I'm not entirely sure why the idea of ZTables went away so completely. Python tables in the ZODB combined with the catalog should make for an interesting system to play with. Though perhaps there are products out there that actually do this. Come to think of it, MetaPublisher (not to be

Stephan Richter just told me that the ZOQL (short for use SQL-like syntax within the ZODB) has become a reality. Maybe that could be interesting for your problem domain, too. I did want to announce it officially yet (and I won't), but the URL is:

[Zope-dev] Building a WebDAV capable product: how?

2001-10-05 Thread Raymond Penners

Any particular reason why you can't use Random.shuffle from a PythonScript? Or any other methods of a Random object. I'd like to propose that restricted python be allowed access to methods of random.Random. I know that I can write a product to add a security declaration to random.Random,
