Probably better, yes.  Done:

Possibly this issue is caused by a different umask on my new Linux box.
However either the step for generating the tar ball or Python Distutils
module should be in charge for dealing with the file permissions properly.
No idea how and where to address this problem at the moment.

Well, you don't need to rewrite most of it, as Zope handles some of

Well, that wouldn't help you. You would then still have one million

Which way should I go?


Hard to say. If the Perl code was NOT spaghetti-code (is there Perl
code that is not) then a perl framework would probably have been the
natural way to go. Now I don't even know if that would help you,
because that assumes you can extract relevant parts from you current
app and reuse them. And if you can, well, then it's not spaghetti. :)

If it really is spaghetti, you'll end up rewriting everything anyway.
Install something like CPS and Plone and look at Plones third-party
products, and you'll get a feeling for how much you really need to
write from scratch. There's a lot out there.

If I can provide any suggestion, take a look at "Refactoring", by
Martin Fowler, and start applying the refactorings there provided.
This is not, I think a Zope/Perl/Python/PHP issue, but rather a
refactoring/migration problem, and it should be explored in that
places (just a suggestion, of course).

I think I have seen a Python-Perl adapter (search for such a thing;
I will not search for you).

If you find one, you may be able to use Perl from Python (and
by extension from Zope).

Looks like a buggy "acl_users".

This is not a good idea!

The source of an "External Method" can be read arbitrarily often --
and each time, you extend "sys.path"...

The "imp" module allows you to import modules without the need
to modify "path".

That's typical Python behaviour:

  Python does not recognize at runtime when a module source has
  changed.

  It provides however a builtin "reload" which you can use
  to explicitely reload a module.

  Be warned the "reload" is dangerous. Funny effects can happen.


As someone else suggested, restarting Zope is the safest way
(although not the fasted one).

It sounds like you already have a web application (in perl) up and 
running,

so what do you want Zope (or anything else) to accomplish for you?


Jonathan


Yes, the application is currently deployed but it is the gnarliest mess of 
ten year old spaghetti
code you have ever seen. No session handling, no automatic CGI variable 
parsing, no
authenticationno fun. I am attempting to find a path towards a proper 
web application
framework without having to rewrite every single line of legacy code. For 
example, all new
projects would adhere to framework xyz and the legacy code would still 
play nicely with the

framework.


If you want to maintain this application within Zope then you will have to 
eventually rewrite the perl scripts into python.  However, as a first step, 
perhaps you could turn your perl scripts into standalone routines which can 
be invoked by a Zope External Method (use an 'os' call), and then 
communicate with the perl script via pipes or temporary files.


This should allow you to create an intial framework in Zope, but continue to 
use the business logic in the perl scripts.


This approach is based on the assumption that the perl scripts can be turned 
into 'functions' which take some input parameters, then apply some internal 
logic, and then return some value(s) which you then process/store in Zope.


I don't know if this approach will buy you anything or not... it all depends 
on how the perl routines are written and what they do.


It may be easier to rewrite the whole thing! The end result will probably be 
more maintainable and remember 1000 lines of Perl = 10 lines of python ;-) 
(ok, i may have exaggerated just a little...)

I saw that the zope-perl project is virtually dead and was hoping that some 
magical zope to perl
bridge existed. Something that would allow me to use our existing perl code as 
an external method
or someting similar. Forgive me if my zope terminology is a bit off as I 
haven't worked with zope
in about three years.

As it stands it looks like I will need to use a PHP or Perl web application 
framework.

PHP because it has decent Perl to PHP support:

http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-perl.php

Or Perl, for obvious reasons. Perhaps something like Catalyst:

http://www.catalystframework.org/

However, neither of the above solutions is as enticing as the joy I am sure I 
would get from Zope.
Which way should I go?

Thanks,
Derek Basch

You can download Zope 2.10.0 from:

  http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.10.0/


Great, thanks!

First problem that I see, which has happened before in some Zope tar
files IIRC, is that the files in the skel dir don't have the right
permissions.  Only root can view them.  So when you make an instance
you run into an error:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: './README.txt'



Oh, and some other files as well, like:
lib/python/Zope2/Startup/zopeschema.xml
lib/python/zope/contenttype/mime.types

Running this:

find -execdir sudo chmod a+r {} +

fixes it for me.  Now Zope starts up fine.



Feel free to file a collector issue.

Re: [Zope] Programmatically logging out a user

[Jonathan]

We use a 'home-grown' cookie-based authentication 
process, and when we want to log the user out we over-write the cookie with 
invalid data and send the user to a 'so long and thanks for all the fish' 
page.

That depends on the type of 'authentication' you're using.

If you're using Cookie based auth, the convention for zope user folders (and
CookieCrumbler) is to use the __ac cookie, so you can also try deleting that.

No idea what you mean in detail. You can generate PDF either through

Refactor? No. But it's quite likely that you can redo it quite quickly

What does you perl code/crap do? What type of site is it?
