Re: [Zope-dev] Bulletproof ZCatalog proposal

2001-06-08 Thread John D . Heintz

Please remove the del statement in the ZODB __init__.py file to make this 
possible.  I am simply trying to create my own Transaction objects and can't 
without patching the StandaloneZODB release to do this.

Thanks,
John

Alot of things change quickly in this field, so flexibility is a must to me.

I think you have a misunderstanding of freedom and opensource all in one topic.  I'm 
don't follow you here since I know it helps to get feeback from users of a product. 
I'm talking about improving the API documentation.

  I seriously wonder how good that API is going to do me if I can't use it in the 
workplace today or next week.
Everyday I see post like this
http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-cmf/2001-June/007427.html

excerpt
"I'm having trouble using the Guard expression in DCWorkflow 0.2.
Everything else works fine; it's a great product.

I think the call to expr() in the ..
I do not really know what I'm doing there... but it works :)
"



   My point is Python is/was suppose to be this language so easy and simple that it 
should be the first language to teach a person.  Where does that simplicity get lost 
with Zope I wonder?
  Don't even answer because it does'nt matter to me or the other it departments that 
are going with other solutions.

  So go on while the confusion is there. Go ahead and justify it now by saying 
polishing the API will do it for the masses. When you look at the big picture the 
developer is the smallest user group of any software product.( you have the end-user, 
testers, admins,etc)
That's why it's even more important to make sure the API docs make it easy to 
implement something and not "wow this is so cool and has so many features" without the 
benefits.

I also think a pretty good example is what Ty and Phillip did with ZPatterns.  They 
had plenty of how-to implement in the API Documentation. It did take alittle while 
though, but thanks many times over for the learning experience it was fun.

In other words half scientific facts(This is)/ half hocus pocus(Do This).



>>2. One of the main points DC made at this years Python conference was >>that 
>>they have tried to focus the Zope core on too many audiences at >>once.  
Yes a problem.


>>They 
>>had to have a clearer focus and chose developers as that focus.  

Of course they did.  We're talking about "Core" services here.  Like I said before 
once again I think it's the impletation part I'm stuck on.



>>Of course 
>>I like this choice because I am a developer, but the more important >>point

No just developers.  You can call it what you want, but it is a tool that developers 
can use to get a job done.  Content mangers and other network admin types about the 
API anyway.  I imagine most if not all of zope users are progammers in some sense.

>>Incremental restructuring of the Zope core and improved Zope >>developer 
>>documentation makes it much easier and more practical for DC and >>others to

Seems to be my point also.  Perhaps I stepped in some fishpoo and need to learn how to 
get involved with the "Fishbowl" process.


Thanks,
Jimbo

Before.  I'm saying this would take place immediately at the start of the

I think I'll wait until ZPatterns works with Zope 2.4, unless it becomes 
necessary otherwise.  Replacing what I've got now is a pretty significant 
undertaking, and risk-prone to boot, so I don't want to delay the finishing 
of ZPatterns' support for Zope 2.3.x.

Basically, the runtime patch would be to replace 
ZODB.Transaction.Transaction with a subclass that implemented the 
notification queues in the commit() method.  There'd be a few other little 
extensions needed, like clearing the queues on any abort operation, and 
adding registerIndex() and registerRule() or some such methods.

Ah-ha, this is sounding familiar.  You talked about rule agents and

I don't foresee us adding this capability right away since we need to 
understand it better and it only applies to one working product and a 
hypothetical product.  I'd suggest you go ahead with the runtime patch.

[Zope-dev] explicit/controlled/filtered acquisition for Folders?

2001-06-08 Thread Michael Halle


After dealing with using Zope for websites for two years, I've come to
the point where I think implicit acquisition should be an optional
feature when retrieving web content that looks less like objects and
more like folders of documents.  

Implicit acquisition means that when you ask for
"/folder1/folder2/folder3/mydoc.html", you might well get /mydoc.html
.  That might be useful in parts of the object world, but for folders
and documents it is almost never right.  Yes, if all your links are
correct, that won't happen, but users don't always have links correct.
Furthermore, the "infinite recursion" problem can easily happen when
search engines follow self-referential links.  

It's possible to work around the problems by using "aq_explicit" and
"absolute_url", but those strategies are cumbersome as they represent
Zope-specific tailoring.

Acquisition isn't limited just to implicit acquisition, though.  Has
anyone put any thought or work into creating an ObjectManager and
Folder that allowed explicit, controlled or filtered acquisition?  

* ExplicitAcquisitionFolders would act as "limits" or "stops" that
  isolate different zope application trees from each other.  

* Controlled or filtered acquisition folders could have a property
  that declares which methods would be acquired, much like "import"
  statements in python.

Either option would let developers choose, understand, and limit what
they were acquiring from outside the local context.  I think both
document- and object-like Zope sites would benefit.  Choice of
mechanism is good.

I've looked into the required changes some, but the ObjectManager and
Folder classes know about each other in a way that doesn't seem
completely straightforward to an outsider.  I don't think I know
enough to write the new classes, especially without a wholesale copy
of the existing classes.

To those in the know, how hard would it be to do, and what issues
would be involved?

Thanks.

Who told you that?

We use code explicitly setting the cookie path and
it appears both IE and Netscape handle this correctly.

That's the default cookie path.

Maybe, setting the cookie path explicitly removes the problem.

Note that there are 3 bugs open on this, 2291 (which you set to
Forgotten'?), 2225 and 2234.

Also, you'll have to hunt out all usage of path=REQUEST['SCRIPT_NAME'],
not just the one that you fixed. There is at least one other in
Version.py, and there may be more. I think you should search for
setCookie.

And last, this should also go in the 2.3 branch I think. It is a small
enough bugfix, and some people will be reluctant to switch to 2.4.x just
yet.

When we fix this problem, we indeed should use BASEPATH1. BASEPATH1 is
also empty when in a ZServer-only situation, so we should still use
path=(REQUEST['BASEPATH1'] or '/').

SCRIPT_NAME is not reliable in the presence of virtual hosting.  Use
REQUEST['BASEPATH1'] instead.

Please do. Refer to the other two bugs (2225 and 2234), but include my
explanation (SCRIPT_NAME is '' in ZServer only setups, thus path is '',
thus Opera ignores it).

You can create a patch where you use the path=(REQUEST['SCRIPT_NAME'] or
'/') code I proposed. Please say that I helped diagnose this, the core
team'll contact me if they need more info.

As soon as you press the 'join' button, Zope will send a 'Set-Cookie'

You are correct, SCRIPT_NAME is indeed '' in ZServer situations. However,
see below.

> http://localhost:8080/asdf, where asdf is the version).

The RFC is silent about this. Note that there are two specifications that
may apply. One is the original Netscape specification, the other is RFC
2109:

  http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
  http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc2109.html

There is also a RFC2965 which defines a new 'Set-Cookie2' header with a
new syntax.

Neither RFC 2109 nor the Netscape spec specify what happens when a
'path=;' cookie is sent, they only specify what happens if the path
attribute is absent.

The fact that we set an empty path attribute is thus confusing and we
should avoid this.

> IE and Netscape poorely ignore the path, but Opera restricts the cookie

IE and Netscape have decided that in that case the server must have ment
to say 'path=/;', while Opera chooses to interpret it the same way as an
omitted path attribute.

I think we want to use:

  RESPOSE.setCookie(
  path=(REQUEST['SCRIPT_NAME'] or '/'))

Could you file a bug in the Bug Collector at:

  http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector

Thanks!

Hi Simon,

First off, please don't send HTML mail to the list.

You will have to set the Content-Type HTTP header to do that:
REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', content_type)
where content_type is the right MIME type of the file you return, e.g.
something like 'application/msword' in your case.
Hope  that helps.

Cheers,

Gregor.

Yes, but in the proposal Andreas mentions the GPL, not the ZPL, and that
is what throws me off.

It updates the object in the ZODB.  Whether that causes a copy to be made,
depends on the underlying storage.  FileStorage makes copies,
BerkeleyStorage (at least Ty's first implementation thereof) does not.

There are a lot of things you'd have to tinker with to get that behavior.
You would probably be better off just using a storage that doesn't make
copies, or using ZPatterns to store selected attributes in such a storage
(such as a differently-backed ZODB, the filesystem, or an SQL or LDAP
database).

Maybe I didn't explain this clearly enough.  Let me write some quick
pseudocode:


class Catalog (Persistent):
  finished_changes = None   # Mapping: {path -> (object, adding)}
  unfinished_changes = None # Same as above
  tid = None# Transaction ID

  def catalogObject(self, ob, path):
unf = self.unfinished_changes
if unf is None: self.unfinished_changes = unf = {}
unf[path] = (ob, 1)

  def uncatalogObject(self, path):
unf = self.unfinished_changes
if unf is None: self.unfinished_changes = unf = {}
unf[path] = (ob, 0)

  def searchResults(self, ...):
self.finishChanges()
# ... Perform search ...
return results

  def finishChanges(self):
unf = self.unfinished_changes
if unf is not None:
  fin = self.finished_changes
  if fin is None or self._p_serial != self.tid:
# Create finished_changes if not yet created
# and clear it if we're in a different transaction
# from the last time finished_changes was changed.
self.finished_changes = fin = {}
self.tid = self._p_serial
  for path, (ob, adding) in unf.items():
if adding: self.addToIndexes(ob, path)
else: self.removeFromIndexes(path)
fin[path] = (ob, adding)
  self.unfinished_changes = None

  def __getstate__(self):
# Called during transaction commit.
self.finishChanges()

[Zope-dev] How to return downloadable content from Python Method

2001-06-08 Thread Blandford, Simon [BSS Audio UK]



I am compressing 
files which need to be uncompressed inline before download. The DTML 
" calles a python method in the product which returns the 
uncompressed file data. Say this file is an MSWord document, how do I return 
this as a file to download? Presently, the browser just tries to display the 
binary file and makes a mess of it.

REQUEST['SCRIPT_NAME'] is the root of the Zope server. In a pure ZServer
environment, this is '/'. In a situation where the Zope server is running
behind another webserver, and is not at the root of that server,
SCRIPT_NAME represents the path to the Zope server.

For instance, if your Zope server is presented to the outside world as
'http://a.server.com/a/path/to/zope/' then SCRIPT_NAME will be
'/a/path/to/zope/', whereever you are in the Zope object hierarchy.

Thus, a version cookie is bound to the root of the Zope server. In your
case, it seems that Opera is ignoring the cookie path altogether, and
instead falls back on the default, which is the path of the Version object
itself.

See an earlier post on a different thread. Chris wrote that the license is 
BSDish and is therefore compatible with ZPL. This means that mxDateTime 
could be distributed with Zope.
