[Zope-CMF] Re: RFC: browser views and memoization
yuppie wrote:
Hi!
The skin scripts for complex forms in CMF like folder_contents are
currently big monolithic blocks of code. All the values needed in the
template are computed in a predefined order that makes sure expensive
tasks like querying the catalog or listing folder contents are performed
only once (per request).
Trying to convert this into a browser view and to split the code in
several methods I stumbled other the following issue:
If globally needed values are returned by their own method they have to
be computed again and again, although during the short live of a view
class they can be considered static.
One option would be to pre-compute those values in the __call__ method
and to store them in the view object. An other option is to cache the
results.
I ended up using this method as decorator for most methods:
def memoize(func):
memo = {}
def memoized_func(*args):
if args not in memo:
memo[args] = func(*args)
return memo[args]
return memoized_func
This would usable only if all args are hashable. Example:
{}[{1:1},]=1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in ?
TypeError: dict objects are unhashable
{}[[1],]=1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in ?
TypeError: list objects are unhashable
Are there better ways to resolve this?
Will those memo dicts be removed together with the view object or does
this create a potential memory leak? (I'm not very familiar with
decorators.)
Cheers,
Yuppie

that's pretty elegant compared to shoving a multitude of values into the
view. The closest thing to it would be a PEAK binding, but even that
can't handle the variety of situations that keing the memo by function
signature gives you. very nice.
Besides the fact it doesn't work :(
that looks safe; as far as I can tell when the decorated method is
garbage collected with the view, all refs to 'memo' should be reaped..
Digging a bit deeper it looks like decoraters are created on class
level, not on instance level. So 'memo' is not garbage collected with
the view, it's the same for all instances and grows with each request.
That's not exactly the behavior I want.
Have to think about it a bit more. Any input is welcome.
In python 2.4 you could use frozenset to have keyword support too. I
think something like this would work:
def memoize(func):
memo = {}
def memoized_func(*args, **kwargs):
sig = (args, frozenset(kwargs.items()))
if sig not in memo:
memo[sig] = func(*args, **kwargs)
return memo[sig]
return memoized_func
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. For now this is not my problem.

Re: [Zope-CMF] Re: Re: [Plone-developers] Re: Re: The components of Archetypes
Hi! Martin Aspeli wrote: Hi Alec, I see that plone_schemas covers most of what I was asking about, which is great :) I took a look at plone_schemas' example type. I can't get it to install (Zope won't start, some conflict of versions, I'm sure), but looking at the code, I notice that you - Derive from PortalContent - Define an FTI dict - Define all the DC metadata accessors manually - Define a factory method - Manually construct an FTI etc. in Install.py None of that's rocket science, but I wonder if the framework shouldn't take care of some more of that. Part of the point would be to insulate your content types from changes in the underlying stack, e.g. if/when CMF stops using the portal_types/FTI constructs, for instance. If that's starting to sound like Archetypes, though, you're right. :) So... let's think about what we really *want*: - A simple Z3 schema in an interface that defines what my content type does - A component-architecture compatible way of adding behaviour and other facets via adapters etc. - Something that works as a proper CMF and/or Plone (and/or CPS or whatever) type, that shows up in the add menu, that interacts with other Plone facilities. So - one problem is that there is a lot of Plone software out there that just assumes all content types are Archetypes. I'd rather not worry about that just yet, though, because we're not yet at the stage where we have a realistic general alternative, and with proper componentisation, fixing up those places where AT is assumed probably won't be too hard. But beyond that, CMF requires a lot of boilerplate, like above, that I'd rather not have to remember or deal with. So, what are the options? - Having the framework inject base classes and code based e.g. based on certain ZCML directives? - Using BaseContent or something similar as a base class? - Making a custom base class for plone_schemas-like content that pulls in whatever CMF needs, but insulates us from future changes? What about code generation? At least for the FTI I would like that because I see more explicitly what is used and I can change it myself afterwards. Same might also be possible with other types of boilerplate. The best way would be anyway to make the components in a way to be used with any of the above solutions. -- christian ___ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests

Martijn Faassen wrote: In an earlier thread I argued that this modified version of Five 1.2 should perhaps get a new name to indicate the additional feature. Do you all think that this would be feasible, or should we just go on with 1.2.1? If we give it a new name, the question is obviously which. 1.3 is already taken so we need some sort of suffix (a letter perhaps). Suggestions are welcome :). Ugh, soon we'll get Five 1.2-RC3-beta5-whatever. :) Hehe. Are we really sure a further Five feature release for Zope 2.8 is actually needed? What's happening with CMF and Plone in this regard? Is Plone 2.5 still targeting Zope 2.8? Yes. Is CMF? CMF 1.6 is. I hope CMF 2.0 is not. I heard some mumblings perhaps 2.9 should be targetted. But perhaps Zope 2.8 is still solidly the target. Perhaps these use cases aren't driven by Plone/CMF core and some other packages would like to use this in Zope 2.8? Can they be identified? The general use case is to stop having to put things in Products. When now writing Zope 2 software, a lot of code basically expects stuff to be in Products, Rocky's modifications make that go away and add a ZCML directive to let Zope 2 pick up packages from outside Products (so that they will still receive the same initialization features and an entry in the Control_Panel, etc.). The reason for doing so is simple: Products is bound to go away. It gives a lot of people a lot of pain. With a lot of Zope 3 technology entering many Zope 2 projects, it would be good to get a clean slate early on: put new stuff on Product-less packages. For simplicity, both for the developers using Five as well as for the developers building Five, it'd be much easier if we could simply all agree new features go into Five 1.4 for Zope 2.9. Yes. I agree. I guess the only compelling reason to backport to Five 1.2 is to make people NOT upgrade to Zope 2.9 for this particular feature (product-less packages). Then again, Zope 2.9 is stable (people don't really trust a .0 release) and we could release Five 1.4 any time after Rocky is done. So there's really no reason for people NOT to upgrade, I guess. Then again, I'm not absolutely against continuing the Five 1.2 line with new features. Me neither. How to name it is indeed tricky. Perhaps in favor of comprehensibility we just want to name it 1.2.1, even though we add new features. While we cheat and add new features to what should be a pure bugfix release, potentially destabilizing it, I think it's easier on everyone's mind not to introduce a new line of Five 1.2's with features. Yes, on second thought I agree. I also still hope that the pressure to add new features to Five 1.2 will go away very quickly. Well, in five months we can retire Five 1.0 and 1.2 for good. I do not plan to maintain Five releases any longer than their corresponding Zope releases (others are welcome to do that, of course).

For the cutting edge, Zope 2.9, that argument is slightly different. Coming at this with a zope 2 head on, it seems to me that it might be nice if I could carry on using the Products directory so that when I add new 'products', I don't have to mix them in with the core zope code in lib/python/. What do you mean by core zope code? Zope lives in SOFTWARE_HOME/lib/python, e.g. /usr/local/Zope-2.9.0/lib/python, your own python packages live in INSTANCE_HOME/lib/python, e.g. /var/zope/foobar.com/lib/python. But the separation of 'core' and 'extras' gives me a comfortable feeling. Is it just me? Am I just stuck in the past? I think you're just confusing software home vs. instance home. We're not making you put stuff into software home (although you can if you really want to... you can even put stuff into site-packages or anywhere you want as long as it's in PYTHONPATH). Plus, just the fact that stuff *being* somewhere in the PYTHONPATH doesn't mean it gets loaded. You have to add a ZCML slug to INSTANCE_HOME/etc/package-includes first. So, you could install a package globally and just make it available to certain instances by placing a slug or not. This is how package deployment works in Zope 3 and it's where we're heading with Zope 2 as well.

Telling them oh, you can just stick this on site-packages as well, or put it in INSTANCE_HOME/lib/python if you need different versions with different zope instances I think won't confuse innocent individuals. I want to identify the reasons why it is so important that this change happens with Zope 2.8. The main reason I can identify is Plone, correct? Single biggest reason is so that people developing products within the next 6-12 months can develop using this new style. Of course we can say that as a consultant we just require our clients to upgrade to Zope 2.9, but the reality is we all have plenty of clients who won't be able or willing to make the upgrade from Zope 2.8 to 2.9 especially with the leap of going from py2.3 to py2.4. This has the biggest bearing on Plone because even though Plone 2.5 will support zope 2.8 and 2.9 both (I actually tried to convince them to drop support for 2.8, but that didn't work out), the majority will use zope 2.8 -- based on experience with Plone 2.1 supporting Zope 2.7 and 2.8 where most Plone 2.1 installs still seem to use Zope 2.7. I'm not a great debater by any means so I'll finish this with one more reason as to why and make Zope 2.8 support this functionality -- because it will make my life a great deal easier :) - Rocky -- Rocky Burt ServerZen Software -- http://www.serverzen.com ServerZen Hosting -- http://www.serverzenhosting.net News About The Server -- http://www.serverzen.net ___ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests

This can hardly be considered a feature, so we should be able to sneak it into the next bugfix releases of 2.8 and 2.9. +1 I was discussing this with someone a while back asking why we shouldn't just add this directory to the standard instance structure. A lot of zope2 developers still don't realize that INSTANCE_HOME/lib/python can exist and will get used if it does exist. - Rocky -- Rocky Burt ServerZen Software -- http://www.serverzen.com ServerZen Hosting -- http://www.serverzenhosting.net News About The Server -- http://www.serverzen.net ___ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests

I've been working with Chris closely on it. In fact I added the support that allows people to write zope2 products without the toplevel Products namespace package with eggs for Basket. Its there where I discovered the more prominent area's that needed to be monkey patched and reused that knowledge when adding similar work to Five. Once everything lands in Zope 2.10, there will be no need for the monkies in Basket (or possibly even Basket itself) or this Five work. - Rocky -- Rocky Burt ServerZen Software -- http://www.serverzen.com ServerZen Hosting -- http://www.serverzenhosting.net News About The Server -- http://www.serverzen.net ___ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests
[Zope-CMF] Re: GenericSetup list property purge
Florent Guillaume wrote: I recently introduced the fact that in extension profiles list properties aren't purged by default. But really this introduces problems, as if you simply import an extension profile twice you'll get all you lists doubled. So I think I'll use the opposite semantic, closer to what was the case before: purge by default for lists even in extension profiles, except if purge=False is present on the property. I checked this in. But actually this revealed what I think is slightly unclear behaviour in the case of loading extension profiles: the extension profile can happily modify objects without them being purged, but I believe that as soon as it has to create a new object, the import context should be switched to _should_purge=True for that object and the recursion inside it. What do you think?

[Zope-CMF] Re: RFC: backporting including python-package-product support to support Zope 2.8
i'm -1 for expending extra effort to get this working on Zope 2.8. new features should arrive w/ new versions. Plone 2.5 will require CMF-1.6, which will work w/ both Z2.8 and Z2.9. those who want this feature can run Plone on Z2.9, no prob. i'd much rather see us focus our efforts on getting people migrated forward to Z2.9 than give them reason to stay on Z2.8 yet longer. it's bad enough that we have to support Z2.8 w/ Plone 2.5, let's not make it worse. -r ___ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests

Hmm... I'm not sure this is useful unless we map standard utilities to the equivalently functioning tool (which I don't think is a good idea). So if thats not the case, and developers need to learn all the new names, I'd suggest they use the standard zope3 way of looking up utilities.
