 ZPublisher architecture to handle login forms properly won't happen until
 at least 2.2.

The backward walk stuff (which I don't think ever worked - every time
I fixed one case it seemed I'd break another) has been torn out and
replaced with code that does what you are after. Grab a copy of the
latest version and search for 'WooHoo' in GenericUserFolder.py

 Meanwhile, I suppose Ty and I should try to come up with a proposal for
 revising ZPublisher to be able to walk back on the user lookups but still
 use the login form closest to the URL being accessed.

Re: [Zope-dev] DateTime objects's and ZCatalog

2000-05-26 Thread Jason Spisak

Shane Hathaway:

 Jason,
 
 I've looked over your DTML and I can't quite get a fix on what's going
 on (then again, I'm not very familiar with dtml-calendar.)  If you'd
 send more details I might be able to help, but only in my spare time
 I'm afraid...

That's actually a very generous offer.  Thanks.  Basically I am wondering
if calling my extenal method is creating the DataTime instances or the call
to: _.int(date)/10 is?

Here's the external method:

  external method:
  
  def calendar_day(self)
  return int(self.calendar_date)/10
  

The code that really matters I guess is :

   dtml-if "_.len(Catalog(recruiter=AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName(),
  meta_types=['Interview', 'Call', 'Appointment', 'Deal'],
  calendar_day=_.int(date)/10))"

BTW, the memory issue is causing me to restart my *server* everyday.  Even
when I shut down the Zope process, the memory doesn't fall out of cache.
I'm going to make this a separate message.

Thanks again,

I'm extremely curious that the cache doesn't clear when you restart Zope.
One would normally not expect to see this.  Can you do a "ps xauww" and mail
it to me / the list?  Also a "free" would be helpful too.  Under linux,
shared memory is amongst the last to be scavenged in low memory conditions.
I'm curious to see if something is allocating that memory as shared or what.

You might also try an "ipcs -a" command to make sure it's not SYSV type
shared memory (which can stick around even after a process exits.)

You're making the assumption that unauthorized gets called.  If it doesn't
get called (because the current user *does* exist in a higher-level

[Zope-dev] Z SQL: optional isn't?

2000-05-26 Thread Kyler B. Laird


I'd like to build a Z SQL method for *many*
people to use to list courses that we offer.
I don't want to require that all queries
using it understand all of the columns, but
I do want to be able to modify the query in
many ways.

So...after reading
http://yyy.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZSQL-HTML/ZSQL.1.5.3.html
optional 

A flag indicating if the test is optional.
If the test is optional and no value is 
provided for a variable, or the value
provided is an invalid empty string, then
no text is inserted.
I thought I could just use "optional"
with all of my sqltests.
select * from course_catalog

dtml-sqlgroup where
dtml-sqltest subject type=nb optional
dtml-and
dtml-sqltest course_nbr type=nb optional
dtml-and
dtml-sqltest version type=nb optional
dtml-and
dtml-sqltest campus_code type=nb optional
/dtml-sqlgroup

This works only if I provide at least an empty
string for all values.  If I don't provide a
value at all for one of the arguments, I get
Error, Bad Request: ['version'] 

SQL used:

Could not render the query template!

[Zope] newbie question: parameter passing for ZSQL Object

2000-05-26 Thread zope

Hi.

With some values that I got from a formular, I wan't to do some calculation 
stuff, and insert the calculated values into a database.

My Z SQL method'insertItem' looks like

Arguments: param1, param2, param3, param4

INSERT INTO plan
(field1, field2, field3, field4)
VALUES
(dtml-var param1, dtml-var param2, dtml-var param3, dtml-var param4)


(parameters should be integer values)

Can anybody tell me how I can call this method and pass parameters from my 
DTML method?

With dtml-call insertItem, Zope gives me following error message:

Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.
Error Type: Bad Request
Error Value: ['param1', 'param2', 'param3', 'param4']

I was checking then "ZSQL Methods User's Guide" but, they don't  give an 
example :-(

Please help. Any idea?

Thanks, Marc.

[Zope] Passing all POST variables?

2000-05-26 Thread Andrew H. Chatham

Hello Zope-people,

I'm writing a LoginManager plugin for a quiz-taking website, and I have
cookies which expire after a manager-defined time. If someone's taking a
quiz for longer than the cookie duration and their cookie expires,
they're going to have to relogin, but I would rather not lose what data
they've entered already.  I have a separate login page so it can be
under SSL, and I adapted the given loginForm and took it's ability to
maintain GET data by passing the QUERY_STRING variable onto the
login-success page and reconstructing the URL there and redirecting to
it.

This works great, but I'd rather not limit people to passing things in
GET, for various reasons (quiz answers showing up in the browser
history, requests being too large, etc.).  But I don't know what the
variables are beforehand, so I can't just pass them along. Is there any
way to pass along all of the POSTed variables through the login page so
that I can redirect to the desired page later with the values intact? Is
this a lost cause? I don't mind if it would require Python to do it, but
is it even possible? I have no idea how to tackle that, but I didn't
even know about the QUERY_STRING variable before I saw the LoginManager
DTML, so maybe there is hope.

Of course, I'm not even sure this would even work HTML-wise, since I
don't know a way to pass GET data and do a redirect at the same time.
May not be possible (is there a workaround for that?)

Oh, and I have absolutely no opinion on Perl ;-)

Thanks,
Andrew

2000-05-26 Thread Sin Hang Kin

Oh no!!!

Zope by itself is bad enough. Do pull in more trouble.

Zope needed to clean up before it goes too  bad. Zope is powerful, but is
already too difficult for beginner to learn. It is not easy to do simple
things, I think this will destroy zope because It will bring in more
different syntax, inconsistent implementation.

Recently, there is a lots of things happening in zope, some is deeply in the
root, like security, zodb, patterns, zcatalogue.

If perl is going to be enter zope, couldnt it wait a bit after you clean up
zope a little bit. Re-write dtml syntax and make zope dtml more easy to
learn. I think that will be a bigger userbase than those perl wizzard.

[Zope] A new development model for Zope?

2000-05-26 Thread Paolo Bizzarri

Hi everybody,

I was just wondering if Zope could not get a better development model.
 I will explain briefly.

Currently, Zope seems to have a model for major releases, in which bugs
are corrected and features (possibly large features) are added in each
new release. This model, IMHO, performs poorly on the stability and bug
fixing side.

My proposal is that Zope should go through a stable/development version,
in a similar way to the linux-kernel. New heavy features should be only
for the development Zope, whereas the stable Zope should receive only
the bugfixes and the (micro) new features. This should be of major
importance, because I would like to have Zope to increase stability on
normal versions, without any further feature that I do not need.

What do you think about it ?

Re: [Zope] Help with simple dtml-if compare

2000-05-26 Thread Rik Hoekstra

snip

 
 yep.. well... this is quite a common question, all up.  It comes from people
 using shorthand, but not relaising it.  sometimes i wonder if this feature
 should be removed.
 
 the line:
 
 dtml-if "id == 'index_html'"
 
 is actually shorthand for:
 
 dtml-if expr="id == 'index_html'" 
 
 which means your expression is handled as a python expression, not a DTML
 one.  In which case, you are comparing a function object (id)  with a string
 object ('index_html').
 
 the simple fix is, of course, to 'call' the function
 
 dtml-if "id() == 'index_html'"
 
 should do what you're expecting.


Um, except that id is not always a method ;-(, hence the _['id'] idiom
(see discussion earlier this week)

Ha, "educate people"! Educate people not to use Windows? Educate them at
 least not to be beaten by ILOVEYOE virus? Anyone succeede in this educating?

A lot of people use Windows because they either aren't aware of
alternatives or don't understand the alternatives. I've shown people
alternatives to Windows, and some times it's worked, other times it
hasn't. Education done well can work wonders, but I wouldn't say it works
all the time - some people are never going to listen. :-(

The important thing, IMHO, is to make the effort to get people to
understand the philosophy behind Zope. Some people are going to ignore it
irrespective, but many could well take notice and be "saved" from doing
the wrong thing. If you don't try, those people will slip through the net
and end up charging into Zope the wrong way.

RE: [Zope] Re: [Zope-Annce] ANN: Perl For Zope - why I'm bummed

2000-05-26 Thread John Chandler

 Actually, I'd like to see Zope interface with "more" languages (Java, C++
 etc.)  There are a number of areas that Python performs poorly (I'd prefer
 to write encryption algorithms in C, personally) and there are areas where
 Python performs very well (OO modelling).  I think if people are upset that

It comes down to a combination of using the right tool for the right job
with a little bit of personal preference thrown in. Zope, through Python,
already supports C. I personally don't like C very much, but I use it and
it has certain advantages over other compiled languages - in an ideal
world I'd do compiled coding in something like Modula-2, but it just isn't
practical from a portability and support front.

 they may have to extend their knowledge base to be Zope "experts" than this
 is a little silly.  Do I have to be an Oracle/MySQL/SyBase/etc. to know
 Zope.  No - I benefit from Zope being able to handle all of these database
 sources.  If someone has written a Zope product that "works" I really don't
 care what language it's in (ok, I "do," but not entirely :).  If it's broken

Exactly :-) For me personally, the implementation language of Zope is
completely immaterial - it could be written in Cobol, Prolog or Forth but
if it does exactly what it does at the moment I would still use it and
enjoy it because it has so much power. When Simon and Chris in the office
introduced me to Zope, the internals didn't matter - there was so much
potential lurking on the outside, I just couldn't be anything but
impressed. Zope is seriously cool stuff.

I'd never touched a line of Python at the time, though I quickly learnt it
from a curiosity point of view (remember, I was/still am a Perl coder). It
wasn't useful at the time, but it has been since.

 eventually port them over if Python will make them better.  And, if not,
 there are books on Perl that would enable a relatively competent Python
 programmer to hack their way through it.

The thing is, if you are a reasonable to good programmer in one language,
there's no reason why you can't pick up another language easily - in fact,
it's very good practice to learn new languages even if you end up putting
them to one side after a few weeks/months and go back to your language of
choice.

In some ways, going from a rigid (and I mean that in a nice way, just
couldn't think of a better word) language such as Python that enforces
good programming habits will make it easier for you to be a good
programmer in a less-rigid language such as Perl. Pascal or Modula-2 to C
or C++ is a much easier transition than the other way around because
you've learnt the good programming habits from the start and have trained
your mind not to abuse the darker side of C. When people ask me what's a
good language to learn programming with, something like Python or Pascal
is usually my first answer, C isn't even though it may be in more
widespread use than Pascal.

*phew* And some people think computing is dull ;-)

[Zope] Re: monitoring Zope with daemontools

2000-05-26 Thread Frank Tegtmeyer


 I notice that your setup requires the -D switch to z2.py.  This does a 
 number of things other than preventing the controlling terminal from
 detaching.

I overlooked that. Now I got Zope running without it's process manager
so that is fully under control of daemontools.

The document at http://www.lightwerk.de/zope/monitoring is now updated.
Thanks for your feedback!

 The sad fact of the matter is that there is more concern for people's
 personal welfare, than that of the project as a whole. When in fact, what
 is good for Zope is good for the community.
 
 Zope is open source, if you don't like Perl, and it morally offends
 you, branch the code and keep your own Python-only version running. If
 you don't think this is feasible, ask yourself why, and then rethink why
 other language support in Zope is a GoodThing(tm) (TCL ? mmm acs integration)

OK, let's look at the issue of fragmentation...(this is one of my larger
concerns).

Right now DC is adamant about the being no perl products. But, as you
say, it is Open, so one can branch and fragment. Now, let's do some
math.

How much larger is the perl community; let's be honest, they are at
least an order of magnitude larger). So, let us _assume_ that as some
are predicting, we get this huge influx of perlers, and their
concomitant perl-method based apps. We are then confronted with the
situation where we have the majority of users demanding perl products,
so they can stay in the land of perl and zope. Will DC remain as strong?
Likely, IMO. But, as you say, the code is open. So, they branch the
code, and start maintaining their own. Guess what happens to the
userbase and developerbase from perl? That would be it wavig goodbye, or
perhaps thats not  awave

As I have said, I have a fair amount of confidence in DC's refusal to
include perl products. But, I also am fully aware that either they will
cave in, or their perlers we reportedly would gain would fork, and add
it on their own, thus abandoning the rest of us, and gainig us very
little, if anything in the meantime. Unless python supplants perl as the
dominant language in the world of scripting for the web, the forked
verison will always win in a marketing contest, as long as it has what
the 'Real Zope' has, nad has the perl stuff ours doesn't. In the world
of marketing, more is better. In order to avoid this, it will take
significant effort on the part of DC, and us users and developers.
Basically, python will have to be considered a 'first class' citizen (to
borrow a phrase ;-), and perl will have to remain a second-class citizen
at best, and this will have to be tactfully, yet unquestionably made
known. Can or Will this be done? I guess we will see, won't we?

These are not the fearfull meanderings of a Python Nerd, but
observations of history, and trends.

Re: [Zope] A new development model for Zope?

2000-05-26 Thread Bill Anderson

Paolo Bizzarri wrote:
 
 Hi everybody,
 
 I was just wondering if Zope could not get a better development model.
  I will explain briefly.
 
 Currently, Zope seems to have a model for major releases, in which bugs
 are corrected and features (possibly large features) are added in each
 new release. This model, IMHO, performs poorly on the stability and bug
 fixing side.
 
 My proposal is that Zope should go through a stable/development version,
 in a similar way to the linux-kernel. New heavy features should be only
 for the development Zope, whereas the stable Zope should receive only
 the bugfixes and the (micro) new features. This should be of major
 importance, because I would like to have Zope to increase stability on
 normal versions, without any further feature that I do not need.
 
 What do you think about it ?


I think we see this proposal about every three months on average. ;-)

Personally, I would like to see a patch collector, for 'unofficial
patches'. Kind of like the ac patches for linux (and now the aa and who
knows who else is doing it now).

Stuart 'Zen' Bishop wrote:
 
 I almost got around to doing this for GUF. It would involve interrogating

 One problem to be solved is that in some cases Zope will have messed
 with your form data before your code sees it (The name="myname:int"
 notation). It would be possible to handle some of these cases using
 an external method to interrogate the data type and generate the correct
 input type=hidden name="myname:int" code, but I can't see how to
 handle :record or :method etc.

Here's a very silly idea:

Could you pickle and Base64 encode the data you want to pass, and then
shove it in a single hidden control?

 Zope doesn't ship with any components written in SQL, it is probably the
 case that it won't ship with any components written in Perl.  Also, this
 is through the web style perl methods ala PythonMethods (I believe, I'm
 not on top of this project).  ALthought it may be possible, I'mguessing
 that writing a full fledged Zope product in perl would be trickier than
 it's worth.

I certainly hope so1
:-)


I echo another question: will this be a product we can choose not to
install, just as PythonMethods is?
 
 Don't worry, like Paul said, Zope has methods in many languages and more
 to come, Perl is a great step forward in telling people that we are not
 interested in excluding, but including.  Sooner or later, someone on the
 perl side is going to spend all of their effort and come up with
 something that tries to be like Zope, this is a waste of effort.  Look
 at Gnome and KDE and how they are constantly working to cross purposes,
 inventing the same interfaces at thousands of levels in subltly or
 grossly different ways.  It's actually pretty depressing when you think
 about how an unified effort would far exceed the sum of the two
 incredible efforts to date.  

Actually, there is good reason to doubt such a thing could exist. GNOME
was born in no small part due to the GNOME folks not able to get along
with (on a variety of levels)/or agree with the KDE folks. To think they
could have produced a 'better' interface in a 'unified' effort is at
best hopeful.

You're probably referring to me.  I haven't taken an active role in

(January/February), change jobs (March/April), move across the country
(April), and get settled in a new area. :-)

The zope-edu project was doing well for a while but we were unable to
define the scope of the project.  There are a lot of facets involved
and everybody was approaching it with a very different perspective. 
And nobody knew the technology well enough: it's too easy to
re-implement things in Zope that have already been done by others.  A
battle ensued over naming conventions (ZSchool? ZopeEdu? Something
else?) and the mailing list eventually reached an activity level of
zero.

We could start again with a new approach: a Wiki!  Wikis work very well
for initial designs.  We could take the good posts from pi.slcc.edu and
put them into the Wiki right away.

How many are still interested in this?

The challenge/response protocol authentication, as far as I know, is

I don't know of another browsers / ftp clients / mail clients that can

You may also have a look at

 Where do you intend on going? If there was something better out there
 you'd be humping its leg already.

   Thanks goodness, I am not using Zope on production servers. I use Zope
only to experiments and understand the technology. Looked good until
yesterday.
   On production servers I use pure Python CGIs powered by ZTemplates. I
think I can add ZPublisher and PersistentCGI without diving into full Zope.

   Of course, if perl wouldn't hurt Zope as much as I am afraid, I'll
return to considering to use Zope on production servers. (Most of my sites
are not interactive - just a "picture"; but there is one that during its
development through last year became finally highly interactive; the site
looks like first candidate for Zope and PTK and other Products).

[Zope] Use of lambda expression in DTML

2000-05-26 Thread Nick Drew


I'm a newbie zopista, and python for that matter...

In brief: I get a NameError when invoking "filter(...)" from DTML.  I thought this was 
a built-in python method, so I'm a bit puzzled.
In detail:

1) I want to display a dtml-tree of my folder hierarchy, but I want to exclude all 
Zwiki discussion groups.
2) In my index_html for the top level folder, I have the following:

dtml-tree Outline leaves=dtcTemplate 
 SPAN CLASS="tree"
  dtml-if tree-item-expanded
dtml-if expr="objectValues(['Folder'])"
IMG SRC="dtml-var BASE2/Outline/OpenBook.gif" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"
/dtml-if
STRONG
Idtml-var title/I
/STRONG
  dtml-else
dtml-if expr="objectValues(['Folder'])"
IMG SRC="dtml-var BASE2/Outline/ClosedBook.gif" ALIGN="TOP" BORDER="0"
/dtml-if
dtml-var title
  /dtml-if
 /SPAN
/dtml-tree

which is cribbed straight from QuickStart.  

3) I only want to ignore Zwiki groups, but they are out-of-the-box folders, so I can't 
filter on meta-class.  
4) My approach is just to add a property to the Zwiki folder  ('blockTreeBranching')

5) In the dtml-tree tag, I change it to:

dtml-tree 
Technical 
leaves=dtcTemplate 
branches_expr="filter( lambda f: not 
f.hasProperty('blockTreeBranching', false), objectValues(['Folder']) )"

which, all things equal, should DoTheRightThang.

6) The code can be published, but when I view it, it spits out a NameError, choking on 
"filter".  Argh.

Ideas gratefully recieved...

Re: [Zope] ZScheduler

2000-05-26 Thread Loren Stafford

Yes. The Client.py patch must be applied for any use of ZScheduler, if the
server is not listening on the default port.

"reschedule" is always called when an event is triggered, so that there is
an opportunity to reschedule or disarm the event. If "reschedule" fails (as
it will if the server is not on the default port and the patch is not
applied), the whole transaction fails.

By the way, what version of Zope are you using? I reported the bug in
version 2.1.4. I wonder (because I haven't checked yet) if it was fixed in
later versions.

[Zope] SQLSession and Memory leak

2000-05-26 Thread Hung Jung Lu

Hi,

This is just for people's information on my own experience in Zope memory 
leak. It may not reflect your personal case. But if it does, please post a 
note to the mailing list.

When there is a problem, people have to face it. I really dislike the 
attitude of people who just shrug their shoulders. I have seen this all too 
many times. Everytime I go through a problem and posted in to the mailing 
list, there are always people that try to say nonsense and refuse to accept 
that there is a problem. Guess what? Weeks later more and more people suffer 
similar problems.

By now I am very sure that a huge memory leak is coming from SQLSession. 
Remember about one or two months ago I mentioned about memory leak in Zope? 
There were so many die-hard Zope mongers that the very first thing they feel 
is their pride being hurt, and instead of looking at possible sources of the 
problem, their attitude was: it can't be, you must be doing something wrong, 
Zope has no memory leak. Now, does that attitude help to find the source of 
the problem???! Perl mongers are bad enough, and now we have Zope mongers.

The thing is, no one would complain about memory leak if there is no 
performance impact. When someone complains about memory leak, it's because 
the performance is getting to be unbearable.

After using SQLSession with two different databases (Gadfly and Sybase), and 
after the problem persisted, and after using manage_debug in Control Panel, 
I have decided that enough is enough. I implemented my own RAM-based Session 
Management.

And it's been about a month now. No more memory leak. Zope memory usage 
stayed nice and low. Performance improved substantially to the amazement of 
everyone. No more need to re-start Zope to bring the memory down.

There are hundreds of people out there using SQLSession. I know for fact 
that someone using SQLSession has actually written a Unix cron job to 
restart Zope every night in order to keep the memory usage down. (Of course, 
the person does not know the memory leak is coming from SQLSession.)

From the manage_debug screen, it seems that the leak has something to do 
with the SQLSession inheriting from Implicit class. I don't remember much 
anymore (since I got rid of SQLSession already a while ago.) I just remember 
the keyword "Implicit" showing up in the objects in the manage_debug screen.

All I know is that after I stop using SQLSession (mainly with Gadfly, which 
was a temporary solution anyway), my problems stopped.

Hung Jung

Hung, if you recall, there were lots of people who when someone
mentioned a memory leak, looked at their process and misinterpreted the
threads' RAM reports. To be honest, it is exceedingly difficult to track
down memory leaks when you get an abundance of misinformation (I know,
not intentional, but is still makes it hard). Memory leaks are of prime
concern to me, as I have mentioned. I apologize if I came of as being
someone who thought there was _no_ memory leak, I just needed accurate
info to help. We were getting an increasing number of people who
suddenly thought they had memory leaks because of the way Linux reports
threads. Information like you have just provided (that you tracked it
down to SQLSession) is very useful, thanks for providing it. Though not
the maintainer, I will look into it.

 There are hundreds of people out there using SQLSession. I know for fact
 that someone using SQLSession has actually written a Unix cron job to
 restart Zope every night in order to keep the memory usage down. (Of course,
 the person does not know the memory leak is coming from SQLSession.)


Why not help them out and let them know? ;-)
I believe you can switch from SQLSession to FSSEssion with little, if
any DTML changes.
 
 From the manage_debug screen, it seems that the leak has something to do
 with the SQLSession inheriting from Implicit class. I don't remember much

To be fair, Hung, SQLSession is not Zope, it is a third party product.
I would also send the information to the maintainer of SQLSession, so
he/she can be aware of it.

Re: [Zope] A new development model for Zope?

 Hi Zopers,
 
   My proposal is that Zope should go through a stable/development version,
   in a similar way to the linux-kernel. New heavy features should be only
   for the development Zope, whereas the stable Zope should receive only
   the bugfixes and the (micro) new features. This should be of major
   importance, because I would like to have Zope to increase stability on
   normal versions, without any further feature that I do not need.
  
   What do you think about it ?
 
  I think we see this proposal about every three months on average. ;-)
 
 
 Well, perhaps I got my eyes too much closed... :=(

Fear not, I happen to like the proposal myself.


  Personally, I would like to see a patch collector, for 'unofficial
  patches'. Kind of like the ac patches for linux (and now the aa and who
  knows who else is doing it now).
 
 Exactly. For example, here two simple patches that should be collected and
 posted toward 2.1.6:
 
 - patch for renaming single objects (something I have seen in the new
 2.2.0a version);
 
 - patch for the REQUEST object problem
 
 What do you think about it ?

 Well, unless anyone has any serious objections (or DC can pull it off
soon), I can implement a site for this.

 On that note, I am now accepting suggestions and requests on it. ;-)

I'll second that.

And it works just as nicely on Windoze as it does on *NIX.  If you you're

well-commented.  I don't have any special syntax stuff for dtml, but find

the standard html highting works just fine.

If you haven't dealt with vi before, you'll find the learing curve a bit
steep, but you'll _love_ it when you get the hang of it.  And if you come
from a GUI world, gvim gives you all the little niceites you're used to,
like cut  paste, scroll bars, mouse-based highlighting and that sort of

Re: [Zope] ANN: Perl For Zope

Bring on the paranoia people! Microsoft _invests_ in ActiveState. ActiveState
originally started with a Win32 port of Perl, together with support packages
for Perl on Win32 platforms. And commercial development tools, like a visual
debugger, and special versions of Perl that plug into IIS and the
ActiveScripting platform.

At IPC8 this January, they announced they were extending their services to
Python as well. This means that ActiveState now also does Python for Win32,
with all extensions, support, and commercial products they do for Perl as
well.

It's what they are good at. No wonder Microsoft invests in ActiveState,
because Microsoft wants Win32 to be a strong development platform.

Now, for all of you who are worried about M$ domination, ActiveState only just
announced that they'll be adding support for Perl and Python to Mozilla, not
just on win32, but, IIRC, all platforms where both Mozilla and the scripting
languages in question run. And they'll throw in an IDE built on Mozilla as
well, which will therefor run on all platforms Mozilla can run on.

And there was much rejoicing.

 Well, I think I can comment on som eof teh 'revulsion' of many of the

 'gargabe'. TO compare the two communities, you start with how they act/
 do not act as one. First place to look: usenet, the sewer. In c.l.perl,
 any mention of non-perl, or anything less than absolute praise for perl,
 will land you in a flame war the likes or which satan himself wears
 asbestos clothing for (and if you mention python, satan bows out due to
 heat). I have seen people _try_ to start flame wars on c.l.py, and fail
 99% of the time. I have only once seen something close to a flame war on
 c.l.py in many years. And in that was due in a large part to the other
 person in it (those who witnessed it now who I am speaking of).

The fallacy here is simply that Zope is adding a language, not a newsgroup.
There are people who code Perl, Python and Zope every day and don't know,
care about, read or post to comp.lang.anything.  Bajillions of them in
fact - a healthy majority.  The decision whether to add a language should
NOT be made on the basis of what a few Usenet addicts think.  It should be
made on the basis (among others) of whether it adds desirable functionality
and "marketability" (for profit or otherwise) without fatally complicating
the product.  I think Perl methods will be very popular and not particularly
difficult to maintain as a Zope feature, although I do anticipate some
complications down the road as new Zope, Python and Perl releases see the
light of day and have to co-exist on various platforms.

 I can pretty much gaurantee that oce we start getting perl people on the
 list, doing stuff in perl, the following scenario will occur repeatedly:

 "I want to do this, how do I do it?"
  "like this...python code"
 "I don;t want to use python, I want to use the all cool lnaguage of
 perl"
  "Sorry, can't help you" ...

Actually what will probably happen is that someone will ask

"I want to do this, how do I do it"

and one or more Python enthusiasts will say "like this... python code"
and one or more Perl enthusiasts will SIMULTANEOUSLY say "like this... perl
code"
and the user will pick what suits them, and get back to work.

Only the professional arguers will have the time to fight over this stuff.

Yes. The Client.py patch must be applied for any use of ZScheduler, if the

The default port in Zope is 8080, whereas I recall seeing the bug
applies if not on 80.


"reschedule" is always called when an event is triggered, so that there is
an opportunity to reschedule or disarm the event. If "reschedule" fails (as
it will if the server is not on the default port and the patch is not
applied), the whole transaction fails.

Except that I scheduled a non-smtp event which worked fine without the
patch.


By the way, what version of Zope are you using? I reported the bug in
version 2.1.4. I wonder (because I haven't checked yet) if it was fixed in
later versions.

Well, it's clear I need to install this patch and try again.  I'm using
2.1.4.

 Well... I think that it's probably the shortest route to a functioning
 zope archive to use mailman-  already written in python, and modular
 enough that we should be able to take it one step at a time.

In browsing the MailMan lists, I recall reading about someone
setting up an archiver script that received each mail message
and saved it into Zope via WebDAV, so each msg became a document.
I didn't save the link, but that might be the *fastest* way to
get started with archiving (and potentially indexing, etc) mail
in Zope:

 - script (in Python, of course!) receives mail, or add to Mailman
 - script talks WebDAV, and saves it into a folder (or
   subfolder by-date?) in Zope
 - this becomes a DTML document -- I don't know enoug Zope
   yet to know if this could be a customized/subclassed DTML
   doc that was smart enough to parse RFC822, save
   fielded and raw search info into ZCatalog, etc).
 - everything Zope can do with a collection of items is yours!

This sounded cool to me...  Anyone going to try?


Not me. I just wanted to add that imho saving an rfc822 object (using the
standard python module) might not be a bad idea. I used it for a product
(using bobo that was, I changed it after ZOpe came) that eats a Netscape
inbox, by way of a maillists digest.

And what about an XML derivative of the rfc822?

For security reasons, Zope are removed all builtin-functions from

Most of the time, I am not at all concerned with the internals
of software products. Be they implemented in C, assembler, Perl or
whatsoever. Think of compilers, operating systems, databases.

I treat these products as black boxes. If they fail, I look
for upgrades, write a bug report, request technical support.
If this does not lead to a solution, I look for workarounds.
If this proves impossible, a replacement/correction/reimplementation
may get a try provided this is sufficiently important for the
paying customer.

I do not see, why this should be different with Zope products --
provided, they have a clear interface (should be not a big
problem, if they can be called via HTTP), a decent documentation
and they do what the documentations promisses.
and about the costs to try to fix the situation myself.

  Mostly this is a concern for individual sites to decide whether they want
  to risk contamination or not and it's certainly an option they _should_
  have, but I'd like to ask that once Perl methods are out there that the
  products downloadable from the zope site be split into those that are
  "pure" python and dtml versus those that have other types of methods
  in them.
I think, this is important mainly for experimental software.
For field proved products, an indication of the implementation
language may improve trust that in case of problems,
I can more easily fix it.
If, however, the product is sufficiently complex, understanding
the product is much more difficult than learning the implementation
language (e.g. a C++ compiler versus the C implementation language).
