Mini-tutorials on the Zope component architecture and on zc.buildout at PyCon
by Jim Fulton 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

At PyCon: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/HomePage I'll be giving a tutorial that combines two separate mini-tutorials: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/TutorialsAM#AM7 The first mini-tutorial is on the Zope Component Architecture. The Zope Component Architecture, which isn't tied to the Zope Web application server, provides mechanisms for assembling, extending, and integrating applications using loosely-coupled parts. The tutorial will explain why one would want to use a component system, including when to and when *not* to use components. It will provide a high-level introduction to the main features of the Zope component architecture, comparing it to other Python solutions to the same kinds of problems the Component Architecture addresses. The second mini-tutorial provides an introduction to zc.buildout. zc.buildout is a system for automating the assembly and deployment of applications having many parts. It also provides a mechanism for installing and assembling Python eggs in ways that are especially helpful during development and when creating larger applications. The tutorial will explain and show examples of using zc.buildout to - Create a sandbox for experimenting with packages without installing them into a system Python. - Create development environments for working on packages. - Create system with multiple applications. To get the most from zc.buildout requires some knowledge of using and creating eggs. The mini tutorial will provide a lazy programmer's introduction to using and creating eggs. To find out more see: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/TutorialsAM#AM7 Hurry! PyCon early-bird registration ends soon. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered!

Reminder: Early Bird Registration for PyCon Ending Soon
by Jeff Rush 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Greetings. As the co-chair for the upcoming Python conference, being held in Dallas (Addison) Texas, I want to remind folk to register before early bird registration prices end. The event is the fifth international Python Conference, being held Feb 23-25, 2007 at the Marriott-Quorum in Addison Texas, with early-bird registration ending **Jan 15**. The conference draws approximately 400-500 attendees from diverse backgrounds such as scientists from national and medical labs, college/K-12 educators, web engineers and the myriad of IT developers and programming hobbyists. Those new to the Python language are welcome, and we're offering a half-day "Python 101" tutorial on the day before the conference, Thursday Feb 22 to help you get up to speed and better enjoy the rest of the conference. We have a great selection of talks this year, some of which that are relevant to Zope are: - Web Frameworks Panel - Introduction to Zope 3 - The Component Architecture - Panel: State of Zope - WSGI: An Introduction - Using Python Eggs - Distributing your project with Python Eggs - Half-Day Tutorial: zc.buildout and the Zope Component Architecture - Half-Day Tutorial: How to Document a Python Open Source Project Being run by the Python community as a non-profit event, the conference strives to be inexpensive, with registration being only $260 (or $195 if you register prior to Jan 15th), with a further discount for students. On the day before the conference we are running a full day of classroom tutorials (extra charge per class) and then after the conference is a free four-days of sprints, which are informal gatherings of programmers to work together in coding on various projects. Sprints are excellent opportunities to do agile pair-programming side-by-side with experienced programmers and make new friends. Other activities are lightning talks, which are 5-minute presentations to show off a cool technology or spread the word about a project, open space talks, which are spontaneous gatherings around a topic and, new this year, a Python Lab where experienced and novice programmers will work together to solve challenging problems and then present their solutions. The conference is also running four keynote talks by leaders in the programming field, with a special focus on education this year: "The Power of Dangerous Ideas: Python and One Laptop per Child" by Ivan Krstic, senior member of the One Laptop per Child project "Premise: eLearning does not Belong in Public Schools" by Adele Goldberg, of SmallTalk fame "Python 3000" by Guido van Rossum, creator of Python "The Importance of Programming Literacy" by Robert M. "r0ml" Lefkowitz, a frequent speaker at O'Reilly conferences I believe you will find the conference educational and enjoyable. More information about the conference along with the full schedule of presentations with abstracts, is available online: http://us.pycon.org/ Thanks for any help you can give in spreading the word, Jeff Rush Co-Chair PyCon 2007

Silva 1.5.9 Released
by Kit BLAKE 17 Dec '06

17 Dec '06

Infrae has just released version 1.5.9 of the Silva content management system. This is a maintenance release that improves performance, exposes Firefox spellcheck capability, and fixes various minor issues. Changes in Silva and related products An abridged list of changes follows. For complete details of the fixed issues see HISTORY.txt in the packages. Silva - Changed calls from getMetdata to getMetadataValue where possible, resulting in a significant performance gain. - Fixed unicode bug in Indexers. - Fixed a number of minor bugs. SilvaMetadata - Bugfix for empty strings in aqcuirable metadata fields blocking acquisition. Thanks to Nico Grubert for the bug report and fix. Kupu - When images exist in a document and the author scales one, the display in Kupu can be cached by the browser and doesn't update properly. The editor frame is now reloadable with the right-mouse button so authors can force a reload. - Previously Kupu had a right-mouse button menu. This has been disabled, with the intention of exposing spellcheck functionality that is built into Firefox 2.0. This means, if you are using FF 2.0, text in Silva is automatically checked. Dictionaries for all major languages are simple to install. SilvaLayout - The modification time shown when viewing a folder is now taken from the default document. What is Silva? Silva is a powerful CMS for organizations that manage complex websites. Content is stored in clean and futureproof XML, independent of layout and presentation. Features include versioning, workflow system, integral visual editor (Kupu), content reuse, sophisticated access control, multi-site management, extensive import/export facilities, fine-grained templating, and hi-res image storage and manipulation. For more complete information, see the Silva Product Pages at http://infrae.com/products/silva/. Download The package can be downloaded from: http://infrae.com/download/Silva. Links to developer mailing lists, the Silva issue tracker, and info about SVN access can be found on the Silva intro page. Contact FMI contact Eric Casteleijn, eric at infrae com, +31 10 243 7051.

A new templating system available!
by Chris Withers 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

Hi All, I'm proud to announce that after almost a year's development, the first public release of Twiddler is available! Twiddler is a simple but flexible templating system for dynamically generating textual output. It comes with bindings for Zope 2 and should easily slot into a Zope 3 view in place of a ZPT. The key features are: - No need to learn a templating language. - As simple as possible while still catering for all possible templating operations. - Configurable input parsing so source can be html, xml, plain text or anything you write an input parser for. - Configurable output rendering so output can be rendered to a unicode string, an email, or anything you write an output renderer for. You can find out more and download from here: http://www.simplistix.co.uk/software/python/twiddler If you wish to ask questions, pass judgement or get help, please do so in the following mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/twiddler This is the first public release, so I'm looking for help with the following: - Finding anything that should be possible in a templating system but isn't with Twiddler - Packaging it up for easier distribution. I know nothing about eggs, distutils, etc, and so could do with help to package Twiddler so that it can be more easily installed. Finally, here's a couple of quick examples: >>> from twiddler import Twiddler >>> t = Twiddler('''<body> ... <div id="title">A title</div> ... <select name="items"> ... <option id="item">An item</option> ... </select> ... </body>''') >>> t['title'].replace('My title') >>> r = t['item'].repeater() >>> for i in range(1,4): ... r.repeat('Item '+str(i),value=i,name=False) >>> print t.render() <body> <div id="title">My title</div> <select name="items"> <option id="item" value="1">Item 1</option> <option id="item" value="2">Item 2</option> <option id="item" value="3">Item 3</option> </select> </body> >>> from twiddler.input.plaintext import PlainText >>> t = Twiddler('''To: $to ... <item>An item</item> ... ''',input=PlainText) >>> t['to'].replace('John Smith') >>> r = t['item'].repeater() >>> for i in range(1,4): ... r.repeat('Item '+str(i),value=i,name=False) >>> print t.render() To: John Smith Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Thanks for reading this far, I hope you enjoy it! cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

2nd edition of Zope 3 book available!
by Philipp von Weitershausen 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

I'm proud to announce that -- as the first Zope book ever -- my book titled "Web Component Development with Zope 3" has been released as a second edition and is now available from online and local bookstores. Like the first edition, the new book is targeted at all web developers who want to get into Zope 3 or learn more about Zope 3 and Zope 3 technology than they already know. It's accompanied by an extensive example application that's extended throughout the book. *Unlike* the first edition, the second edition is... - up-to-date. The book covers the latest Zope 3 release, Zope 3.3, which has only been released recently. All chapters, all examples, and the appendices have been revised to match the most current Zope 3 codebase. - bigger. Five (!) new chapters, all describing new features in Zope, have been added, many others were extended notably. In total, the book is more than 80 pages thicker than the old one -- at the same price as the old one. - better. With the second edition, the book has been completely revamped. My excellent reviewers from the Zope and Plone community have done a tremendous good job at improving the book's language and technical details. I also improved the didactics in various places. - for you! No matter if you're a Zope 3 developer or just starting to get into Zope 3, I suggest you keep the book under your pillow. Even as a Zope 2 or Plone developer, you'd be surprised how much Zope 3 technology you can now use in Zope 2 -- and this book tells you how! This makes it a must-buy especially for Plone developers as Plone 3.0 is using Zope 3 components for all new development. Find out more at http://worldcookery.com. Philipp -- http://worldcookery.com -- Professional Zope documentation and training 2nd edition of Web Component Development with Zope 3 is now shipping!
