[Zope-dev] Five and browser-oriented components

2008-04-10 Thread Malthe Borch
On Z2, certain imports need to come from Products.Five, to play nicely 
with ZPublisher and friends.


I'd like to ask for the motivation for not patching it onto the existing 
classes and/or modules. The effect of having Z2-developers import from 
Products.Five is that they must opt out on packages that make use of 
templates, browser views, formlib, ... --- and it adds needless complexity.


This split might also have prompted the Plone community to walk their 
own way to the extend that there isn't much code reuse outside of the 
core Zope packages (along with egg dependencies, but with our fake eggs, 
we're almost up to par here).

I recently started adding that option again for some of my projects. For
a few frequently updated sites I do a lot of updates  installs without
making full releases and it is extremely convenient to be able to see
which exact revision number I'm currently using.

For making releases, I create a tag and remove the setup.cfg file from

And I agree with Wichert that for non-public packages, these development
snapshot releases can be useful.

IMO, any implicitness here will eventually slap you in your face, cause

FiveFormLibMixin implicitly changes my request to be more conform with
formlib .  This has caused confusion and pain for me in the past.

Therefore, I'd argue that we should, in contrary to what you suggest,
make the Zope 2 compatibility layer more explicit in the form of utility
functions, instead of more implicit.  Because it makes things more
transparent and easier to debug.

One concrete argument against patching the Zope 3 view page template in
Five to be Zope 2 conform is that this would stand in the way of
legitimate use of pure Zope 3 views in Zope 2 applications, which is
something that's quite feasible today.  We don't to lock ourselves into
a situation where Z3 templates in Z2 assume that the view is acquisition
wrapped.

You might be right; but it's a very bad place to be, stuck in the middle 
of two frameworks. We're duplicating code all over the place, and while 
this has obvious inherent qualities, it also wears us out as a community.


I fail to understand why people are not more motivated to get rid of all

Technically, I think that this is going to be hard. You'd need to patch 
in the magic acquisition base class. Acquisition is the main reason that 
some of the code needed to be duplicated - without the existence of 
acquisition wrappers, security checks are not made for view access and 
things just won't work.


We do explicit acquisition in those bits of code, but it's still a pain 
and leads to confusion around self.context in views being 
acquisition-wrapped weirdly, breaking some expectations around aq_parent.


The other argument against monkey-patching is that monkey-patching is 
something to be avoided if at all possible. I think it's wise to avoid 
it here, as it's possible. If you monkey-patched core Zope 3 classes, 
the chances are that you'll break Zope 3 code that assumes certain behavior.


The way to get rid of many of these problems would be to get rid of the 
need for acquisition. Philipp started a branch long ago that allows the 
acquisition system to look at a __parent__ pointer if no acquisition 
wrapper is present. Since our views have __parent__ pointers, this 
should fix the issue. This branch has been lingering in an almost 
ready state for a long time now.


In general, I think acquisition is one of the major remaining stumbling 
block in enabling quite a bit of straightforward Zope 3 code in Zope 2. 
Here are some more of my thoughts on this:

 You might be right; but it's a very bad place to be, stuck in the
 middle of two frameworks. We're duplicating code all over the place,
 and while this has obvious inherent qualities, it also wears us out as
 a community.

I think I found a useful pattern for how to work with z3c.forms to avoid
duplication.  For each page that has forms, I make two views; one is the
Products.Five.BrowserView view that's looked up by the publisher and is
registered with ZCML.  The other is my z3c.form.form.Form that does the
actual work and renders my content area.  The relationship between these
two forms is similar to that of forms and subforms.

Here is an example of how this looks like in practice:

class MyForm(z3c.form.form.Form):
template = Z3ViewPageTemplateFile('form.pt')

fields = z3c.form.Fields(ISomething)

@button.buttonAndHandler(_('Apply'), name='apply')
def handle_apply(self, action):
data, errors = self.extractData()
# ...

class PloneView(Products.Five.BrowserView):
__call__ = Z2ViewPageTemplateFile('main.pt')
form = MyForm

def contents(self):
z2.switch_on(self)
return self.form(self.context.aq_inner, self.request)()

Here, main.pt is the part that renders main_template and pulls in
view/contents into the content area.

z2.switch_on() is a compatibility function that fiddles a bit with the
Zope 2 request to make it work with z3c.form (and also calls Five's
decodeInput).

Of course, PloneView is generic enough to be subclassed at this point:

class MyFunnyView(PloneView):
form = MyFunnyForm

What's the advantage of this separation?

  - You don't have to worry about Acquisition in your form code, which
will make out the bigger part of your code.  The implications of
Five's BrowserView being derived from Acquisition.Explicit has often
left me confused.  (Death to self.context.aq_inner!)

  - You can reuse form code between Zope 2 and Zope 3. 

  - Your forms can be rendered in any part of your page, like in
portlets.

  - No subclassing of classes in z3c.form is necessary to use the forms
in Zope 2.  (In contrast to Five's current way of subclassing
formlib.)

[Zope-dev] [zope.testing.doctest] a nasty surprise

2008-04-10 Thread Dieter Maurer
As the community (apparently) strongly favors doctest over
unittest, I wrote my first test based on zope.testing.doctest.
And promptly, I was badly surprised

In order to analyse a difficult problem, I added
from dm.pdb import zpdb; zpdb.set_trace() in the doctest
(dm.pdb.zpdb is my Zope aware PDB extension)
-- and got a TypeError: set_trace requires at least one argument, 0 given.
Now, I know the zpdb.set_trace() does not want any arguments.
I moved the line from the doctest code into the failing infrastructure code --
same TypeError.
I called help(zpdb.set_trace) and got:

Help on function set_trace in module zope.testing.doctest:

set_trace(self)

Apparently, doctest has overridden zpdb.set_trace in
an incompatible way


I will rewrite my test as unittest and probably avoid in the future 
zope.testing.doctest whenever possible.

Ideally we'd guess based on the URL scheme but allow it to be set 
explicitly, IMHO. Single phase would be the fallback, I guess.


I don't like the idea of guessing too much, but it could be done in the 
__init__. There might be good reasons to choose one phase commit even 
for a two phase commit supporting database (i.e. when you only are 
talking to a single database, it is more efficient).


Given that a single database is the common case I am tempted to say just 
make 1PC the default.


Should the default be for sessions to start out `active` or `dirty`? 
If they start out `dirty` then existing 1.0 code should work as before.


What are the implications of having them start out dirty?


Unnecessary commits to the database for read only transactions (i.e. the 
current situation)

We are going into production with collective.lead and are committed to

use it to run unit tests and for developers that just need to adjust
the styling and such. The production environment will run against
Oracle.


The elro-tpc branch (which, I was told, is the future) doesn't appear 
to work with sqlite out of the box.


I think this is a temporary bug, as Laurence pointed out, caused by 
SQLite not supporting two-phase commit. It should be fixed before 
release, by adding a one-phase fallback.


I'm curious how to do functional tests with collective.lead - I'd like 
to have some real easy way to get the database set up and tore down 
down in my tests. Are you doing this?


I'm doing a lot of it in Java. :) The typical pattern is to use a test 
setup that does database clean-down to return it to a steady state. Test 
data is kept in a declarative file (e.g. with an XML syntax that maps to 
DB structure) and used to initialise the database before each run.


Doing nested transactions and rollback would be nicer, but probably 
doesn't work in all cases since app code may well do explicit commits.


Note that sqlite does not support nested transactions or savepoints.



It's never particularly pleasant.

Alternatively, is there another location where proposed changes to the

I've looked at your latest checkins a bit.  I got the impression at one
or two places that you didn't quite understand the point of my
suggestion, but none of those were very important.  And, you know,
perfect is the enemy of good.  I've no objections for the merge.

 I
 believe there is some consensus that needs to be reached with the other
 zope.sendmail maintainers?

No, I don't think so.  There's no code ownership in Zope: everybody can
do whatever he or she wants.  At worst you'll get yelled at if you
introduce a bug or commit broken untested code somewhere. ;-)

Agreed. I think the common base layer should do the minimum
transaction integration stuff and leave any policy to layers on top.

Hopefully we'll arrive at a commonly used package for containers too
at some point, but we'll see about that then.

Thanks a lot for pick up that work. Looks very promising.

doctest monkey-patches pdb.set_trace (in an ugly way, IMHO) to restore

We do explicit acquisition in those bits of code, but it's still a pain

acquisition-wrapped weirdly, breaking some expectations around aq_parent.


And other bizarre things sometimes.

The way to get rid of many of these problems would be to get rid of the 
need for acquisition. Philipp started a branch long ago that allows the 
acquisition system to look at a __parent__ pointer if no acquisition 
wrapper is present. Since our views have __parent__ pointers, this 
should fix the issue. This branch has been lingering in an almost 
ready state for a long time now.


Ah, great minds think alike. ;)

dm.pdb is on PyPI.

And your intuition is right.
zpdb rebinds pdb.set_trace overriding the name Pdb.


Now, I also understand how the TypeError results:

   doctest has replaced the function set_trace by an instance method.
   Rebinding unwraps the InstanceMethod and operates only on
   the enclosed function -- the implicit instance argument is lost.

The point is: we don't need yet another configuration language for the 
configuration of a site. ZCML should be used for the purpose it has been 
intended for: for the configuration of the components of your site (easily 
spoken). This kind of configuration is static if you setup a site for 
project X. But settings like ports, paths etc. often differ between dev, 
test and production environments.


We already have ZConfig as standard cofniguration language for instance 
specific configuration aspects. In addition: we often do use environment 
variables and .ini files for additional configurations. Introducing another 
configuration language is stupid. Especially because system administrators 
or co-workers know little or nothing about ZCML. This is an unnecessary 
introduction of complexity. Setting an environment variable with a DSN is 
much easier then having to fiddle around with ZCML and XML...totally 
unnecessary overheadkeep it simple ...using ZCML in this configuration 
context is only for XML masochists.

But if I change domain (e.g i18n:domain=mydomain) it doesn't work. Is 
domain attribute is related to the domain specified in .po file, coz the

understand that these are zope3 examples, but just thought of giving 
try. While searching further I found - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope2/+bug/142771 which gives hint that 
i18n:target not supported at least for Zope 2.9.7-final, python 2.4.4, win32


I will try to check for incoming browser headers, but does zope provides 
any inbuilt method to do so ?


Thank you,

Dear list members,

I am newbie/begineer in area of zope2 + i18n/L10n so please excuse me if 
this topic has already been discussed on the list, in that case can some 
one please point me to the past discussions/threads.


After reading some basics about i18n+zope2, I have tried following - 
(zope version - Zope 2.9.7-final, python 2.4.4, win32

and Placeless Translation Service - 1.3.7)

Created simple page template -
html
body
span i18n:domain=PlacelessTranslationService i18n:translate=Reload 
this catalog

Reload this catalog
/span
/body
/html



I would expect either:

  i18n:translate=

so that the string behind it ends up in the .pot file (and you don't
repeat yourself needlessly; also think what would happen when you
change one string but forget to change the other).

Or:

  i18n:translate=reload_this_catalog 


or some other unique message id.

But the above code should work.

Well, using PlacelessTranslationService as i18n:domain is strange.
You should use the name of your own product/package.

  
Modified language preferences for browsers - (Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4 
and MS-IE 7.0.5730.11) to set German [de] as primary langage.


When I viewed above page in firfox got the corresponing german 
translation (Diesen Katalog neu einlesen) as specified in related .po 
file.  But with MS-IE, no luck, gives same string - Reload this catalog


So is it browser specific/dependable ?



It should not.  Do you have a way to check which browser headers are
sent by IE and firefox and if they differ in the language preference?

  
Another thing I tried is adding attribute i18n:target=cs, but it seems 
to have no effect, firefox gives german translation as per language 
settings as MS-IE gives same string - Reload this catalog


Does it means that attribute target is not supported ? Is there any 
list/documentation about supported i18n attributes ?



I have never seen that attribute.  From the top of my head, these i18n
attributes are used in zope: translate, domain, name and attributes.

  
Also I was not able to find references/examples for DTML, does DTML 
supports i18n/L10n ?



No.  At least, I do not think so, and this grep in a buildout did not
return any relevant results:

grep i18n $(find . -name '*dtml')

2.9 and 2.10 though, not pure Zope 3, so maybe it works fine there.

 I will try to check for incoming browser headers, but does zope provides 
 any inbuilt method to do so ?

In Firefox you can use the livehttpheaders extension to check those.
I don't know if there is something similar to IE.

In zope this information should be visible somewhere in the request
object.  To display the complete request in a page template for
inspection you can probably do this:

  div tal:replace=structure request /

or simply this

  div tal:content=request /

I'd suggest monkeypatching bobobase_modification_time on the objects 
you're testing with. You're testing your cache code, not the 
implementation of those objects, so replacing them with (partially) 
dummy objects is great for avoiding this kind of problem and is a 
pattern I've used frequently...

Re: [Zope] Conditional dtml-boundary in dtml-sendmail

The email library should be available to use with a Script (Python) and can

 Dear list

 I'm trying to send a multi-part email after having submitted a
 form. In that form, the user will give some basic information
 from him, then he will be able to send at most three files.

 This is my dtml-method to send email after having submitted the
 data:

 dtml-let email=REQUEST.get('aba_email_txt').encode('utf-8')
  name=REQUEST.get('aau_name_txt').encode('utf-8')
  lastName=REQUEST.get('aat_vorname_txt').encode('utf-8')

  file1=REQUEST.get('aap_dateien_anhang_dat')
  file2=REQUEST.get('aaq_dateien_anhang_dat')
  file3=REQUEST.get('aar_dateien_anhang_dat')

 dtml-sendmail smtphost=my_host.my_domain.com
 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 From: dtml-email;
 Subject: Anfrage dtml-name; dtml-lastName; - dtml-company;
 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
 dtml-mime type=text/html; charset=utf-8
 html
  body
Some html code comes here
  /body
 /html
 dtml-boundary type=application/octet-stream disposition=attachment
   filename_expr=file1.filename
 dtml-var file1.read()dtml-boundary type=application/octet-stream
 disposition=attachment
   filename_expr=file2.filename
 dtml-var file2.read()dtml-boundary type=application/octet-stream
 disposition=attachment
   filename_expr=file3.filename
 dtml-var file3.read()/dtml-mime
 /dtml-sendmail
 /dtml-let

 Let's say that the user doesn't submit file3, on that case, zope will
 generate something like this: some_ramdom_id.dat and it will attach
 an empty file. I tried something like this:

 dtml-if file1.filename not in ['', None]dtml-boundary
  type=application/octet-stream disposition=attachment
  filename_expr=file1.filename
 dtml-var file1.read()/dtml-if

 However when I try to save, zope fails and says:

 
 Error Type: Document Template Parse Error
 Error Value: Unexpected tag, for tag dtml-boundary
 type=application/octet-stream disposition=attachment
 filename_expr=file1.filename , on line 215 of sendAnfrage
 

 The only way I found to cope with this was doing a script to validate if a
 file has whether a name or not, then I will return a dictionary like this:
 {'name': real_name_or_dummy_name, 'data': file.read()_or_dummy_text}

 So, I feed the boundary with a dummy file when no file was uploaded. I
 don't
 really like to send dummy files since it may confuse the person receiving
 the emails. Is there any better way of achieving this? Please note that
 since I'm working in the zmi and I'm not the administrator of the machine
 where my page is hosted, I can only use dtml to send mail :-(, thus using
 the python mail library isn't an option on this case.

 Best regards
 Josef

Maurits,

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.

I tried i18n:translate=, it works fine.

But if I change domain (e.g i18n:domain=mydomain) it doesn't work. Is 
domain attribute is related to the domain specified in .po file, coz the 
example .po file which comes with PlacelessTranslationService has domain 
as 'PlacelessTranslationService' and if I used same it works fine.



Yes, the two should be the same.  But if you use this domain and other
people use it too because it is the standard example then you can get
conflicting translations.

  

Yes completely agreed.

I tried changing domain in given example .po file (e.g. to 
Domain=mydomain\n), but it doesn't work even after doing Reload
catalog for corresponding .po file object using PTS ZMI. I found reload 
catalog works if we modify message ids/text. Any idea how PTS manages 
this headers (like Domain/Content-Type etc) ? Is it possible to 
reload/refresh/rebuild this information ?

reload catalog works if we modify message ids/text. Any idea how PTS

While working further I found following work aroud ( may not be on 
correct path, but it works)
 -- Edit the headings part (e.g Domain/Language etc) for .po files and 
save file.

 -- Make use of PTS ZMI to delete corresponding ZODB object of .po file.
 -- Restart Zope.

I also found workaound for MSIE behaviour, include heading call 
X-Is-Fallback-For: ?\n in your .po file. For e.g - 
X-Is-Fallback-For: de-de\n.

Well, I said allowing or installing. I wasn't sure if it was and with
allowing I meant by using allow_module or allow_class. I guess you can't
just use this module without removing security assertions. I will try to

[Zope] Upgrade to 2.7.2 results in all content unavailable

2008-04-10 Thread Wes Modes
I upgraded to Zope 2.7.2 and all of my content can't be seen by Zope.  
Honestly I'm not sure what the previous version I was running was (nor 
am I sure how to find out).


Now, every page results in

Site Error
An error was encountered while publishing this resource.
Resource not found
Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.
Check the URL and try again.
Resource: Zope GET

There is effectively no more web interface. 

I've verified that the database still seems to be there in 
[instance]/var/Data.fs and hasn't been touched since the update. 

I tried going through some of the steps in the Troubleshooting and 
Debugging page 
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZDG/current/TestingAndDebugging.stx


I can do a ZPublisher.Zope('/manage') in python and see that it returns 
a Resource not found page.


Interestingly, my log which was being written to /var/log/zope started 
writing to the default location after the install.


I feel like there isn't enough here to determine whether there is a bug 
or whether I've mucked something up myself.  But perhaps some gentle 
guidance would help me determine whether there is a bug or just my own 
ignorance.


Was there a config file that got overwritten in the update?  Where would 
it be?


Perhaps there are some clues in the lines written to the log file upon 
startup.

[Zope] retrieving a single column from database and giving it as hyper link fetching respective data

2008-04-10 Thread member madhangc
Dear all,

I'm developing a biological database using Zope 2.6 and pgsql. Let me
explain my issue with an example. There is a menu called Drug in my
homepage, by clicking the menu the drug names along with their type in two
different columns get displayed in the body. I can do things till that. My
problem is , lets say there is a link called Isoniazid   with all other
links(drug names) in it. When a user clicks one of the links as i said
before as isoniazid only the information about isoniazid has to be
retreived and displayed , likewise to all the other drug links.  I have no
idea how to capture the click event and the data to be retrieved. Can
someone help. Thanks in advance.

And another query, how can i select text from a dropdown box. I just need
the data which is selected in the dropdown box and sent as query.

Thanks again.

If you upgrade then you should upgrade to the latest Zope version or at 
least to the latest 2.7 version. What's the reason for picking just _some_
2.7 version? If you're application works then better stick with your 
working solution. 2.7 is out-dated since a long. If you really want to 
upgrade, then choose the latest 2.10 version.

Dear all,

I'm developing a biological database using Zope 2.6 and pgsql. Let me
explain my issue with an example. There is a menu called Drug in my
homepage, by clicking the menu the drug names along with their type in two
different columns get displayed in the body. I can do things till that. My
problem is , lets say there is a link called Isoniazid   with all other
links(drug names) in it. When a user clicks one of the links as i said
before as isoniazid only the information about isoniazid has to be
retreived and displayed , likewise to all the other drug links.  I have no
idea how to capture the click event and the data to be retrieved. Can
someone help. Thanks in advance.

And another query, how can i select text from a dropdown box. I just need
the data which is selected in the dropdown box and sent as query.



This issue is basically not related to Zope. You can achieve your goal
using Javascript. I recommended looking at some elementary HTML and 
Javascript tutorial.
