[Zope] Allow import of whole filesystem class hierarchy?
My company has a Zope server that has no editing rights for external persons - only employees have management permissions. We also have a company-specific hierarchy of several hundred Python modules that I'd like to access from Zope. Rather than modifying each and every module as per the instructions in the Security chapter of the ZDG, is there a way to say allow the import of any module inside this part of $PYTHONPATH? Oh, for those curious: part of the reason for moving code from Zope Python scripts and into filesystem code is that my company has officially adopted Python as our new development platform for new projects. I'm cranking out thousands of lines of code, and the Windows guys are tweaking it to run under IronPython. The end goal is to have a library of code that runs under Unix, Windows, Mac, or wherever else we might want to explore, and then to write frontends to that library in whatever seems appropriate to the task. For example, new web apps will be written with Zope calling those modules. New GUI apps will be written with Visual Studio calling those modules. Yay Zope and Python! You're what broke us away from vendor lock-in! -- Kirk Strauser Daycos ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Before I start on such an adventure, what is the Python/Zope term for what I'm trying to do, specifically to allow the import of an entire module, including classes inside it, and methods inside those classes' objects? However, your *best* bet is to implement your Zope applications as filesystem-based products, rather than in untrusted code (Python scripts). At that point, the modules are easily importable. Maybe so, but I'm not looking forward to re-writing several years worth of production code. I was really hoping for a simple switch that told Zope to blanketly let me use a module and its contents. I'm still somewhat in disbelief that it's not there. -- Kirk Strauser Daycos ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

[Zope] Wrong time displayed on events
I've just installed Plone 2.5.1 on Zope 2.9.6 running on FreeBSD 6-STABLE. On my newly created Plone site, whenever I add an event, it's displayed with the wrong time. For instanced, if I create one that runs between 2006-12-05 19:30 and 22:00, it gets rendered like: (span class=locationSome Event/span, from abbr class=dtstart title=2006-12-05 19:30:002006-12-05 13:30/abbr to abbr class=dtend title=2006-12-05 22:00:002006-12-05 16:00/abbr) The server and I live in the CST time zone, which accounts for the 6-hour offset (as though I entered the time in UTC and it's converting it to CST for display). But since I never entered a timezone anywhere, why's it doing any conversion at all instead of just assuming that all times entered are local to the server? Is there a way to fix this, other than deliberately entering all times for events six hours too late, and letting Plone fix the display? -- Kirk Strauser Daycos ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Sending the Content-Length header fixed the problem. PDFs now appear

[Zope] Some users can't view sent PDFs anymore
Since upgrading from Zope 2.8.something to 2.9.3, many of our customers
can no longer view PDFs that we send them. If they're using Internet
Explorer, they often get a blank page when trying to view them (and we
haven't been able to nail down the exact combination of Windows + IE +
Acrobat that causes the problem).
Here's the Python script we use to send the files:
## Script (Python) download
##bind container=container
##bind context=context
##bind namespace=
##bind script=script
##bind subpath=traverse_subpath
##parameters=filename,password=None,skipctypeheader=None
##title=
##
request = container.REQUEST
RESPONSE = request.RESPONSE
stockexception = 'FileUnavailableError'
# Does the file exist?
if not filename in context.files.objectIds():
raise stockexception
file = context.files[filename]
# Does the given password match the one on the file?
if file.getProperty('password', d=None) != password:
raise stockexception
if not skipctypeheader:
# Set the content type if one is defined for the file
ctype = file.getProperty('content_type', d=None)
if ctype:
RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', ctype)
RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'inline; filename=%s' % filename)
return context.files[filename]
Here's the output of running 'curl' to fetch one:

I feel kind of sheepish about blaming Zope, but everything worked perfectly
one day, I did the upgrade that night, and the complaints started rolling
in the next morning.
If nothing else, would some IE users be kind enough to try to view this
tiny PDF and see whether it opens inline or externally, and whether it
displays actual content (the phrase This is a test.) or a blank page:

[Zope] Content-Disposition is driving me batty
I have a Python script that transmits a file to the user. An excerpt:

ctype = file.getProperty('content_type', d=None)

from Zope 2.8.something to 2.9.3 (on FreeBSD via ports), IE users can
only sometimes get the file - they otherwise get a blank page.

[Zope] Is ExtFile right for me?
My Zope site generates many reports in PDF format, and stores them in a folder that's only accessible to customers via a password-protected form. I currently store each report's password as a property of its File object. My problem is that I'm creating several hundred megabyte-sized file objects in my ZODB each day, and even though I expire them after five days the performance hit when storing and fetching the files is painful. I think, then, that I should be looking at an external filesystem store. LocalFS looks very nice, but it doesn't seem to support properties (which I currently need). ExtFile looks very nice and does support properties, and that's the way I'm heading. Does that seem reasonable given my usage? Also, I'm currently inserting the file uploads into a folder named files (ain't I creative?) with this method call: context.files.manage_addFile(id=filename, file=filecontents, content_type=filetype) I tried what I thought would be the ExtFile equivalent: context.files.manage_addProduct['ExtFile'].manage_addExtFile(id=filename, file=filecontents, content_type=filetype) but that only dumps the contents of the file to the client and doesn't actually store that data. Clients see a long page of gibberish like: Shipment Search | View Selected Images %PDF-1.2 %âãÏÓ 1 0 obj /Type /Catalog /Pages 3 0 R endobj 2 0 obj /CreationDate (D:20060410110742) /ModDate (D:20060410110742) /Producer (libtiff / tiff2pdf - 20060313 / d) endobj 3 0 obj /Type /Pages /Kids [ 4 0 R 9 0 R ] /Count 2 endobj 4 0 obj /Type /Page /Parent 3 0 R /MediaBox [0. 0. 608.2560 792.] /Contents 5 0 R /Resources /XObject /Im1 7 0 R /ProcSet [ /ImageB ] endobj 5 0 obj /Length 6 0 R stream q 608.2560 0. 0. 792. 0. 0. cm /Im1 Do Q endstream endobj 6 0 obj 62 endobj 7 0 obj /Length 8 0 R /Type /XObject /Subtype In other words, the normal page header, plus the raw data.

As long as the file specified in contents is short (7843 bytes or less), the form section of the formatted request object looks like: form username 'something' password 'password obscured' contents ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 0x91307ec cookies ... As soon as the length of the submission crosses the 7843 byte barrier, though, it becomes empty: form cookies ... I can't figure out what's going on. In zope.conf, cgi-maxlen is unset (and therefore should default to zero). http-header-max-length defaults to 8192, which is pretty close to 7843 plus a little overhead, but the problem remained even after I increased that value to 32768.

[Zope] Confusing DateTime().strftime behavior
I'm upgrading our server from a FoxPro backend to PostgreSQL, using the Psycopg connector. My problem is that the old database returned timestamps as a %m/%d/%Y-formatted string, while Psycopg returns a DateTime object (I'm using the internal module, not mxDateTime). Whenever I use strftime to format the object for display, I get the previous day's date instead. I've found several references to this problem in Google, but no one seems to have found a good solution.

[Zope] Same product in multiple instances automatically?
I'm running multiple instances of Zope 2.7.7 on a FreeBSD server. Each of those instances uses the same products, which I handle by making symlinks from the site's Products directory to that instance's Products directory: [1] /usr/local/www/Zope/Products/ZPsycopgDA [2] /usr/local/www/Zope/Products/exUserFolder /usr/local/www/Zope/instance1/Products/ZPsycopgDA - [1] /usr/local/www/Zope/instance1/Products/exUserFolder - [2] /usr/local/www/Zope/instance2/Products/ZPsycopgDA - [1] /usr/local/www/Zope/instance2/Products/exUserFolder - [2] ... To be honest, I'd expect something a little different, namely that each instance would automatically pull in all the products in the site installation (like [1] and [2] above), but that doesn't seem to be the case. Is that a configuration issue, by design, or by accident? It's not that I mind making a symlink here or there, but it's one more thing to remember when making a new instance and just feels wrong. -- Kirk Strauser The Day Companies ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Is that a configuration issue, by design, or by accident? It's a configuration issue. Check out the products directive in zope.conf. The one that says: The master Products directory exists in Zope's software home, and cannot be removed from the products path (and should not be added to it here). ? That seemed to me that I shouldn't be adding /usr/local/www/Zope/Products to the search path, although I'm unsure of the reasons. -- Kirk Strauser The Day Companies ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

That simply says that there is a default Products directory ($SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python/Products), you can't get rid of it, and you shouldn't try to configure it here. The problem I'm having, though, is that those products don't seem to be present in instances by default, which is the opposite of what I'd expect. For example, I'd think that ZPsycopgDA would be available inside each instance since it's present in $ZOPE/Products. If you want your instances to use Products from some other directory, name it here. Yep. I'm wondering if I should create a $ZOPE/CommonProducts directory and add products $ZOPE/CommonProducts to every instance's zope.conf. -- Kirk Strauser The Day Companies ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

You can see this quite easily by looking at the /Control_Panel/Products of an instance with nothing in its $INSTANCE_HOME/Products. I'm not sure what you mean by $ZOPE/Products. OH! I see what you mean. $ZOPE is defined in $INSTANCE/etc/zope.conf. In my case, it's set to /usr/local/www/Zope, and there's a Products directory inside it. FreeBSD installs new products to that directory. I hadn't noticed that there was also a /usr/local/www/Zope/lib/python/Products directory with different contents. Problem solved, although I'm not sure why /usr/local/www/Zope/Products exists in the first place; maybe it was meant to be a symlink to ./lib/python/Products? Anyway, I think I can figure it out from here.

Everything needed to run Zope goes into the SOFTWARE_HOME; everything that defines a specific distinct instance goes into INSTANCE_HOME (3rd party Products, Data.fs, config files, logs, etc). ...and on FreeBSD, everything you install through the ports system gets put in a second directory inside SOFTWARE_HOME, distinct from the ones in INSTANCE_HOME, and is not included in running instances by default (regardless of what the 00readme-freebsd.txt in that directory says). In other words, it seems to be a FreeBSD bug rather than a Zope bug, and I'm off to file a problem report so that it'll hopefully get fixed.

[Zope] Apache proxying multiple instances in subdirectories?
Until yesterday, I'd been running one instance of Zope behind an Apache 2
proxy on a server, and I'd set up zope.mydomain to access the
management interface using this clause:
VirtualHost *:80
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/htdocs/
ServerName zope.example.com
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/zope.example.com-access_log combined
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/zope.example.com:80/VirtualHostRoot/$1
[P]
/VirtualHost
When I visit http://zope.example.com/manage, I get the ZMI page as
desired. So far so good. However, I recently added a second Zope
instance to that server, and now would like to remotely manage them using
URLs like http://zope.example.com/instance1/manage . For the life of me,
I can't figure out how to change the RewriteRule to point to a subdirectory
on the zope.example.com site. I know this should be easy, but I'm just not
getting it. Any ideas?

[Zope] Sending mail with attachments via Python
I'm currently trying to replace a bit of DTML with a Python script. Here's what I currently have: dtml-sendmail mailhost=outboundserver To: dtml-var recipientemail From: dtml-var senderemail Subject: dtml-var subject dtml-mime type=text/plain encode=7bit Attention dtml-var recipientname: This file was sent to you from the Foo Company web site. The sender included this message: dtml-var emailbody dtml-boundary type=application/octet-stream disposition=attachment encode=base64 filename_expr=filenamedtml-var expr=publicstore.download(filename=filename,password=password,skipctypeheader=1)/dtml-mime /dtml-sendmail Basically, it fetches a file from a public download directory, encodes it as a MIME attachment, and sends the works to the specified recipient. Now, the documentation on sending a normal text email is easy enough to find, but from Googling around for more advanced docs it seems like I'm the only person to ever want to do this. Are there any examples for this sort of thing lying around that I somehow managed not to find?

That's what I was afraid of. I love Zope and Python (and am getting ready to write a magazine article about the two) but jumping through Pythonic hoops to do stuff that would be easy in DTML drives me nuts. Thanks for the pointer, though.

No. I have it in DTML and want to re-write it in Python without involving External Methods or other hackery. Then why change it? It works, right? For certain values of works, sure. The problem I'm trying to solve is that the body of the email needs to become more complex than I'm willing to handle with DTML. The natural next step for me was to look into rewriting the whole mail-sending object in Python, but I didn't expect that I'd have to reimplement the functionality of DTML to do it. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not complaining, and if that's what I've got to do then so be it.

I guess I should've prefaced my question by saying that I know on-error normally ends propagation of the exception.
