[Zope-dev] DateTime, strftime and TimeError
Hi all,
I think its known that using strftime method of DateTime module with
dates = 1900 or = 2038, a TimeError is raised. For instance:
d = DateTime('2045/30/01')
d.strftime('%d/%m/%Y')
DateTime.DateTime.TimeError: The time 2369343600.00 is beyond the
range of this Python implementation
I've read that the reason was a validation to avoid int overflows. I
think this could be fixed using datetime module (new in python 2.3)
instead of old time.localtime
Do you think its a good idea ? Can I provide a patch that way ?
Thanks
Santi Camps

Yes, I know, but displaying them through a datetime.datetime object the display can also work fine. That's my proposal.

I have no idea how to patch tings with LeakFinder to find your problems because LeakFinder, albeit a great piece of code, attempts an incredibly difficult task. Most likely, your memory leaks is due to an assignment of really large lists on complex objects (eg. more complex than strings or numbers). Can you expound on this a little as this sounds very interesting? Why do assignments to a list normally result in leaks? Do you mean lists of complex objects or complex objects that have lists? Look for any constructs where you extract large lists and do operations on them. Once you have, if you ever, contain these, return to the mailing list and we can try to solve it together. I certainly do operations on lists, partucularly LazyMap etc. I do operations with catalog results and map them to lazily to custom objects which are joined by aquisition to catalog brains. I'm new to memory leak debugging in python but have done it before in java. From what I understand garbage collection happens differently in java.

[Zope] LDAPUserFolder and roles/groups assignment Problem
Hi , I've instantiated a Group User Folder object for my Zope+Plone application and configured it to take users from an LDAP server in order to get users id and passwords validated against LDAP. So far, so good users can log in using their LDAP credentials. The underlying users source is a LDAPUserFolder. I have configured it so that the groups are not stored on LDAP. Consequently the groups' source is default UserFolder.I have also configured Anonymous,Member as default roles to LDAP users. I'm using ZOPE (ver.Zope 2.7.5-final, python 2.3.5, linux2) and Plone (2.0.4.3)with GRUF version: 3.1.1 and LDAPUserFolder 2.4 on Debian box. All except LDAPUserFolder installed from debian packages. I have encountered problems with assigning other roles to users. When I enter acl_users/Users tab of my Plone site check one of the users and the role I want to assign, confirm it I get the following error: Site error: This site encountered an error trying to fulfill your request.

[Zope] How to find out the full URL
I have a page template, say 'products.pt', which takes traverse_subpath[0] as one of the variables, so e.g. the URL: http://myserver/products/100 will actually call products.pt, which get 100 from the URL and displays it in the template. Now my question is how can I get the full URL from within the tempalte 'products.pt'? If I use 'request/URL' it will show 'http://myserver/products' only, with the subpath somehow dropped. How can I get the '/100' part back? Ideally, I'd like to get back the whole URL as entered in the browser as a string. From the REQUEST I have to put together URL and QUERY_STRING, and the section (#xxx) part of the url can not be found in REQUEST. Thanks for helping.

If it allows _filenames, perhaps you can stead something from there. --jcc -- Building Websites with Plone http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ ___ 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] How to make a ZPT-based form that calls itself?
Hi Zopers -
I'm trying to make a ZPT-based HTML form that:
1. Displays the records in a MySQL 'Person' table;
2. Offers a field for updating this table (in my simple test example, it
accepts the Id of a Person to delete);
3. When you push its 'Submit' button, updates the database; and then
4. Automatically redisplays itself, showing the updated 'Person' records.
After a lot of help from the folks on various Zope lists, I've made it
through steps 1-3, but I'm stuck on step 4 and I can't find an example or
tutorial telling me how to do it.
The relevant code snippets are:
The ZPT's body...

Re: [Zope] How to find out the full URL
Hong Yuan wrote: I have a page template, say 'products.pt', which takes traverse_subpath[0] as one of the variables, so e.g. the URL: http://myserver/products/100 will actually call products.pt, which get 100 from the URL and displays it in the template. Now my question is how can I get the full URL from within the tempalte 'products.pt'? If I use 'request/URL' it will show 'http://myserver/products' only, with the subpath somehow dropped. How can I get the '/100' part back? If you simply print the request object, you'll see everything available. The CGI environment variables are available: http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html You can use ACTUAL_URL or URL0 to get the full url+path. You can use PATH_TRANSLATED or PATH_INFO to get just the path portion. You can use QUERY_STRING to get the query string. Ideally, I'd like to get back the whole URL as entered in the browser as a string. From the REQUEST I have to put together URL and QUERY_STRING, and the section (#xxx) part of the url can not be found in REQUEST. Unfortunately the CGI vars don't make provision for the anchor component or the whole unaltered URL.

You submit to a script, going that url, and the script is responsible
for providing the output of the page.
Since you write no output, you see no action in your browser. Some
browsers may display a blank page, which probably would have been more
helpful to you.
You want your script to do something. It might print out some text to
form HTML, but that's nasty. It usually will either (a) call some other
object, like a page template, to provide output, or (b) do a redirect.
Case A:
return context.some_page()
Case B:
context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect('some_page')
In your case, since this is a destructive method, you probably want do a
redirect, back to your listing.
A more advanced and flexible technique is to use FormController. With
that, you specify by configuration if you want redirect or traverse and
where to go based on the results of the script (success, failure, some
other state.)

Of course it didn't, there's no object called deltest and the object
that's not there certainly doesn't have a method called htm. Think
about Python syntax - the . delimits a class containment hierarchy.
Zope allows you to have the . in object names, which I disagree with,
so you have to use getattr(context, 'deltext.htm')() to get the actual
object.

but, who cares?
Look at your Python. It understands a dot as an attribute access. That's
why Zope historically avoids dotted object names. Witness 'index_html'.
You may use dictionary lookup:
context['deltest.htm']()
or getattr.
In your case, since this is a destructive method, you probably want do a
redirect, back to your listing.
Destructive means that the script has a side-effect (deleting the Person),
right?
Correct.
Why in that case is a redirect better?
Because you don't end up on the script (no bad bookmark), and reload of
that page won't carry the previous POST payload. See the very recent
post about redirect-after-post.
A more advanced and flexible technique is to use FormController. With
that, you specify by configuration if you want redirect or traverse and
where to go based on the results of the script (success, failure, some

A Plone site it a superset of a CMF site. But it you're outside a CMF

a tool. Dunno if it'll install standalone.

[Zope] Running out of sockets
Coming out of lurk mode here with a really tricky one. We had just moved our server from: Zope Version (unreleased version, python 2.3.3, linux2) Python Version 2.3.3 (#2, Feb 21 2004, 21:17:53) [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] To: Zope Version (Zope 2.7.5-1.fc3, python 2.3.4, linux2) Python Version 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 2 2005, 11:44:49) [GCC 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)] The first thing we noticed was: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /xp/pub/topp/invest/. Reason: Error reading from remote server Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at www.foo.bar Port 80 ( We are running a homegrown virtual host product very similar to the virtual host monster behind apache via rewrites. No ZEO.) This seems to corespond to a lot of: PROBLEM(100) ZServer warning: server accept() threw an exception in the log. Restarting zope has fixed it for now, but lsof -a -U -uzope and lsof -uzope | wc -l Shows the number of open sockets steadily growing, and apparently none closing.. We have not seen the Proxy Error again yet, but it seems pretty certain sockets will run out at some point. What to do? Where to dig? I have found quite a number of references to similar problems by googling parts of this, but nothing leading me closer to figuring it out. ulimit -a shows the limit is 1024 ( at 1004 now everything seems fine except the occasional PROBLEM(100) XPTopic seemingly unrelated, not accept() ) netstat -axp gives me loads of lines like this: unix 2 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 2792969 572/python We have tried various combinations for config options, but without any luck: force-connection-close on did not seem to make any difference max-listen-sockets 500 did not keep lsof -a -U -uzope | wc -l from exceeding 500. maximum-number-of-session-objects 1 session-timeout-minutes 90 This should not be related no? I realize this is becoming a very rambling question, I just thought I would include as much info as possible right away :) Regards Gaute Amundsen ___ 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 )
Re: [Zope] How to make a ZPT-based form that calls itself?

Witness 'index_html'. You may use dictionary lookup: context['deltest.htm']() or getattr. But note that they're not semantically equivalent. getattr(foo, 'bar') might use acquisition to find 'bar'. foo['bar'] does not use acquisition, it only looks directly in foo. I don't like this difference, but, whatever. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com ___ 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 )
