Re: [Zope-dev] why does my externalmethod generate a ZODB transaction

2000-07-06 Thread Joachim Schmitz

Hi,

answering to myself, cause nobody else could find the reason in the code I
provided, because I didn't include the real culprit. Here is the very much
abreviatet version, which also generates a transaction:

def workform(self,REQUEST):
"Die Masken EinAusgabe"
self.form=REQUEST.form-- this does it
return "this generated a transaction"

So don't modify the "self" of an external method.

[Zope-dev] SQL-Output

2000-07-06 Thread Andre Schubert

Hi,

i have a little problem on outputting data from an SQL-Query. The
Problem is, that the user should select his own Fieldnames
he want to show for output. The input form sends a request to the output
form, with  a query-string and some other stuff and a key named ausgabe.

The key ausgabe is a sequence with all Fielnames the user clicked. Now
in the outputform i have a sequence looking for the search-query. If
sequence starts it prints a table-head with all selected field-names out
of the second sequence ausgabe. The problem is: my table in the
relational database has a column named 'Name'. If i write in the
sequence at bottom dtml-var Name then the result is the the value of
Namne is printed. But if i write dtml-var sequence-item and the
current item is Name then Name is printed out and not the Value of Name
from the DB.
Could anybody help me.

as

P.S.: sorry for my bad english


dtml-in Suche size=10 start=query_start

   dtml-if sequence-start

 table width="560" border="1" bgcolor="#ff"

RE: [Zope-dev] why does my externalmethod generate a ZODB transaction

2000-07-06 Thread Chris McDonough

Any method called directly through the web (e.g. like this one, which I
assume is through an HTTP POST) will be bounded in a transaction.  Why
would you not want this to happen?

Yep, did the same myself shortly after posting.  It's not really clear
what 'py__add__' is and how it works, though, so it's not obvious if
'py__radd__' is the right thing to add, and if so how to add it.

If it's just a matter
of adding radd (and rsub, rmul, and rdiv) in all those places

2000-07-06 Thread Jim Fulton

Greg Ward wrote:
 
 Hi all --
 
 looks like ExtensionClass doesn't recognize/implement the '__radd__()'
 protocol.  Speculation below; first, a demonstration.  Normal case: a
 regular class Number that knows how to add itself to other number-like
 things:

(demonstration snipped)

 Speculation time: I'm guessing that this is similar to the problem with
 'isinstance()' and ExtensionClass that I found several months ago, which
 was heroically debugged by Barry.  To recap, it's a mutual
 finger-pointing bug: Python (Guido) can claim that it's up to
 ExtensionClass (Jim) to emulate the full semantics of Python
 classes/instances, but ExtensionClass can claim that Python should be
 more relaxed in what it accepts as a "class object" or "instance
 object".
 
 I think the relevant code in Python is in Objects/abstract.c,
 specifically 'PyNumber_Add()' and the BINOP macro:
 
 #define BINOP(v, w, opname, ropname, thisfunc) \
 if (PyInstance_Check(v) || PyInstance_Check(w)) \
 return PyInstance_DoBinOp(v, w, opname, ropname, thisfunc)
 
 [...]
 PyNumber_Add(v, w)
 PyObject *v, *w;
 {
 PySequenceMethods *m;
 
 BINOP(v, w, "__add__", "__radd__", PyNumber_Add);
 [...]
 
 My guess is that PyInstance_Check() returns false for ExtensionClass
 instances.  Two possible fixes: loosen up PyInstance_Check(), or loosen
 up BINOP.
 
 Well, it's a nice theory.  It doesn't explain why '__add__()' works for
 ExtensionClass while '__radd__()' does not; perhaps ExtensionClass
 implements that much of Python's class semantics, but doesn't go as far
 as '__radd__()'.

I'd love to see __radd__ added. ;) I don't remember why it's not there.
Maybe I was just lazy.  It may be fairly hard to add. I haven't looked
in quite a while. As anyone whos looked at ExtensionClass sources may
be able to tell, ExtensionClass has to play quite a few tricks to:

- Try to sanely bridge the quite different semantics of Python
  "types" and "classes" (e.g. there's no radd for "types").

- Try to overcome the fact that the interpreter special-cases 
  InstanceType and ClassType pretty liberally. To (try to and
  mostly succeed to) provide instance semantics I have to do 
  alot of weird indirection. This is especially hard for 
  numeric things.

  Your analysis of the code demonstrates this issue. ExtensionClass
  instances are not of type InstanceType. In fact, each ExtensionClass
  is a separate type and instances of different ExtensionClasses have
  different types.

  Note that I just got around to responding to your earlier 
  post "Comparison inconsistency with ExtensionClass".
  This has a similar root cause: the special-case treatment
  of InstanceType.

I think that the *real* solution to this problem is to get rid
of ExtensionClass. ;) To do this, I need to get the features
I have in ExtensionClass into Python. I guess there's some hope
for that in Python 3K (love that name :).

In the mean time, I don't have time to fix the radd problem
myself, but would be willing to advise someone who wanted
to try to take it on, especially if we could work out some
phone or face-to-face sessions.

[Zope-dev] why does an error in my externalmethod ...

2000-07-06 Thread Joachim Schmitz


make the folder from which it was invoked inaccessable ?

continuing work on my external, I removed all modifications of self, so no
transactions or better modifications of the ZODB took place. During the
development cycle: editing the external methods, testing it through
calling it through the browser, after editing the method the call of
.../Movies/testForm resulted in a not found error.
also I cannot enter the folder "Movies", if I click on it in the
managementscreen, I also get the not found error. There is no transaction
to undo, I restarted Zope no luck, I tried to delete the folder and get
the error:

Error Type: SystemError
Error Value: Failed to import class setrecord from module __main__

(Object: manage_delObjects)
File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.4/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in
call_object
(Object: manage_delObjects)
File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.4/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 395, in
manage_delObjects
(Object: ElementWithAttributes)
File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.4/lib/python/OFS/ObjectManager.py, line 267, in
_delObject
(Object: ElementWithAttributes)
File /usr/local/Zope-2.1.4/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py, line 396, in 
setstate
SystemError: (see above)
 
The class setrecord is in my external-method. I luckily had packed zodb
shortly before that, and it is just a testserver. So I copied the
Data.fs.old to Data.fs. Till now I could not reproduce the error. I still
have the corrupted Data.fs. 

But I had that occure before, after making an error in the external
method, the calling folder was not accessible anymore. But there I also
had modified self, so I had a transaction which I could "undo".

[Zope-dev] Request for amplification on new Product permissions API.

2000-07-06 Thread R. David Murray

OK, I read Brian's excellent HowTo on the 2.2 Product permissions API,
but it unfortunately doesn't give me the answer to my current
2.2 problem (or if it does there's something else I don't know that
is preventing me from figuring it out).

I'm trying to update EMarket to work under 2.2.  EMarket has a
shopper object.  A shopper's current set of potential purchases
is stored on the shopper object in a 'basket' attribute.  What
gets assigned to this attribute is an instance of a 'Basket' class.
It inherits from Persistent and Acquisition.implicit.  (Shopper,
among other things, inherits from OFS.SimpleItem, by the way.)

So, when I access the page that displays the current shopping cart,
under 2.2 I get an unauthorized error when the dtml code
attemps to access an attribute of the basket object.

So, what do I need to do to allow controlled access to this object?
I understand that Shopper, inheriting from SimpleItem, already has
the access to unprotected subobjects flag.  And I'd rather protect
the object correctly, anyway grin.  I tried adding an ac_permissions
structure to the class, giving View permission to the attribute
that is throwing the unauthorized error, but that doesn't seem to
have changed the behavior.  Adding the access to subobjects flag
also didn't do anything.  I created a new shopper/basket just in
case the changes don't affect existing objects, but still got the
same unauthorized error.
