Greetings List Lurkers, The good news... My beloved wife managed to get rid of what I am calling "Coughing Covid".
While this has been going on for some weeks I only on Saturday got the inspiration to test her after a week, and sure enough the Covid test came back NEGATIVE... That said, my test moments ago came back POSITIVE... Consequently, we cannot meet at the York Branch Library this evening. As our present Winter snows persist, this is the time for more computer and software tinkering... The season is upon us! Unfortunately this is the flu season as well... I intend to continue to attempt to encapsulate my Zope2 habit into a Docker (or Podman :^) container the trick here is to get Zope running in a container with the correct versions of Python Pickle. Progress to date has most to do with 1. Container management loading and persistence 2. Getting the right version of Python running and finally... 3. Coerce zope to run. 4. Load the right data.fs file... To understand this particular pickle, you got to get the underlying concept of the Z Object Programming Environment which is that Zope stores everything in a Python Pickle. Very cool. The problem comes when you switch versions of Python. Basically I am having a case of "versionitus" in the Zope system I must have version 2.10 of Zope's Python Pickle function. It appears that the current data.fs file may be running under Python 2.6, not 2.4... So I keep grinding. We are getting better at curating old versions of Python... That said, come in remotely and bring this and any other problems and questions and we will do our thing! This evening as we do, thanks to "Coughing Covid", we shall use jit.si/bosi to connect.
