[Zope-dev] External method

2000-12-19 Thread Roch'e Compaan

This is not a strictly zope related question but it is zopeish :)

In an external method I need to call an executable and capture the output it
generates.  This executable however needs to connect to a running X Server.
I used the popen2 command but it returns with the obvious error :
"theprogram : cannot connect to X Server".  So how does one tell a program
to attach to a X server?

Any help would truly delight me

[Zope-dev] 'Subclassing' another product

2000-12-19 Thread Morten W. Petersen

I think I read somewhere that it was, from version 2.2
of Zope, possible to 'subclass' products.  Is this
just somebody janking my chain, or is it actually possible?

If it is possible, would someone care to explain?

Thanks.

Re: [Zope-dev] Loginmanager and local roles

2000-12-19 Thread Morten W. Petersen

[Morten W. Petersen]

| Any suggestions?

Found the problem.  There needs to be a method called user_names
in the acl_users folder, which returns all the user ids:

"""
paramsself/params
user_ids = self.UserSource.getPersistentItemIDs()

user_ids2 = []

for id in user_ids:
user_ids2.append(id)

return user_ids2
"""

(Can't understand why I had to use an additional list though).

Cheers.

Re: [Zope-dev] regex (or re) modules

2000-12-19 Thread Christopher Petrilli

Because both are quite capable of crashing a thread (maybe the whole thing),
with poorly written regex expressions.  Creating infinate loops is easier
than you think, esp if your regex requires backtracking to "solve".  Perhaps
there should be a simplified regex engine available, that I don't know.

[Zope-dev] Performance enhancements, ZCatalog

2000-12-19 Thread Jason Spisak

ZCatalog enthusiasts,

I just upgraded our zope installation from 2.1.6 to 2.2.4, and the ZCatalog
performance is aweful.  Can someone remind me what the command for speeding
up python on a dual processor machine is?  python -T?  I'm looking for any
way to speed this up.  I have a text index with 47,000 objects and a search
takes about 15-18 seconds, hardly what we were used to.  It used to be 2
second tops.

My company is being shopped around and if we get bought I want to convince
the new company that Zope and python and Linux are the way to go.  I need
all the help I can get.

All my best,

Jason Spisak
CIO

[Zope] [Zope-dev] [BUG] Background processes interfere with Zope's HTTP responses

2000-12-19 Thread Dieter Maurer

Today was again a hard Zope day.

Did you ever hear, that usually (i.e. if you do not do special
things) Zope renders a complete page before it starts
sending the result back to the client.
This implies that you should never see only half of a page.

I heard it and I saw the code that does it.
Therefore, I was convinced that this were really the case.

Then our client phoned:

  He visits a page that allows him to generate a
  newsletter. When he presses the "generate newsletter button",
  a result page is build that tells him that the newsletter
  is being generated and send is a few minutes.

  He reported, that this response page is build only
  half, then stops, to be completed only half a minute later,
  at the same time when the newsletter arrives.
  The effect is reproducible. If newsletter generation
  takes longer, he must wait longer for the page to complete.

  He is convinced that we generate the newsletter synchronously
  and let him wait until the generation is complete.
  And he is angry.

  I know, that the newsletter is generated in a background
  process, started in an external method with:

   os.system("gen_newsletter ")

  I try to reproduce the behaviour in our test environment
  and fail. I do not have to wait, until the newsletter
  generation finished. Then, I use the official service
  URL and see, I observe the same behaviour.
  The difference: in the test environment, the browser
  connects directly to ZServer; with the official
  URL, it connects via a proxy.

  Puzzling!


What happened?

 The background process inherits Zope's open file descriptors.
 Among them are all currently open HTTP request sockets.
 The process keeps these sockets open until it finishes.

 There are two HTTP modes:

   1. single request mode
  a new TCP connection is created for each HTTP request,
  the request is completed, when the TCP connection
  is closed.

   2. multi request mode
  several requests share a single TCP connection.
  The "Content-Length" HTTP header allows
  client and server to determine the request boundaries.

 That means: when a client uses the multi request mode,
 everything is fine. Clients, however, that use
 the single request mode wait until their connection
 is closed and can observe serious delays.

 These delays may be very difficult to explain, as
 the background process not only delays its own
 request but may delay arbitrary other requests
 that happen to be served at the same time.



How to fix the problem:

  There should be a (file) control "CloseOnExec", that tells
  Unix to automatically close the file like object upon
  an exec.
  ZServer should probably use it on each of its sockets.
  I can not see a serious application that should have
  direct access to ZServer's HTTP request socket.


I will soon file a bug report into the Collector.


Dieter

2000-12-19 Thread jimbo

  He reported, that this response page is build only
  half, then stops, to be completed only half a minute later,

Depending on how long the page is I never  see the bottom. When I use the products 
page I have to refresh 2-3 times to see the bottom part.
  This is thru a proxy only.


  I try to reproduce the behaviour in our test environment
  and fail. I do not have to wait, until the newsletter
  generation finished. Then, I use the official service
  URL and see, I observe the same behaviour.
  The difference: in the test environment, the browser
  connects directly to ZServer; with the official
  URL, it connects via a proxy.

  Puzzling!

I'm having this same sort of problem w/Zope 2.3a1.
I just started trying to use Zope through a proxy.

  If I work directly on the machine I have no problems.


How to fix the problem:

  Unix to automatically close the file like object upon

  ZServer should probably use it on each of its sockets.

[Zope-dev] A groupware package for zope

For the last couple of months I've been working on a groupware
package for Zope, named ZopeGUM.  It has reached version
0.1.63 now, and it's in steady progress.

All the planned components, like messenger, address book,
calendar, todos, etc. are there and working now; though
it's definently not ready for a production enviroment yet.

Anyways, just wanted to let you all know. (And yes, I
do appreciate feedback.  =)

Some older browsers have a limit to the amount of data they send in a
request, usually around 64k.

On the other hand, you may want to examine what is actually in the REQUEST
object. You can view the contents by including the REQUEST object in your

Re: [Zope-dev] 'Subclassing' another product

2000-12-19 Thread Steve Spicklemire


Hi Morten,


   There are two ways to subclass products. You can use straightforward
Python subclassing:

e.g.,In your custom Product.. here is an example from Zwiff:

 import Products.PythonMethod.Guarded
 
 from Globals import HTMLFile, MessageDialog
 from App import Common
 
 manage_addZwiffForm = HTMLFile('addForm',globals())
 
 def manage_addZwiff(self, id, title, params, body, REQUEST=None):
 """Add A Zwiff to a folder  just like PythonMethod.. 
 """
 it = Zwiff(id, title, params, body)
 self._setObject(id, it)
 return self.manage_main(self, REQUEST)
 
 def handleMovieOutput(movie, RESPONSE):
 
 fname = tempfile.mktemp()
 
 movie.save(fname)
 
 f = open(fname)
 s = f.read()
 f.close()
 
 RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-shockwave-flash')
 
 os.remove(fname)
 
 return s
 
 class Zwiff (Products.PythonMethod.PythonMethod.PythonMethod ):
 
 meta_type = 'Zwiff'
 
 def makeFunction(self, compile=0):
 from Products.PythonMethod.Guarded import GuardedBlock, safefuncs, theGuard
 if compile:
 self._checkCBlock(GuardedBlock)
 if self.errors:
 raise "Python Method Error", string.join(self.errors, '\n')
 return self._newfun(compile, {'$guard': theGuard},
   __builtins__=mysafebin, _=safefuncs)
 
 

So the class Zwiff is a subclass of PythonMethod. Look at Zwiff for the full
source: http://www.zope.org/Members/sspickle/Zwiff

Or you can create a ZClass that subclasses from a 'base class'. To do
this you've got to register the base class with the ZClass machinery
(e.g., here is the code for ZCVSMixin that does this  ZCVSMixin
is a base class... CVSFolder is a full blown product that happens
to be a subclass of ZCVSMixin... )

 
 
 import ZCVSMixin
 import CVSFolder
 
 __doc__ = ZCVSMixin.__doc__
 __version__ = ZCVSMixin.__version__
 
 def initialize(context):
 context.registerClass(
 CVSFolder.CVSFolder,
 constructors=(CVSFolder.manage_addCVSFolderForm,
   CVSFolder.manage_addCVSFolder),
 icon='fish.gif',
 )
 context.registerBaseClass(ZCVSMixin.ZCVSMixin)
 

does that help?

take care,
-steve
