[Zope] why I don't use popen2 any more
In the for what it's worth department...
Using Linux (RH 6.2), Zope 2.2.2, Python 1.5.2
I wanted to run a unix command from my External Method that I wrote using
Python. Digging around in Zope archives and other sources, I came up with a
method that worked, of which this is a fragment:
import popen2
(r, w) = popen2.popen2('somecommand')
w.write(commandinput)
w.close()
s = r.read()
r.close()
However, this had the nasty side effect of leaving defunct processes
around. I discovered one instance on the web of someone having this same
problem using Python but not Zope-related. No solution was given.
I *think* the really bad thing about these processes (called zombies?) is
that they may have certain resources, such as files, held open. And they
are said to stay around until the process that created them dies itself.
The fix seems to be easier than the original solution. Replace all of the
above with
import commands
s = commands.getoutput('echo ' + commandinput + ' | somecommand')
Presto, no more defunct processes. Hopefully a more stable Zope. Keen
observers will note the security risk if commandinput contains arbitrary
input from users. Wasn't true for me but it might be for you.
A curiosity: the description in Python Essential Reference says getoutput
uses os.popen2() to execute the command, but I was too lazy^H^H^H^H busy to
investigate further.

[Zope] Zope, squid, the Host header
The "How-To: Configuring Squid as an Accelerator for Zope"
(http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/howto/squid) by htrd doesn't entirely
work for me and/or is over my head! My goal is to use Squid as an http
accelerator in front of zope (using zserver, no apache) on the same
machine. Secondary goal is to be able to access Zope directly also, but
this is much less important. An alternate How-To by itamar
(http://www.zope.org/Members/itamar/Squid) requires the use of SiteAccess,
which I would like to avoid.
Squid seems to be running OK (listening on port 8070, connecting to zope on
port 8080) but wrestling with zope about the Host header has not yet
produced a winner. Specifically, the How-To says:
"If you will be always be accessing this Zope server through the
accelerator then the easiest solution is to configure Zope to ignore the
value of this header. Specify HTTP_HOST=www.myhost.com as either a
command-line parameter to z2.py, or as an environment variable."
I translate this to mean I could set and then export an environment
variable that in my case would be HTTP_HOST=www.myhost.com:8070 since
that's where the server should appear to be to the browser client. For
whatever reason, this is not effective. I can tell because zope still works
fine directly on port 8080 (through port 8070 I get the requested document,
no images, and the baseref is still at port 8080). Inspection of
HTTPRequest.py shows that it does a
if have_env('HTTP_HOST'):
host = strip(environ['HTTP_HOST'])
hostname, port = splitport(host)
and sees www.myhost.com:8080. Specifying the HTTP_HOST= on the command line
has the same (non-) effect. I'd be pretty happy if I got either of those to
work. I'd be even happier if I got the following to work, also quoted from
the htrd How-To:
"A better solution is to get Squid to rewrite the header to the correct value:
1. Compile squid using --disable-internal-dns.
2. Add a mapping from the name of your public server to
the IP address of your Zope server in /etc/hosts
3. If you are running the Zope server on the same machine
as the accelerator then:
1. Change the http_port line in squid.conf to bind
only on the public network interface.
2. Use the -w switch to Z2.py to get Zope to bind to
different network interface (possibly a loopback interface).
Remember to change httpd_accel_host in squid.conf too.
(Thank you to Henrik Nordstrom for showing me that solution.)"
But I really don't understand this method...
1. OK, I know how to do the compile
2. /etc/hosts seem to map the other way, from the IP address
of whatever to a name and some aliases. Does this mean that
I should have a line 111.222.111.222 myhost.com myhost
or is something else implied.
3.1 meaning "http_port myhost.com:8070" ?
3.2 this means?
All help sincerely appreciated.

[Zope] overriding manage_beforeDelete in a CatalogAware Product
I think I need help in overriding the manage_beforeDelete method from
CatalogAware. Just to be sure I'm asking the right question, here's the
background:
I have a Product (in Python, not TTW) whose instances get cataloged in a
separate ZCatalog called CommentCatalog. My product's class inherits from
CatalogAware and other classes and can successfully index itself by calling
thusly in the __init__ routine:
self.manage_editCataloger('CommentCatalog')
self.index_object()
Reindex also works just fine.
But I'm confused about how to get rid of the index entry upon delete. I
think I need to set the catalog name and then call the inherited
manage_beforeDelete routine. So I tried this:
def manage_beforeDelete(self, item, container):
"Be sure we unindex ourselves from our special catalog"
self.manage_editCataloger('CommentCatalog')
self.CatalogAware.manage_beforeDelete(item, container)
Not too surprisingly, the code throws an "AttributeError: CatalogAware"
into the Stupid Log File and doesn't remove the object from CommentCatalog.
Of course I don't understand what the correct incantation is, so I'm
appealing for guidance.
Zope 2.2.2, Python 1.5.2, RH 6.2, etc

[Zope-dev] extending objectValues() and objectIds() or ?
I have developed a flock of Python products that have attributes
'first_date', 'last_date', and 'ok_to_publish' with the intention that
these attributes will be set by the content managers. Each product also has
an 'isPublishable' method that returns true if 'ok_to_publish' is true
_and_ today = 'first_date' _and_ today = 'last_date'. This all works fine
but I find myself writing DTML in many places to retrieve a list of objects
with objectValues() and then looping over them making yet another list of
only the objects that are publishable.
What I would really like is an objectValues() and an objectIds() that
return only publishable objects/ids. It looks like this could be easily
accomplished by {tremble} adding an additional parameter to those two
routines, say chkPub=None so that I could do a call such as
objectValues('Poll',1) when I wanted just the publishable Poll items
returned. However...
1. modifying ObjectManager.py doesn't seem like the best move I've ever
thought of
2. I'm confused about the ObjectManager internals - can I call my
isPublishable methods on objects that ObjectManager keeps in its lists? How?
I guess a better question, rather than asking about this one possible
solution, would be:
How can I extend Zope to give me a list of objects qualified by more than
just the meta_type?
Guidance gleefully gathered. Thanks!

Within my site (application), I can ask that description be rendered this way... dtml-var "myDoc.description" fmt=structured-text By doing so, I'm telling Zope that whatever it finds in myDoc.description should be interpreted according to structured text rules from markup contained within myDoc.description itself. Now how does my application know that the myDoc object has structured text stored in description? Shouldn't the object itself know that? And shouldn't the fmt specification tell how myDoc.description is to be presented instead of how it is stored? For example, let's say I can choose to store description as plain text, as structured text, or as html. Regardless of how it is stored, I might want to ask for it as: fmt=raw in case I want to edit it fmt=html in case I want to send it to a browser and so on. Here, raw and html don't describe how to interpret the contents of myDoc.description, just how to give it back. Pointers? I guess I can just fix this within my own product(s) by returning various fields in a manner something like this: Stored as STX, return as HTML return str(StructuredText.HTML(self.description)) Stored as STX, return as raw, or stored as HTML, return as HTML return self.description and so on... -- Dennis Nichols [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] AUTHENTICATED_USER (or something) making me crazy
If I inspect REQUEST by inserting a dtml-var REQUEST in my dtml I can see that AUTHENTICATED_USER is set to Anonymous User. Yet when I insert the following code, it never displays Guest. It takes the else branch and then, perversely, displays Anonymous User. Please point out my stupid mistake. dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER=='Anonymous User'" Guest dtml-else dtml-var AUTHENTICATED_USER /dtml-if Thanks. Maybe I shouldn't work on Saturdays.

[Zope] BTreeFolder (easy?) questions
1. Can I blithely use BTreeFolder in place of Folder without loss of functionality? 2. Can I successfully inherit from BTreeFolder in ZClasses (assuming that I uncomment registerBaseClass, which has been commented out in all BTreeFolder versions so far)? -- Dennis Nichols [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I'd like to structure my DTML so it is vaguely readable:
dtml-var "_['start'].strftime('%m/%d%y')"

/dtml-if--
This means inserting newlines and doing some indenting. Unfortunately,
since I'm generating plain text, the newlines and indentation count (unlike
with HTML)...
Even in HTML, the indents and newlines count by showing up as a space
before the '-' in the above example. You can fix this with good readability
simply by "delaying" the closing ''. For example,
dtml-var "_['start'].strftime('%m/%d%y')"
dtml-if "start != end"
-dtml-var "_['end'].strftime('%m/%d%y')"
/dtml-if

So:

Well, I don't know what you expect :-) When I try to save such a construct
with the handy-dandy Change button I get
