 Actually I have wondered something about that... Why does it always show

lib/python/version.txt

Just edit it.

This smells like a bug to me.  If the software is compiled from
source, I expect it to tell me what system/software it was
*actually* compiled with, and in the case of python *actually*
running on, not some string hardcoded into a text file.  If
the string is not dynamically generated, I'd rather it not
lie; ie: it should just give the Zope version.

 What does hoping that EC will go away soon mean? I thought that
 ExtensionClass was pretty
 fundamental to Zope?? Does this just mean that the limitation on magic
 protocols will go away soon, or is there some URL I should look at re
 replacement for EC?

EC are a fix for a problem that shouldn't exist in Python
(inability to inherit from classes defined in C/C++).

By hoping that EC will go away soon, I assume they mean the
PythonLabs folks are working on fixing this for once in Python
itself. Right?

Cool stuff.

I have a couple of comments, though.  For future ref., should I post them
to the Collector?

- lib/python/Products/PluginIndexes/__init__.py is missing the ZPL

- why is Catalog.gif in Products/ZCatalog and not in
  Products/ZCatalog/www like ZCatalog.gif?

- the version.txt in lib/python/ says:
  Zope 2.4.0a1 (source release, python 1.5.2, linux2)
  which sounds a bit funny in my ears...  Might be me, I dunno.

The biggest one is the fact that I can't build it, but I think that's a
problem with my Python installation.

Once I've got it up and running I might do some actual testing, which I'm
looking forward to! :)

2001-06-01 Thread sean . upton

My impression is that FileStorage implements a 32-bit id-type-thingy
somewhere (look at ZODB docs, I think there is something about this
somewhere), which limits it (in addition to the Linux kernel ext2 fs limit),
to  2GB.  With 7.5 GB, I'd use a more advanced storage like the new - well,
not quite released ;) - Berkeley (libdb3 based) storages, though I haven't
tried anything like that myself...  

Does anyone have any comments on the reliability of PartitionedFileStorage
in this regard as a temporary solution?  Is anyone using
PartitionedFileStorage in a production environment?

Hi Brian, hi all,

great to hear this.

Now comes a tricky question:

Suppose we are running a Linux Kernel 2.4.x and using the latest Python 2.x 
distribution. And supposing we can recompile all code if neccessary:

How large can a Data.fs grow until it breaks ?
We need to be able to store about 7.5 GBytes (note: Gigabytes) in the ZODB.
I 
would rather use the ZODB than a LocalFS 

Thanks in advance 
- Holger

FileStorage does *not* have a 2GB limit.  The only 2GB limit is the old

Perhaps I was looking at old docs, as the docs had indicated that
filestorage uses 32-bit position pointers; I'm guessing that this has since
changed...

That is correct.  The point is, ExtensionClass machinery will go away
but the functionality would remain, if Python changes in the future to
make it unnecessary.
