[Zope-Annce] Silva 1.5 beta 1 released

2006-01-19 Thread Martijn Faassen

Silva 1.5 beta 1 released

19 january 2005 – Infrae has just released version 1.5 beta of the Silva 
content management system.


This is a beta release for public testing. Please let us know about any 
problems!


Silva 1.5 is the first Silva release that really starts using Zope 3 
technology in the core, and is the first step in a longer evolution. It 
does not have a lot of externally visible feature changes, but focuses 
on making Silva work with Zope 2.8 and Five 1.2.


Some of the changes:

* Silva now uses Zope 3 interfaces. SilvaLayout (to be released) does
  not have to create Zope 3 marker interfaces anymore.

* Silva now uses the Five/Zope 3 i18n architecture.
  PlacelessTranslationService is not in use anymore.

* Use Zope 2.8 style ZODB transactions.

* Some view code has been converted to be based on Zope 3 views.

* Some adapters have been converted to be true Zope 3 adapters.

See doc/developer_changes.txt in the Silva core package for more details 
about these changes. And of course a lot of bugs have been squashed: see 
HISTORY.txt in the package for complete details.


What is Silva?

Silva is an enterprise-class CMS for managing content for the web, 
print, and other media. Content is stored in clean and future-proof XML, 
independent of layout and presentation. Features include a multi-version 
workflow system, XSLT rendering support, integral WYSIWYG editor (Kupu), 
content reuse in multiple publications, sophisticated access management, 
extensive import/export facilities, fine-grained templating, and hi-res 
image storage and manipulation. Silva is entirely open source.


For more complete information, see the Silva Product Pages at 
http://www.infrae.com/products/silva.


Download

The package can be downloaded from http://www.infrae.com/download/Silva/.

I'm an egg neophyte, but I believe you can put an egg in dev mode (or 
whatever it's called) and you'll get a subversion (or cvs) checkout. 
You can then make your changes, etc.

I beliave that Eggs have a development mode in which you can work on the source.
This apears to be easy to switch too, perhaps easier than editing externals.
I haven't gotten to try this myself.  We'll see as we learn more about eggs.
I'm at least as lazy as you are, so rest assured, I'm gonna try to come up
with a methodology that makes my life as easy as possible.

If more than one application uses a package, it is feasible for at most
one application to include it.  Managing the application that way makes
it more complicated for other applications to use.  For example, the
package's releace cycle becomes bound to the release cycle of the
including application, which is cumbersome for other applications.

I have seen you take a similar approach to zope.testing and I found that 
painful just by watching the checkins.


I don't understand what you mean.  Having a separate zope.testing project has
been extremely useful.  For example, in our comercial apps,
we often used newer versions than existed in Zope 3.  We often needed
enhacements to zope.testing at times that Zope 3 was feature frozen.
We could have made a Zope 3 branch just to modify zope.testing, but that
would have been a hassle for us and for Zope 3 developers.  Note that
the new test runner (from zope.testing) was used in ZODB long before it
was used in Zope 3.

 I feel like an old record, but please
let's keep the development process as simple as possible. I rather make some 
concessions to the packaging and dependency system than spending more time 
developing.


Perhaps our goals are different. I want Zope's packages to be usable
outside of Zope.  I also want to make it easier to use external packages.
I think that a more package-centric development methodoligy will make
achieving these goals much easier.  I also think it will make Zope releases
go smoother because the scope of the release will be narrower.  Someday,
A Zope release will include an app-server specific core and a collection of
other package releases.  To the extend that those packages have their own
lifeccyles, and quality control, the amount of newly released code in a Zope
release wil be smaller.  A package-based approach will also make it easier to
release less. We'll be freed from a batteries included mentality that
encourages large high-risk releases. And it will make it easier for people
to make custom releases that have configurations targeted to specific needs.

I'll note that SchoolTool greatly benefits from the current release
 building. We simply include all the Zope 3 dependencies in our 
dependency list and build the release. We can decide to include

Zope 3 dependencies or not. Overall I think zpkg is a great win and
whatever we do next should not remove those features.


I agree that dependency based releases -- and development is great.
I think eggs are a lot farther along that zpkg. (Eggs weren't around
when we started zpkg.)  If eggs work out, as I hope they will, I'd
like to stop work on zpkg and just use eggs.


Sure, I support dependencies and separating out Zope into sub projects, 
I'm just listing an additional use case: the repository state should be 
similar to release state, to avoid confusion for developers as well as 
people who want to become developers.


I.e. a developer should have the ability to easily see the same (or 
similar) code layout, dependencies, etc, as in a release, and someone 
familiar with a release should see the same (or similar) code layout, 
dependencies, if they become a developer.


Another use case, probably mostly in the context of Five, it's nice to 
have an inclusive release of Zope 3 in Zope 2. The goal of reducing the 
amount of code included in Zope 2 sounds nice in theory, but it stops 
Five developers from exposing Zope 3 code in Zope 2 because it simply 
isn't there in a particular release. It is *nice* to have all of Zope 3 
included in Zope 2. I don't want to lose that good thing in the rush to 
minimize dependencies.

...

No, I mean using eggs.  Zope should be broken into separate projects
with their own eggs.  A Zope release might just be an egg with 
dependencies.

Or it might just be a collection of eggs.


Ah, makes sense. A 'meta-package', so to speak. Works well in Debian, so 
I think that's an interesting pattern to follow. As long as we can do 
those micro releases quickly -- the problem is that Zope 3 is one 
project, and we want one communication channel, as we simply don't have 
enough people otherwise. From another perspective it's many projects, 
though.


You know my position concerning the repository and the release; I'd 
prefer them to be kept as similar as possible to simplify the release 
process. I hope we can go in that direction. It also makes things more 
predictable to developers. We noticed that some Zope 3 packages

Right. If eggs work out, then a respository check out will be a lot 
smaller,

but will download needed eggs.  This would be a replacement of the
use of externals we have now.


A risk here is that if I find a bug in package X, I can't easily track 
it into package Y and fix it there, as package Y is an egg. The current 
system doesn't have this problem.


As a side issue: From the perspective of Five, it is beneficial to 
have as much Zope 3 code included into Zope 2 releases, as that gives 
us an opportunity to start using this functionality right away, 
exposing it to Zope 2, without waiting for a new release.


Understand though that there is nothing like a backward compatibility
promise for something that hasn't been released.


Yes, but Zope 2 included *less* than Zope 3 in the most recent release, 
and I'd like *all* packages that are in a Zope 3 release to be available 
in a Zope 2 release. I.e. Five doesn't want packages that aren't in a 
Zope 3 release, but not less either.


[snip]
  (If you're interested I can try to explain some of my thinking a bit 
deeply.) Eggs are a nice distribution mechanism, but I'd also want the 
knitting process to work for a SVN checkout -- developers working with 
SVN need to be very easily work with a 'knitted' version, so perhaps 
svn:externals will remain a valuable tool.


Assuming that eggs fullfill their promise, I think I'd
rather use eggs than externals.


Sure, but see the risk I mentioned earlier in this mail.


As part of this decomposition, we need to make zope.app much smaller.
 Early in Zope 3 development, I proposed a simple rule for
organization of the repository: Anything that depended on zope.app
went in zope.app. Anything else went in zope.  If there was doubt,
put it in zope.app.  I think that served us well at the time, but I
think we've moved beyond that,  I'd like to migrate most of zope.app
elsewhere.  Zope 2.10 should not include zope.app.


This worries me; Five is currently using massive quantities of code in 
zope.app, and as expressed above, I value Five having access to 
potentially all Zope 3 code that's in a Zope 3 release.


The code that Five is using will still be available, but it will be
somewhere else (with necessary backward compatibility hacks).


As long as Zope 2.10 contains all packages in Zope 3.

Martijn

What if we can create in SVN the equivalent of what would be an egg + 
its dependencies for checkout, using externals? I know Jim said he 
doesn't want to use externals, but I'm thinking in that direction. You'd 
have one SVN directory for each egg, which then contains the right 
externals to pull in all the dependencies. Hopefully the process of 
creating such an SVN directory could be automated from egg dependency 
metadata.

 What if we can create in SVN the equivalent of what would be an egg +
 its dependencies for checkout, using externals? I know Jim said he
 doesn't want to use externals, but I'm thinking in that direction. You'd
 have one SVN directory for each egg, which then contains the right
 externals to pull in all the dependencies. Hopefully the process of
 creating such an SVN directory could be automated from egg dependency
 metadata.

That would work for me. If it resolves the risk and is still pretty automated, 
SVN checkout or even calling make, then it is fine by me. The others have 
also pointed out the egg development mode.

Sure, I support dependencies and separating out Zope into sub projects, 
I'm just listing an additional use case: the repository state should be 
similar to release state, to avoid confusion for developers as well as 
people who want to become developers.


I.e. a developer should have the ability to easily see the same (or 
similar) code layout, dependencies, etc, as in a release, and someone 
familiar with a release should see the same (or similar) code layout, 
dependencies, if they become a developer.


Right, got it.  A checkout and a release should be very similar.
If eggs work out, then they would both use eggs to satisfy their
dependencies.

Another use case, probably mostly in the context of Five, it's nice to 
have an inclusive release of Zope 3 in Zope 2. The goal of reducing the 
amount of code included in Zope 2 sounds nice in theory, but it stops 
Five developers from exposing Zope 3 code in Zope 2 because it simply 
isn't there in a particular release. It is *nice* to have all of Zope 3 
included in Zope 2. I don't want to lose that good thing in the rush to 
minimize dependencies.


Right now Five/Zope2 include lots of packages they don't and may never
use.  I want Five/Zope2 to not *have* to include packages they don't
need just because we've created monoliths.  I especially don't want
to release experimental code through Five/Zope2 just because we don't
have our repository and/or packaging in order.

A risk here is that if I find a bug in package X, I can't easily track

There are two issues here:

1. Debugging. Can debugging tools show you code in eggs? They should.
   If they don't they may need to be improved.  If that's not an option,
   eggs let you expand an egg into a normal directory at installation time.
   I don't think this will be a problem, although we may need to
   take some steps to assure that it isn't.

2. Updates.  We can't update packages now that we get via externals.
   If we didn't adopt eggs, I expect that we'd make greater and greater
   use of externals.  Eggs don't make update any harder than externals.

...


Understand though that there is nothing like a backward compatibility
promise for something that hasn't been released.



Yes, but Zope 2 included *less* than Zope 3 in the most recent release, 
and I'd like *all* packages that are in a Zope 3 release to be available 
in a Zope 2 release. I.e. Five doesn't want packages that aren't in a 
Zope 3 release, but not less either.


I'm surprised that it included less.  I think a more powerful
packaging architecture will make it easeir to include what we want.
Deciding what we want is another issue.

Releases won't use svn:externals.  What about dependencies that aren't

Externals don't handle this well.  Eggs do.

 I have seen you take a similar approach to zope.testing and I found that
 painful just by watching the checkins.

[Jim Fulton]
 I don't understand what you mean.  Having a separate zope.testing project has
 been extremely useful.  For example, in our comercial apps,
 we often used newer versions than existed in Zope 3.  We often needed
 enhacements to zope.testing at times that Zope 3 was feature frozen.
 We could have made a Zope 3 branch just to modify zope.testing, but that
 would have been a hassle for us and for Zope 3 developers.  Note that
 the new test runner (from zope.testing) was used in ZODB long before it
 was used in Zope 3.

I want to note that this was good for Zope3, too:  as a willing early
adopter of zope.testing, ZODB hit bugs and platform-dependent
glitches first, and got them fixed before the larger Zope3 development
community could be bit by them.

Also want to note that ZRS needed to add new features to
zope.testing, and ZRS doesn't include _any_ Zope code (ZRS builds on
ZEO, not Zope).  Having zope.testing be its own project without all
the adminstrative overheads of having its own official releases made
it very easy to add new code for ZRS's benefit without disturbing any
of zope.testing's other users.

In all, zope.testing is a poster child for the value of package
development outside of a Zope tree.  It's true that, to make changes
in zope.testing, I needed to have a distinct checkout of zope.testing.
 I didn't feel that to be a burden, though.

Hm, some confusion.. Perhaps the cause is this: With Zope 3, I mean 
Zope 3 *as released*. I imagine you might think of Zope 3 differently, 
i.e. Zope 3 as what's in the repository, which includes things beyond 
what gets released (i.e experimental packages).


I'm talking about a Zope 2 release including (most of) what's in a Zope 
3 release, so that Five developers can work on exposing *that* in Zope 2 
too (which can then be part of the next Zope 2 release as we integrate 
the newer Five in it).


I'm  describing a pattern of working that has worked pretty well for 
Five for a while now.


Of course that doesn't mean I want experimental packages in Zope 2 that 
are not in a Zope 3 release. Five is about exposing Zope 3 as released 
in Zope 2, it shouldn't expose *more* functionality than Zope 3 does. :)

Same goes for zdaemon. And of course ZConfig.

I have to admit to being very interested in eggs myself. I like the idea

I think Zope 3 has done extremely well with all this so far. Personally, 
I've used Zope 3s' ZPT and testbrowser packages in contexts that have 
nothing to do with Zope 3 (or even Zope sometimes) and liked the feel of it.


I wasn't away the same was true for zope.testing but I'm very glad to 
hear it.


On a side note, I see python now includes doctest.py, why are we still

 Hi,

 I have some comments about the idea of a Zope newsletter. Though it would
 be nice to have one, a newsletter may be too formal an undertaking for a
 community site.

 There was a time when the zope.org site presented a feature called Zope
 Weekly News, where the name weekly comes from a loose definition of week
 which refers to any period of days longer than a week and shorter than a
 year.

 I think a community site that tries to do newsletters takes the risk of
 going the way of ZWN. Unless someone is paid to do this, I think we better
 not do it. A blog should be enough and even those aren't that easy to keep
 updated.

 We could also compile automatically some news items, Releases and
 announcements and call them the newsletter.

i would think planetzope.org fits this description nicely

planetzope.org is indeed a good start. Luckily Michael Haubenwallner of 
planetzope is a datamunger, and is working on involving other sources of 
news, such as zope related del.icio.us links.


Michael, what do you think?


To answer this (and what Tonico mentioned in his posting) i'm using 
del.icio.us as a cheap way for collecting data and organizing content 
from which a zope.org newsletter can be written.

I think watchword for anything we do for zope.org is that we can't 
accomplish it unless it requires the minimum of work to get done. 
Perhaps what we'll end up with is not a newsletter, but if it's useful, 
we should put it on zope.org.


Writing text is cheap. Mining existing links is cheap. Reusing existing

No, I'll be with Zope2 for a while. I'm running an Plone site too and dont't
have the memory to run a second Zope3 instance.

I think my question is answered and I'm a little less confused now. :-)

When I heard the word interface I thought of something like a network 
interface,
which is the communication gateway to the entire machine if you address it from 
network:

- you physically connect it to the network by plugging a cable into the NIC
- you address it by calling an address which is assigned to the NIC.

actually all other devices on the network only see the target machine as a 
network interface
and don't know what kind of system it is plugged into until the methods the 
interface provides
trigger routines that reveal more information.

So, now I understand that interfaces in a the Zope2 context have some different 
meaning.

Maybe I should understand them as pseudo interfaces.

[Zope] Zope fails on large task?

2006-01-19 Thread David Whiteley
I have a quite complicated data collection and reporting system based on
zope2.7 and postgresql.  All the postgresql stuff is handled by external
scripts.  I have used page templates throughout.  It is running on a
Debian Sarge based system, and uses Apache as a front end.  

 This is my first experience developing with Zope, so I have probably
done things oddly, but...

I have script that generates a large bundle of data dictionary for each
target entity, which is in this case is a person.  I then pass this
data to a script that converts it to XML.  My template repeats over a
list of people, and concatenates and sends the XML for them all to the
user, where a bit of XSLT creates a paged report. 

It works for a few people.  If I try too many people it fails with an
   Error reading from remote server
message from the Apache.

I cannot find any hints in the apache or zope logs.  I have tried to
monitor the server to see if any resources are running out, but have not
found anything. 


Can anyone suggest how I try to diagnose this failure. 

I repeat, I am fairly new to Zope, and so need fairly basic help.

Can you check your memory consumption on the server? It could be that
your application eats up so much memory that your zope can't handle it
and thus times out.
If this is the case you'll need to rewrite your app to NOT create a
too big data structure of dictionaries.

[Zope] Software to Administer a Zope Project?

2006-01-19 Thread Pablo Ziliani

Hi everybody,
I want to keep track of a project I am developing in Zope, so basically 
I need some advise on the software I might prefer to adopt. I tried 
trac, but I find it a bit complicated to have to admin everything 
through the shell and also, unless there's an easy way to integrate zodb 
stuff to it, I'm not interested in the svn part, just the project 
management itself (tickets, milestones, etc). I'm not saying that I 
won't use Trac, but maybe I'm just missing something. Zepp is not an option.


Thanks in advance,
Pablo

It a programming context, really. You should think of programmatic 
interfaces like the interface between a power supply and a power 
consumer: as long as both agree that the plug should have an end like 
such, and the socket should look so and so, and the voltage is this, it 
doesn't really matter what's generating the power, what's consuming the 
power, or how the plug or socket is made.

[Zope] Class instances changing address?

2006-01-19 Thread Jeff Gentry
Hello ...

I'm running Zope 2.7.3 w/ python 2.4.1.  I'm in the process of developing
a FS based product as a primary class w/ many sub-classes.  I've been
experiencing a problem which I thought I had completely nixed but
apparently only partly so and now am out of ideas as to what might be the
source of the problem.

As background, the primary class (A) maintains a handle to an instance of
another class (B) which handles interaction w/ a psycopg db
controller.  Class A also will instantiate several instances of Class C
and as part of the construction will pass it the handle to class B.  So in
summary, A has a B and has 1:n C's, and C has a reference to B.  A  B
have physical representations in the ZMI, while instances of C are
'virtual'.

What is happening at times is that all of a sudden any call from C to B
(ie C is accessing the DB) will result in Zope reporting that it could not
find the psycopg controller, and indeed when this happens, any call
through B via C will show that B can not find any DB controllers (using
SQLConnectionIDs()).  When I looked a bit closer, I had C's instance of B
do a 'print instanceOfB' before calling out to B, which looked like this
in the console:
B instance at 2a9d564da0

What I found was at the moment that things stopped working, the address of
the instance was changed, which explains a lot.  However, I can not figure
out why this would happen - as far as I can tell the B instance is not
being reassigned in any capacity in my code.  Also, this seems to happen a
bit nondeterministically (although I'm sure it isn't really) in that the
same set of operations will not always have the same result here - it
might cause the above switch/failure in one run through but not the next 3
times.

I wish I could post some relevent code but the code base but given that
I'm not at all sure what section of the code might be causing this and the
code base is several thousand lines long, that'sn ot really possible :(
What I was hoping was that people might have some ideas as to what I might
be doing wrong here (and admittedly I tought myself Zope  Python mostly
from other Zope products and trial  error so there might be some key
issue that I'm totally missing).

Thanks in advance
Jeff

Re: [Zope] zeopack: No handlers could be found for logger ZEO.zrpc

2006-01-19 Thread Tim Peters
[Cameron Beattie]
 When I run the following:
 python /usr/lib/zope/bin/zeopack.py -d 20 -h localhost -p 8100

 I get an error:
 No handlers could be found for logger ZEO.zrpc

As Dieter said, that's not an error in and of itself, it's just
Python's logging module whining at you.  ZEO.zrpc is trying to log a
message of some sort, but the logging module hasn't been set up to
accept the request.  The message ZEO.zrpc is _trying_ to log may or
may not be important.  To find out, we'll have to see the message.

 I have searched around and found a similar message at
 http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2005-December/026097.html (relating
 to zeoup.py) but I didn't understand what needs to be done to remedy the
 problem.

Is it true that you don't know how to edit Python code?  The first
response to that message suggested adding:

import logging
logging.basicConfig()

to the code, and it's hard to know what to say if you don't know how
to do that.  If you know how to use an editor, add those two lines to
your copy of zeopack.py, for example immediately following its:

if __name__ == __main__:

line.  If those instructions don't make sense, show them to someone else ;-)

 In the case of zeopack, the database is not packed i.e. the script doesn't
 work.

Finding out what the log message is may or may not reveal a cause for
that.  You should also look at your ZEO server's log file, since
problems with the database will be logged there by the ZEO server
code.  In fact, if there _is_ a problem with the database file (e.g.,
it's corrupted in some way), the only useful information you're going
to get will be in the server's log file, and ZEO.zrpc on the client
side would just try to log a message saying that the server was
unhappy.  It's possible that's what's happening here, but not enough
info to say for sure.

 I am running Zope 2.8.2 with python 2.4.1.

I missed your fuller explanation. How big are the responses back to
the client browsers?  Is there a zope.conf directive that limits the
size of responses to client browser? 

If you can get the size then you can try and duplicate with a very
large HTML file. And send that as a response to see if its just a size
problem?

Anyway I hope someone can help you. If you solve this please post to

check out authentication source. also, check out all the docs in the xuf ta ball. iirc, there's a faq for this..

 I'm at the point where I've installed the exUserFolder product to

 authenticate against an external SQL database.

 However, I need to hold some additional information in the user
object.

 It seems to me that I have to change the exUserFolder product code

I use SimpleUserfolder to authenticatate against postgres. Its easy to
add addional user information. Heres a short version of how this
similar product works:
a) you store authentication data in an SQL table (or anywhere thats
persistent).
b) you write a handful of scripts to satisfy Zope's authentication
machinary (examples are provided).
c) you can obtain additional user information by calling your SQL
tables with userID, eg obtain their phone, fax and socials - or right
after authentication you can stuff the users details into SESSION.

All you need to do is configure a property source.

You can store properties in the ZODB or in SQL, or pretty much anywhere.

Re: [Zope] zeopack: No handlers could be found for logger ZEO.zrpc

2006-01-19 Thread Cameron Beattie
Thanks for the help. Adding the following (as suggested) resolved the 
problem:


   import logging
   logging.basicConfig()

Regards

[Zope] SOLUTION -- Products have incorrect home attribute

2006-01-19 Thread George Lee
 After migrating to a new server, several of my Zope products have an
 incorrect home attribute that specifies where they live on the
 filesystem. However, when I try to change these attributes using an
 external method, the attributes do not change. Any help?
 
 Peace,
 George


Turns out it was a bug in my external method, writing == instead of =, that
tripped me up. This is the external method I used:



OLD_INSTANCE_PROD_DIR_LIST = [
   '/home/BLUH1/zope/instance1/Products/',
   '/home/BLUH2/zope/instance1/Products/',
   ]
NEW_INSTANCE_PROD_DIR = '/usr/local/zope/instance1/Products/'

OLD_PYTHON_PROD_DIR_LIST = [
   '/usr/home/BLUH3/zope/270/lib/python/Products/',
   '/home/BLUH4/zope/273/lib/python/Products/',
   '/home/BLUH5/zope/281/lib/python/Products/',
   ]
NEW_PYTHON_PROD_DIR = '/usr/local/zope/284/lib/python/Products/'

def listHome(self):
   prods = self.Control_Panel.Products
   listBefore = []
   listAfter = []

   for p in prods.objectIds():
  homeBefore = prods._getOb(p).home
  listBefore = listBefore + [homeBefore]
  if homeBefore in map( lambda x : x + p, OLD_INSTANCE_PROD_DIR_LIST ):
 prods._getOb(p).home = NEW_INSTANCE_PROD_DIR + p
  elif homeBefore in map( lambda x : x + p, OLD_PYTHON_PROD_DIR_LIST ):
 prods._getOb(p).home = NEW_PYTHON_PROD_DIR + p
  listAfter = listAfter + [prods._getOb(p).home]

   return Before: %s\n\nAfter: %s % (str(listBefore),str(listAfter))

Re: [Zope] Zope MailTemplates

2006-01-19 Thread Chris Withers

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay in replying, been away...

Erik Myllymaki wrote:

the complaint is not mine but is from the marketing department :)

in Thunderbird (on Windows anyway) it adds a black mark in place of the 
newline :-0


Ah, I always wondered what that was!
(I see them from the zope checkins emails)

Does anyone know how to work around this?

One other thing though, is that when using MailTemplates, i haven't 
found a way to include BCC and CC recipients without altering MailHost.py.


Hmm, I guess the docs need a bit of clarification :-S
How are you calling the template?

As an example, you can just call the mail template with:

container.my_mt(mcc=('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
mbcc=('[EMAIL PROTECTED]',))

cheers,

Chris
