disappear. :(

Any help will be useful.

Thanks in advance,

 Hi Leticia,  The mixture of ``response.write()`` 
including _javascript_ to drive the  browser to a new location 
along with writing objects in ZODB all  within the same 
transaction can break some of the promises that you'd  
normally expect Zope and a browser to keep.  My guess is 
that browser is being told to visit ``end`` before the  
transaction started by ``init2`` has finished. Perhaps a conflict 
 error is causing that transaction to take longer than you expect. 
 Normally this would not trip you up as your browser does not 
see  anything until after the transaction has finished. (In 
this normal  mode you might see a conflict error rendered in 
the browser if the  publication machinery had to give up.)
  For your example try breaking up ``init2`` into two scripts. 
The  first that writes the session data and then redirects the 
browser to  the second. The second then does not touch session 
data and manages  all the ``response.write()``s. And remove 
the unused ``sessionData =  context.REQUEST.SESSION`` from 
``external``.  Cheers Michael  On

After a clone of the type is made based on Plone Folder, some changes

an action is changed to point to a custom template.


This is a better option than using the copy/paste API like you might do

[Zope] Set sort variables with nice url

2005-06-21 Thread David Pratt
Hi.  I have a nice scheme for my ordering, sorting and batch paging my  
summary columns for objects and sql data but I have been using urls  
like  
employee_edit_form?employee_id=42start:int=2sort=employeereverse:int= 
0 in my lists up till now.


These would be  tal:attributes in my zpt, (a string) for href attribute  
so that you click to edit the appropriate record.  I have hidden fields  
in my edit form that accept the start, sort, and reverse in the request  
so that when the edit is done there is a response.redirect to pass user  
back to the index_html on the proper page in the batch.


I am trying to use the Allow Simple Direct Traversal under the  
Advanced tab for ZSQL queries to give me nice urls when passing an id  
parameter to a zsql query with results in an edit form. URLs like:


/employee_by_id/42/employee_edit_form

This works nicely except I need the edit_form to also get my start,  
sort and reverse parameters and I  am hoping there might be some way of  
setting the request in the edit_form so it is possible to use this nice  
zsql traversal feature.  Can someone suggest a solution that would not  
involve direct parameter passing in the url - but in someway of setting  
the request so when the edit_form is called these other parameters are  
available in the request.  Note that start, order and reverse are  
available variables in my index_html and change based on the batch page  
and column heading urls selected.  I have tried using something like  
tal:define=dummy python:REQUEST.set('tmp_sort', sort) to see if I  
could set tmp_sort in index_form and when edit_form called tmp_sort  
might appear in the request.  Alternatively is there some type of  
javascript that might help with this to either pass the remaining  
parameters or use history in some way?


On a second note, can someone advise me of what I need to place inside  
the dtml-comment area in a filesystem zsql query so that it will use  
simple direct traversal.


Many thanks,
David

My reports needing always 40s-120s, so is there someone that could give me a

The easiest way would be to use a different browser ;-)

I think IE can be customized to use a different timeout (I do not 
know as I use Mozilla -- by default without timeout).

There is a very old product around, I think its name is LocalProc,
to execute long running requests in the background and provide
some view on its face. It may not longer work in current Zope
versions but may be instructive how to proceed...

[Zope] Zope External Editor Problem

2005-06-21 Thread hpinson
Hello. I am having a problem with Zope External Editor 0.8 - the 
helper app running on W2K.  This problem occurred on upgrade from the 
previous version.

When I lauch the external editor, by clicking the pencil, MS Word 
lauches (and if I save, badly mangles the HTML.

In ZopeEdit.ini my editor setting has not changed:

# Uncomment and specify an editor value to override the editor
# specified by the operating system
editor = C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe

I used to be able to change this path to Dreamweaver as well, but 
when I do that, only MS Word launches.

What could account for this? Is there a solution to get Zope External 
Editor working as it did prior to the upgrade?

That problem that has nothing to do with any of the dynamic elements in

You're not learning HTML at the same time as ZPT, are you?

One should know HTML before dealing with any HTML templating language. I 
dare say it's a fool's errand to try  to learn ZPT unless you have an 
understanding of HTML and XML-sh languages in general.

Now that you know, you should notify the author/site and get it fixed.

Hi Chris.  The ini  that I was editing is located at:

c:\program files\zopeexternaleditor

Which is where the previous versions had been looking.

I looked in:

C:\Documents and Settings\me

and yes there is another ZopeEdit.ini

Editing that resolves the problem

I wonder if this should be in the readme for upgraders?  I.e there 
can might be more than one .ini file.

Thanks a bunch!

You think it is harder than it is. I can show you by no more than
copy/paste from the ZMI help system.

The macro page (from Help!  Zope Help  ZPT Reference 
metal:define-slot) we will call 'master.html'::

  p metal:define-macro=hello
Hello b metal:define-slot=nameWorld/b
  /p

A client page (from metal:fill-slot)::

  p metal:use-macro=container/master.html/macros/hello
Hello b metal:fill-slot=nameKevin Bacon/b
  /p

In CMF/Plone/etc, one would usually say 'context' instead of 'container'
because of the skins sytem.

It is not a great intellectual leap to replace Hello with header-type
page structure, and replace the whitespace after the slot with
footer-type structure.

 and footer and leaves a slot in the middle for my own content. I don't  
 expect to be able to write my own macro for quite a while - too many 
 pitfalls... I'm not even sure is that is how I should be approaching 
 writing a home page.

Have you tried the tutorial that comes with Zope?
It includes at least one simple example of macros - see lesson 4.

Not sure how to run the tutorial?  The default index_html for a new Zope 
server tells you:

There is a built-in interactive Zope Tutorial which gets you started
with some simple tasks using the Zope managment interface. To use the
tutorial, go to any Folder and select Zope Tutorial from the add list
and click the Add button. Provide a name for the tutorial and click Add
to begin working with the tutorial.

Re: [Zope] Zope External Editor Problem

2005-06-21 Thread Chris McDonough
Yeah, apparently 0.8 (and 0.9) writes some defaults into the homedir
file if it doesn't find it there instead of copying over what exists.
Maybe it should not do this.

 I think IE can be customized to use a different timeout (I do not

No that's not possible with HTTP1.0. The problem is, why IE is using HTTP1.0? 
With HTTP1.1 its possible to change keepalive-timeout.

[Zope] ZPT contents slot

2005-06-21 Thread John Poltorak

If I create a macro which defines a slot called 'content', is there any 
way to have that slot populated by a file with a specific name if it 
exists in a folder? 

What I'd like to do is create a structure text file, in each of the 
folders A B C and have it automatically loaded into a content slot of a 
master template whenever the options A B C are selected.

Can I do that, and if so how?

I have spent all day looking at ZPT references and have no idea if what 
I'd like to do is possible.

You don't have to involve macros::

 divI'm a header/div

 p tal:condition=exists:context/stxfile
tal:replace=structure context/stxfile/CookedBody
   This is sample page content
 /p

 divI'm a footer/div

If 'stxfile' can be aquired, what it renders will be included as page 
structure. (You may need to use a different method one the end of the 
path to render the object; for Documents, this is 'CookedBody'.) 
Otherwise, nothing will be rendered, though you could add a block with 
the oposite condition to supply a default action.


If you do not want the effects of acquisition, you may say instead::

  tal:condition=exists:context/aq_explicit/stxfile

since Zope assumes you generally want acquisition.

Hi Leticia,

Just double check that you are redirecting from the init2-first-half

first-half::


  response.redirect('init2-second-half')

rather than directly calling init2-second-half.

Re: [Zope] Newbie Questions - many-many relationships? Zope 2 or 3?

2005-06-21 Thread Jim Vine
Thanks to those who posted suggestions - certainly
gave me a few things to think about. Unfortunately I
was left with one use Zope 2, one use Zope 3 and a
use Plone, but maybe that's just a reflection of the
fact that there's more than one Zope way to skin a
cat! (yeah, I know I've over-simplified the answers -
no offence is meant!)

On another thread
(http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2005-June/159738.html),
someone said:

The problem is that you develop using the ZMI. It's a
bad pattern. Don't do it.

but the Zope Book (2.7 version)'s chapter on Creating
a Basic Application all seems to be through the ZMI.

Now, Zope's original appeal to me was using the
graphical interface provided by the ZMI to create a
collection of objects which if you wire them up
correctly will become an application, a view that I
think is supported by the Zope Book. However, this
view, and what I've read about Zope 3 seems to
indicate that this way of doing things is deprecated.
Am I correct here? Particularly, if I am building an
app that I think I will want to add extra
functionality to after it has been installed and is in
use, is this a particular reason to avoid developing
with ZMI?

Say, for example that my Zope App in some way has a
House object, which records the address, the owner,
and a short description. Later on, I may wish to add
further fields to record, say, the number of bedrooms,
but the system is already in use - if I've developed
in the ZMI, will this make it harder to make an
upgrade?

Now, if the answer to all of that is yes, then I
think that steers me away from the need for TTW
development (TTW = Through The Web = ZMI, yes?) which
steers me towards Zope 3.

I'm interested by the suggestions on how to handle the
relations.

 Hmm, what I would start with is an attribute for a
 house containing a
 list of references to owners. And vice versa, each
 owner has a list of
 references to houses.

I had thought of this, but my concern was about how to
make sure that the two records are kept accurate -
basically the suggestion is to keep two records saying
the same thing, which just triggers alarm bells with
me.

Another suggestion was:

 Nah. You either let every PropertyOwner have a list
 of the ids of
 HouseProperty objects, or the other way around. Then
 you index this is
 the catalog so you can search. Tada!

I like the sound of this a bit better - just keep
records in one place. So, if I've followed, I let the
the house knows who owns it, and if I go to a
certain owner's page and want it to give me a list of
all the houses she owns, it would do a search through
all the house records to see where she's mentioned.

Thanks again for all the help so far - lots of food
for thought.

Thanks,
Jim

[Zope] TypeError: Cache values must be persistent objects.

2005-06-21 Thread Nikko Wolf

Help!

I'm trying to develop a filesystem-based Product (here 'ABCD') and 
unless I remove the ABCD folder from my Products directory, I get the 
following error IN THE MANAGEMENT INTERFACE.


Is it possible to determine what's causing the problem?  After multiple 
restarts, I did a global Find in the ZMI and (I think) deleted all 
objects of type ABCD Content.  But still the problem persists (no pun 
intended).


Gaah!  How can I fix this?

 Granted, zopelabs.com has flaws. It's harder to find stuff than it
 should be.  Nevertheless, browsing that site, along with reading the
 Zope book (the old print version), was instrumental in getting me from
 knowing nothing, to the point where I became a full-time zope developer.
 We didn't even have the great resource of zopewiki.org back then.
 Use that too, zopewiki is your friend.
 There are tons of good links from http://zopewiki.org/PageTemplates

Thanks. I'll check that.
 
 In general, I don't know how you expect to make any progress when your
 typical response to the (many) suggestions you receive on this list is
 I can't read that, it's too much work.

If I spend a couple of days on something and make no progress, I'd say 
it's 'too much work'. Wouldn't you.

I was on a course over the weekend where ordinary people in their 70's 
with no technical ability were knocking together websites in just a few 
hours with no prior training and no understanding of the 
underlying concepts involved. Why should Zope be just as easy?

 
  Most of the newbie stuff about macros 
  is probably quite old by now so I doubt whether I'd find it with a 
  sequential browse through the Cookbook. 
 
 probably? doubt? 
 
  It's disappointing to find that the link from Newbies under the ZOPE 
  section does not function.
 
 True that. I don't know what happened to zopenewbies.net.
  
  What I really need is something like a ZPT macro which defines a header 
  and footer and leaves a slot in the middle for my own content. I don't

There is a quantum leap between the tutorial and being able to do anything 
useful with a website. What the tutorial needs to to handhold you through 
putting together something like the homepage of zope.org.

there is just so much stuff on it.
  

So you prefer to ignore it?

  
  
Just how much time should you spend on something when you are deriving no 
benefit just increasing frustration?

 
  
  
Granted, zopelabs.com has flaws. It's harder to find stuff than it
should be.  Nevertheless, browsing that site, along with reading the
Zope book (the old print version), was instrumental in getting me from
knowing nothing, to the point where I became a full-time zope developer.
We didn't even have the great resource of zopewiki.org back then.
Use that too, zopewiki is your friend.
There are tons of good links from http://zopewiki.org/PageTemplates

  
  
Thanks. I'll check that.
  
  
In general, I don't know how you expect to make any progress when your
typical response to the (many) suggestions you receive on this list is
"I can't read that, it's too much work".

  
  
If I spend a couple of days on something and make no progress, I'd say 
it's 'too much work'. Wouldn't you.

I was on a course over the weekend where ordinary people in their 70's 
with no technical ability were knocking together websites in just a few 
hours with no prior training and no understanding of the 
underlying concepts involved. Why should Zope be just as easy?

 
  
  

  Most of the newbie stuff about macros 
is probably quite old by now so I doubt whether I'd find it with a 
sequential browse through the Cookbook. 
  

"probably"? "doubt"? 



  It's disappointing to find that the link from Newbies under the ZOPE 
section does not function.
  

True that. I don't know what happened to zopenewbies.net.
 


  What I really need is something like a ZPT macro which defines a header 
and footer and leaves a slot in the middle for my own content. I don't  
expect to be able to write my own macro for quite a while - too many 
pitfalls... I'm not even sure is that is how I should be approaching 
writing a home page.
  

Have you tried the tutorial that comes with Zope?
It includes at least one simple example of macros - see lesson 4.

Not sure how to run the tutorial?  The default index_html for a new Zope 
server tells you:

"""There is a built-in interactive Zope Tutorial which gets you started
with some simple tasks using the Zope managment interface. To use the
tutorial, go to any Folder and select Zope Tutorial from the add list
and click the Add button. Provide a name for the tutorial and click Add
to begin working with the tutorial.
"""

  
  
There is a quantum leap between the tutorial and being able to do anything 
useful with a website. What the tutorial needs to to handhold you through 
putting together something like the homepage of zope.org.

I think IE can be customized to use a different timeout (I do not

 No that's not possible with HTTP1.0. The problem is, why IE is using HTTP1.0? 
 With HTTP1.1 its possible to change keepalive-timeout.

'keepalive' only refers to the lenght of time that the browser-webserver
connection stays open between the completion of one request and the
beginning of another to the same server.

The behavior we are discussing here is that IE (or sometimes Apache in
the middle) is configured to time out a single request after a period of
time;  Mozilla and derived browsers don't do that by default.

Can I do that, and if so how?

I have spent all day looking at ZPT references and have no idea if 
what I'd like to do is possible.



You don't have to involve macros::

 divI'm a header/div

 p tal:condition=exists:context/stxfile
tal:replace=structure context/stxfile/CookedBody
   This is sample page content
 /p

 divI'm a footer/div

If 'stxfile' can be aquired, what it renders will be included as page 
structure. (You may need to use a different method one the end of the 
path to render the object; for Documents, this is 'CookedBody'.) 
Otherwise, nothing will be rendered, though you could add a block 
with the oposite condition to supply a default action.




Is 'stxfile' the actual filename? I'm not concerned about it being 
structured initially - just want to see it working in principle with 
any file containg some text.



It's the name of an object. I made up this name for your structure text
file, in each of the folders A B C. You may call it as you will.

Note: there is no such thing as a file in the ZODB. Everything is an
object.

This is how content is viewed. One thing I forgot to mention: you
would apply this template (say it's named 'special_view') to your
folders, like:

http://localhost/A/special_view
http://localhost/B/special_view
http://localhost/C/special_view

Now, if we used a template like this (let's name it 'direct_view')::

  divI'm a header/div

  p tal:replace=structure context/CookedBody
This is sample page content
  /p

  divI'm a footer/div

we could apply it like so::

http://localhost/A/stxfile/direct_view
http://localhost/B/stxfile/direct_view
http://localhost/C/stxfile/direct_view

This is a much more typical pattern, at least for content. If you want
to apply a wrapper to page templates, then you use macros.

Yes

I was on a course over the weekend where ordinary people in their 70's 
with no technical ability were knocking together websites in just a few 
hours with no prior training and no understanding of the 
underlying concepts involved. Why should Zope be just as easy?


Because Zope is hard. You can make some great sites/applications with 
Zope but for all except the very simplest you need


. advanced understanding of html and xml
or
. a thorough grounding in programming principles
or
. a working knowledge of Python

- and preferably all three.

Most (not all) of the people who hang out here have all three of these 
skill sets, and like many skilled people, they find it hard to 
understand that the skills they have seem arcane to beginners. You 
should also understand that nobody (AFAIK) is 'them' with an interest in 
making Zope easy and helping you. You depend on the kindness of 
strangers, so politeness and gratitude pay.


In addition, Zope is heading fast into even less friendly territory. 
DTML, which is technically 'mucky' but reasonably easy to grasp for 
non-programmers, is increasingly deprecated. Through-the-web editing 
likewise. I'm not saying these trends are bad, just that they are 
happening, they make the learning curve steeper, and that they lock out 
almost all casual users unless they have the skills noted above.


The alternative in the Zope world is Plone, where you can get a site up 
and rolling in very little time (as long as you are happy for it to look 
and operate like almost every other Plone site on the planet).


or there's PHP, where the communities are probably more newbie-friendly 
and there are loads of tutorials.


or you could decide that Zope does some stuff which you must have, in 
which case David H's stereotypical response



If you spent more time just *learning* Zope and HTML, etc and less time 
rationalizing your lack of progress everyone would be happy.


is appropriate.

Good luck.

Such a change might not be a problem using ZMI, as you can freely add

  Hmm, what I would start with is an attribute for a

 I had thought of this, but my concern was about how to
 make sure that the two records are kept accurate -
 basically the suggestion is to keep two records saying
 the same thing, which just triggers alarm bells with
 me.

Yes, it should have triggered mine too, as I wouldn't do that in my own

  Nah. You either let every PropertyOwner have a list

Hi,

DTML, which is technically 'mucky' but reasonably easy to grasp for non-programmers,

 is increasingly deprecated.

I just started to learn Zope recently. I choose dtml over page templates

= has the possibility to build dynamic SQL queries;
= was written in the Book to exist forever.

I would like to know that 'increasingly deprecated' means by everybody 
(I mean here: in the www-programmers-word), or just by Zope.


Does this mean that it would be better to deep into ztemplates?
In this case what are the alternatives to build sql queries on an easy way?

Thanks in advance,

I highly doubt the stuff they were knocking together was
a sophisticated application, e.g. anything on the order of CMFDefault, not

 There is a quantum leap between the tutorial and being able to do anything

 putting together something like the homepage of zope.org.

That would be an immense tutorial!
There are some case studies of similar sites in Andy McKay's excellent
Plone Book. But they depend on reading and understanding
many chapters before you get that far.

Jon, I know this is frustrating for you. You are encountering
the (in)famous Z-shaped learning curve.  You have hit the upslope.
At this point, the trivial stuff (mostly) makes sense to you, but
there's a vast-looking chasm between where you are and where
you want to be. We've all been there. It *does* get better. Really.
But it can take months of perseverance to reach the other side.
And there's not really any way to skip the hard part.

You might find this interesting.

That's FUD and not true. DTML is not being deprecated, period. Don't

[Zope] Zope crashing after movin Plone site to RHEL 4

2005-06-21 Thread Mário Gamito

Hi,

I have this 1.0.2 Plone site running for about two years, or so.
It always ran smoothly.

Recently, i've moved it to a new server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

I've compiled Python 2.1.3 and start Zope with:
exec /usr/local/python-2.1.3/bin/python $cwd/z2.py -L 'pt_PT' -u zope $@

Now, i'm having this big problem: Zope crashes every day once or twice.
Onle restoring a previous Zope backup i can get Zope and Plone up again.

Is there something wrong here ?
Something specific to RHEL 4 ?

Thank you in advance.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

Don't compare PHP with Zope. PHP is a tiny language compared to the fat 
Zope frameworks. Working with Zope on the scripter level (ZPT, DTMl, ZSQL) 
requires similar skills as a PHP programmer. If you want to go beyond you 
have approach open-minded and come a with some solid knowledge in 
programming and understanding architectural issues in Zope. But when I read 
some questions here then I have the impression that people except that Zope 
solves their problems although neither they don't understand the problems 
themselves nor have the basic skills to  reach the goal.
That's not a but being newbie-friendly but one can expect as certain level 
of knowledge when you're working with Zope...e.g. the knowledge how HTML 
works (that's something kids learn at school nowadays).
