[Zope-dev] Attribute error: extends ...

2001-10-01 Thread Joachim Werner
Hi! Has anybody also had that with a Zope 2.4.1 instance (Linux)? It happens not only with Metapublisher (as in the example), but seems to occur quite randomly. It might be a problem with my local install, but even if it is, it should not happen (as I just have some custom Products installed)

I imagine that the group will decide rules on peer reviewing. For comparison, the Mozilla group has very elaborate rules for checkins, while Python has pretty much an innocent until proven guilty culture. (That is, you check something in, and if somebody complains, it gets removed.) I

2001-06-25 Thread Joachim Werner
Maybe you search python.org for Guido's metaclasses article. It tells that a Python class can be both a class and an instance and that this view has interesting applications. You focus on the class aspects of a ZClass (a pattern for creating instances providing them with basic common

Re: [Zope-dev] ZClass not in a Product

I do not agree with you: a ZClass is both an instance (you can manage, modify, delete) and a class (you can use as blueprint for object creation). O.k., I CAN manage/modify/delete a ZClass, but it still is (conceptually) a class, and only a class. You can manage/modify/delete Zope

[Zope-dev] Problems with Transparent Folder and Zope 2.3.3

Transparent Folders are used very often at iuveno. And we would like to do so in the future because they really provide an easy way to structure objects in folders. But with Zope 2.3.3 we get errors like that when we start an instance that uses Transparent Folders: Traceback (innermost last):

Re: [Zope-dev] ZClass not in a Product

Is there any good reason why a Product inside the ControlPanel is the only place a ZClass can exist? Why can't I have one in any folder? I think it is perfectly logical that ZClasses are located in the Products area. A folder is for instances of classes, and a ZClass is a class, not an

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

This is true in the ZODB, but can be complicated by acquisition. If an object can acquire itself, it can cause issues. Plus it becomes difficult to know whether objects are clones or just identical instances, although this can be mitigated by exposing their Python instance id. Acquisition
