[Zope] Re: Zope 2 and Zope 3
On 2/14/07, Philipp von Weitershausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There will definitely be a Zope 2.11 and at this point I see no reason why there shouldn't be a Zope 2.12. We (the Zope Community, not necessarily Zope Corporation) will maintain Zope 2 as long as it's necessary. "Maintaining" in this case also means integrating more Zope 3 technologies with each release. Nowadays (Zope 2.10) you can already write applications, or at least base libraries, that work on both Zope 3 and Zope 2. This is very helpful for setting a planning horizon, thank you. I'm surprised you're experiencing poor scaling. I think Zope can scale pretty well, or at least it can be *made* to scale pretty well. It all depends on your setup and, of course, on your application. I can't swear to the accuracy of what I'm about to say but it is an operating hypothesis that describes accurately behavior that we are seeing. Our application is highly dynamic, by which I mean that satisfying any given request may require a great deal of database activity. The database in question is almost always Oracle; I'm not counting the ZODB accesses, here. Oracle will handle a great many concurrent requests fairly gracefully, but its average transaction time is not always excellent, especially for moderately complicated queries. While most queries are sub-second, populating a page that requires multiple queries to fill in all its data fields, or even populating a page with only one or two complicated queries, can require greater than a single second of database I/O. This cost is offset by the ability to have other threads processing while your first thread waits for the database to come back. Zope likes to have 4 threads processing requests. This preference is documented in several places, and experiments have historically borne out the "4 thread hypothesis". We have been unable to realize significant performance improvements by increasing the number of available worker threads, but we are able to realize performance improvements by pointing two Zope servers against the same database. Zope isn't using much CPU, and it's not using much memory, but it peaks out at 4 concurrent requests; everything else goes in a queue behind them. If those 4 concurrent requests happen to take 4 or 5 seconds each, the queue builds deep behind them, possibly with very simple one-offs. Historically, we've addressed this by sticking another Zope out there. We have plans to run multiple Zope instances on a single machine, like they do (did?) at plone.org; this still requires configuration management work and testing. But the feeling is that we have a lot more hardware than we really should need, to handle the volumes we're dealing with, and we have that hardware because we need more "channels" to handle our concurrent traffic load. As for source control, I figure all of your code (DTML, yuck) is in the ZODB. This went out of fashion a long time ago, most serious development happens on the filesystem (in Python packages) which can obviously be source-controlled very well. A good deal of the code is in the ZODB, because it's (yuck) DTML documents, yes. We have another sizable chunk that lives on the filesystem. The challenge in managing the build/deploy process has been trying to find a way to keep those two conjoined. I suspect that any dependency on the ZODB at all is likely to be considered an impediment, and my quick eyeballing says it's not gone or even really optional under Zope 3 (but I'm sure we could work something out.) Regarding "oh you'll hafta start over", it's pretty much true, if you want to switch to Zope 3. But nobody says you have to. You can do it incrementally by porting some of your app's functionality to Zope 3 components step by step (as mentioned already, most work in Zope 2). Big projects like Plone aren't rewriting their whole codebase either, but new development is completely Zope3-based. Their target platform still is Zope 2, though. "You'll hafta start over" is only ever true in degrees, though, and I'm still trying to figure out what the degrees are. The business logic will still be the same. Can we hack together a DTML processor that allows us to export the DTML documents to the filesystem and publish them from there? Maybe, I don't know. Did someone else already do that? Don't know that either. How dramatically will our products need to change? Probably 75% of our Python code is written in a bastardized form of ExternalMethod; we might be able to leverage that unfortunate architectural choice to significant advantage during our porting phase. These are the kinds of questions I have, and I think the answers probably aren't easy or someone would have offered them up. Someone's going to need to learn enough Zope 3 to answer the questions. I'm not sure it will be me, but maybe. :) Thanks for all the insight, I'm making plans and pleas and I have a direction for my research now. :) Thanks, --G.
[Zope] Zope 2 and Zope 3
I have a couple questions about the current game plan for Zope development that I was unable to answer for myself by searching through mailing list archives and the zope.org website. I hope my inability to answer them is not merely a symptom of poor search term choices, and I hope someone can answer them for me. I've posted a couple times before (a long time ago) about the large web application I work on; it's many hundreds of KLOC and an unfortunately large percentage of it is DTML. It's still more or less in that state; the realities of being a for-profit business in a rapidly evolving marketplace permit very little time for maintenance or aggressive refactoring of the application. That's the background for my questions; I'm trying to figure out how loudly I can shout "Impending doom!" to upper management without endangering my credibility. 1. Last time I talked to anyone from Zope Corp, the plan was to quiesce Zope 2 in favor of Zope 3. At that time, I think I remember people saying 2.9would be the last in the Zope 2 series. Now there's a 2.10, so clearly it wasn't. How long does a business like mine have before there is no clear upgrade path in the Zope 2 series? Is 2.10 now the final Zope 2 release, or will there be a 2.11 and 2.12? 2. Whenever someone asks about moving an existing application from Zope 2 to Zope 3, there's a round of flip "oh you'll hafta start over" responses. I understand that the two architectures are fundamentally different, and that I'll need to rebuild my object database, etcetera. Am I also correct in believing that all products must be completely rewritten, and that DTML is no longer a supported templating language? Has the users/roles/permissions security structure disappeared or been supplanted? I am trying to ascertain at a glance how much we will need to rebuild for ourselves; if it's enough then the problems we have had with Zope (poor scaling, poor integration with source control) may outweigh the advantages of remaining on the platform.

But I'm at a bit of a loss about how to associate an image with my sample catalog objects. Should I create a product that can contain said images? If so, how do I do this? Should I simply force a naming conventions for the images and tie them together with the sample catalog items that way?

[Zope] Washington DC area company looking for help with zope online database...
My company, E.J. Krause & Associates, Inc., is looking for a company with expertise in Zope, Python and PostreSQL to help us maintain an Online Database Project. We currently have our site, The Sports Business Directory Online, up and running at http://directory.sportsummit.com. This site is a subscription based online search engine of our sports business directory database. Subscribers can login to the site and use our search engine to find companies in our online database, which we update and upload to the site daily in .dbf file formats. There is also a sample database at the site so that you can see examples of how the search engine operates without subscribing. We also sell subscriptions to our database in a simple SSL online store where a purchaser enters some credit card information into our order form, a secure email is sent to my inbox, we process the card internally in our accounting department, and then reply with a login and password the next business day. We are looking to move this part of the site towards a real-time e-commerce store using CyberCash technology. Our current needs for this project begin with finding a company who begin the relationship by hosting the site and keeping it up and running in its current state. After the site is stabilized, we would be ready to start making minor fixes to the current data functionality, and then would like to move into creating a real-time e-commerce structure and improving the site's overall look and feel. If your company can help us with this endeavor, please contact me by replying to this email, or by calling me at (301) 493-5500 x3374. This is a very time sensitive matter as we believe that our site will go offline at the end of July unless an alternative solution is found. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

[Zope] ZWiki with RemoteWikiLink - minor fix and remaining question
I needed to create 'proper' URLs with a remote wiki link, but ZWiki 0.6.1 only allowed things of the form ZWikiName:name-with-characters-only. I suppose my locale setting translates too many things to whitespace, but I'm not sure. A simple fix in the ZWikiPage.py file (sorry no diff here): find line interwikilink= r'!?((?P%s):(?P[\w]+))' % (wikilink) replace string [\w] by [A-Za-z0-9/:@_~#=\.\-\?] (note I couldn't include the % char because it seems to provoke the need for another string). Remaining question. Does anyone have a fix for the incorrect rendering of [notzwikiname] to nested URL notzwikiname or do I have to fix that for myself? This also fails to work as a remote wiki link, and I thought a fix for one might be a fix for the other also. Thanks.
