Re: [Zope-dev] dtml-in batching improved

2001-05-31 Thread Chris Withers

 When using batching in dtml-in, why is 'previous-sequence' only defined at
 the first iteration of the current batch? And why is 'next-sequence' only
 defined at the last iteration of the current batch?

I know this problem ;-)

I had it too, and stuck something in the collector about it. I did manage to
get the layout you're after without modifying Zope though (see the search
page on www.nipltd.com)

If you want the code, maybe someone at NIP could fish it out, if you can
wait until next Thursday, I'll grab it myself :-)

cheers,

Chris

I've done it myself as well using (as described in the posting) two

Is your solution any different? (The only one I can think of is storing

 How about combining a fishbowl and a dogbowl by using Shanes Workflow tool
 on the fishbowl? It seems a little wierd that is all a bunch of Wiki's,
 great for making comments and development but rather hard to track
changes,
 manage (I assume) and enforce guidelines.

 Wouldn't it make more sense to have a product that did this? Doesnt have
to
 be anything fancy. It would be nice if for example I could an xml-rpc call
 to Proposals to get a list of new proposals, rather than now which is read
 through it by hand.

 Time for the fishbowl to mature now its used a lot? Perhaps start a
proposal
 on the fishbowl?

 Cheers.

[Zope-dev] ZPatterns and Transactions

I have a ZPatterns application that uses the ZODB as storage.  When I delete
an object only the name of the script that deleted the object is shown in
the Undo log.  Is there any way to determine the ID of the object that was
deleted?  Is there a way that one can get a handle on the object that was
deleted?

How did you miss the point?  That's exactly the point! :-)

Right now ZCatalog randomly generates ConflictErrors even if there are no
conflicts in the data being indexed.  It's quite rare, however, and
there's machinery that retries the entire transaction up to three times
when it happens. 

If the current mechanism is reliable, and efficient (given that
conflict/retries are rare) then I dont understand the motivation

 But I want it to be more reliable, especially so that
ZCatalog can be used in ZODB applications outside Zope.

Is it because other non-Zope applications might not be so proficient
at performing retries?

The system becomes less reliable as server load increases.  Large catalog

conflicts.

Yes.  Long-running transactions are especially problematic.

We know why they happen.  They are only *apparently* random--they actually
make perfect sense.  (Maybe I didn't make that clear.)  If you
concurrently modify objects that happen to be placed near enough each
other in one of the indexes then a conflict will occur.  We have a partial
solution in place which tries to merge the buckets that make up the index,
but this solution can't solve the whole problem.

Think about what SQL databases do.  You can add entries to a table
simultaneously from different connections.  As long as the contents of
the entries don't conflict, there will not be any kind of conflict in the
indexes either.

ZCatalog is to ZODB what indexes are to SQL databases.  I'd like ZCatalog
to have the same level of reliability.

AFAIK that is what the next and previous options for dtml-in are for.
Usually
I just store the sequence (if it is a query) in a variable using a let
around
three (or more) dtml-ins. Two of which use the next or previous option
to create
the batching links.

A note about this for those who have run afoul of restrictions on
builtins such as 'list', 'map', and 'range' in Scripts and DTML Python
expressions:

In the new architecture, there are (by default) no attempts to protect
the system against excessive CPU or memory utilization.  Unless you
explicitly turn on such limits (not implemented yet), anyone who has
permission to write DTML or Scripts in your Zope can accidentally or
deliberately consume all available resources with infinite loops or huge
data structures.  Realistically, they could before, they just had to be
slightly more creative.

RE: [Zope-dev] Does creating REAL over-the-web Python code become realistic with Zope 2.4?

2001-05-31 Thread Loren Stafford

Coincidently, I was just trying to edit a file on the filesystem with an FTP

Does that throw a monkey wrench into your idea?

 Subject: [Zope-dev] Does creating REAL over-the-web Python code become

 Hi!

 When I read about the reload functionality of Zope 2.4, an old vision came
 back to my mind:

 If we can reload Python code at runtime, and we can also edit,
 generate and
 store files (containing code)  via the web (as LocalFS or extFile prove),
 then it should be perfectly possible to have something like ZClasses (it
 terms of the over-the-web front-end) that spits out and dynamically loads
 REAL Python classes instead of the rather experimental simulation
 of classes
 we get with ZClasses, right?

 I'll skip the part about why we should not be able to manipulate Zope code
 over the web, which can be discussed separately ...

 What do you think about this idea? If it finds some friends, I'll set up a
 formal proposal for something like ZClass-like features to build
 REAL Zope
 Python classes over the web.

[Zope-dev] Coding Standards

Hey all,

I am completely new to ZOPE and to PYTHON, although I have a programming 
background in other
languages.  I was wondering if some people would mind sharing a copy of a 
coding standard that they
use including naming conventions and general never-evers, or always always. 
I figure if someone has
a standard it usually helps new people to avoid pitfalls.

 write to the directory.
 
 Does that throw a monkey wrench into your idea?
 

ahhh, but ftp access appears on the LocalFS to-do list...

Subject: [Zope-dev] Coding Standards


 Hey all,

 I am completely new to ZOPE and to PYTHON, although I have a programming
 background in other
 languages.  I was wondering if some people would mind sharing a copy of a
 coding standard that they
 use including naming conventions and general never-evers, or always
always.
 I figure if someone has
 a standard it usually helps new people to avoid pitfalls.

 Thanks in Advance,
 Rick

Re: [Zope-dev] Does creating REAL over-the-web Python code become realistic with Zope 2.4?

2001-05-31 Thread Joachim Werner

 Coincidently, I was just trying to edit a file on the filesystem with an
FTP
 client going thru Zope/FTP and a LocalFS. It didn't work. The LocalFS
 instance didn't look like a directory to FTP so FTP could neither read nor
 write to the directory.

 Does that throw a monkey wrench into your idea?

No, not really. LocalFS was just an example. The only important thing is
that I can edit something, post it over the web (either from a weg form or
using FTP, WebDAV etc.) and then store it to the filesystem instead of the
ZODB.

BTW LocalFS works fine over the web frontend, and FTP over Zope over LocalFS
is not really necessary in most cases, as you can go directly to the
filesystem with plain FTP anyway. But LocalFS should be fixable to work over
FTP, I think.

Joachim

Re: [Zope-dev] Does creating REAL over-the-web Python code become realistic with Zope 2.4?

2001-05-31 Thread Joachim Werner

 Do you mean generating Python code from ZClasses? For example making and
 editing a Product over the web?

Kind of. Probably not full-fledged Products, but ZClass-like Classes that
define values for property sheets, include Methods, inherit from certain
base classes etc. ... well, maybe I'll end up with a Product ;-)

And I would maybe not generate the code from ZClasses, but write a Python
Product that does the generation.

 Well the one flaw is that you will still need to restart AFAIK to install
a
 brand new product.

This has to be tested out. At least it should be possible to add classes to
an existing Product. So that would do. I'd just need a dummy Product where
all the new over-the-web classes would go ...

Re: [Zope-dev] Browser Timeout

 I tested with lynx. If i type http://somewhere.com/foo/test i got no

 Or is it my Zope( 2.2.4 ) on Immunix 6.2 RedHat.

I presume you tested it first without the large processing to make
sure the method was otherwise working.

I haven't used RESPONSE.write myself.  I know that others on this
list have, so hopefully someone will chime in with a working example
or a debuggin suggestion.  Of course, it's always possible that
streaming got broken at some point; I'm not sure that it gets used
by very many people so breakage may take a while to get noticed...
