Yeah, that's just me. I don't support Windows in any way. However, MySQLdb
does work there, so I am told. If you can't get it to compile or
something, I can't help you.

[Zope] Zope culture (Was: [Zope] Simple DTML date-stamp)

2000-08-14 Thread William BC Crandall

Hello Chris, 

Thanks for the historical pointer.

Also explains why 'Add Z Gadfly Database Connection'
pops up a strange sounding comment for new Zopers:

Additional data sources may be created by making 
additional directories in the var/gadfly subdirectory 
of your Principia installation. 
^

Another question of 'Zope Culture': Is the anti Win98 feeling 
I get an accurate assessment of the Zopista community?

I've been having more than a little difficulty installing 
MySQL-Zope tools on Win98 ('ZMySQLDA on Win32'). Only one 
person (Phil Harris) has been willing to answer questions.

But the mailing list, by volume and quality, gives clear 
evidence of an active and intelligent Zope community.

Andy Dustman's documentation for what seems like a nice 
MySQL interface puts it clearly:

PWindows is EMnot/EM a supported platform. 

I currently function in two worlds, Win98 and Linux.
Would I be right to say that 90% of Zopers live in world
number two?

Regards,

Not so much the Zope community as anyone who runs servers IMHO :S

Maybe he's tried it, I know i haven't...

Thanks, on their behalf ;-)

I dunno. Lots of Linux yes, but a lot of other *nix too and at least a
proportion of WinNT and 2K.

cheers,

Chris

Why not set up a Poll on zope.org to find out about these things.
Like a weekly poll.
Here - DC - are some other questions I can consider to participate in:
- What platform do you use for your Zope?
- Do you use Apache (ZAP) infront of your Zserver?
- Are you subscribing to the mailing list?
- Do you check the mailing list archive before you post to the mailninglist?
- Are you webmaster of the server you run Zope on?
-
-

This would also make people go back to zope.org more often, and all its
benefits.
Count me in for help!

Most of Zope (and python in general) is shockingly platform-neutral.

It sounds like the same might not be true of MySQL.
