Phil, of course I know this. But my question/suggestion was little bit different. Try this: Eg. in a DTML Document ('pokus') put <dtml-var a>, and of course the variable 'a' is not in namespace to raise the error. When the Publisher tries to render Doc, the error is raised. See traceback at the end. And I would like to see in the traceback (it woul be the best) also this: Error occured in the line number 'nn' of object 'pokus' (DTML Document template) - or something similar. The information concerning the line number is the most important for me. And this I can't see in attached traceback.

Hi all, I would like to know if there is any possibility in Zope to see also the line number of zope rendered object when any error occurs? This would help me (and not only me) during debugging. I think this information could be at the beginning of traceback. If this already exists can you tell me how to show this and if not I would like to know your meaning of this.

Subclassing ExtensionClass in C (this time with a solution)
by James Henstridge 03 Mar '00

03 Mar '00

Last week I asked a question about subclassing ExtensionClasses in C, but no one seemed to know how to do it. I then tried asking Jim Fulton about it, but he hasn't responded yet. So I decided to sit down and try to add the functionality myself. I am posting it here as some people on the list expressed an interest. I have tried to keep to the style of the current code, so those who have used ExtensionClass should be able to do Extension Subclasses in C without too much problem. Also, the modification is backward compatible (both source and binary), so it shouldn't break any current code. The one place where the programmer has to be careful is in making the size and layout of the instance structure of the new class is compatible with its base classes. I didn't include the checks done when subclassing from python, as you may want to have more than one non-pure mixin base class, or to extend the size of the instance structure in the subclass. To define a new Extension Subclass, follow the same steps as for a normal ExtensionClass, but instead of using PyExtensionClass_Export, use PyExtensionClass_ExportSubclass. This new function is similar to PyExtensionClass_Export, except that it takes an extra argument -- a tuple of base classes. The function takes ownership of the tuple. In cases where you only want to do single inheritance, there is a convenience routine called PyExtensionClass_ExportSubclassSingle. Its last argument is the PyExtensionClass structure for the base class. I have also attached a test module called TESC that tests out subclassing in C. Running it gives output something like: >>> import TESC >>> a = TESC.Cls() >>> b = TESC.Subcls() >>> a.m1(), a.m2() ('m1 of Cls called', 'm2 of Cls called') >>> b.m1(), b.m2(), b.m3() ('m1 of Subcls called', 'm2 of Cls called', 'm3 of Subcls called') I have tested this module a fair amount, and it doesn't seem to introduce any problems with existing code, and is a fairly clean modification (I could have made the change a little cleaner, but that would have broken binary compatibility). So I was wondering if my patch could be integrated into the official ExtensionClass distribution. I am sure it is of use to more people than just me.

problems with TM.py
by Pavlos Christoforou 03 Mar '00

03 Mar '00

Hello everyone - I am having problems withZope's Transaction manage which think it might be buggy. TM.py defines _registered as a class variable which seems to hold the state of an instance (whether it is registered with the transaction manager or not). method _register() registers the instance with the TM depending on the content of the _registered attribute. this however seems to have the additional effect to set the instance as changed and therefore and therefore a new version is stored in the ZODB. Additionally as _registered is defined as a class variable it is shared among threads and therefore one thread can interfere with the state of another. I have changed all references to _registered in TM.py to _v_registered and my problem (creating new versions for every call to FSSession) is solved, but I am not sure what other classes use TM.py. Also I am thinking of changing _v_registered to an instance attribute instead of a class attribute. Any thoughts?? Is it a bug of TM.py DC has promised many times to publish their model of the transaction manager and maybe a few usage comments ... which will save us *a lot* of time. TIA Pavlos

ANNOUNCE: ZScheduler 1st alpha release
by Loren Stafford 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

With some trepidation (because it's my first Python/Zope/OO product) I'd like to announce availablity to developers of the first alpha release of ZScheduler. ZScheduler is a Zope product that does event scheduling for Zope applications -- similar to what cron does for Unix applications. You define a special kind of DTML method and specify when you want that method to run. When the specified time arrives, ZScheduler calls the method. Be advised that this product was functional for the first time yesterday, has been subject to light testing on Win98 only, and is known to be fragile under certain conditions (like if you manually delete the schedule or items in the schedule while it's running). Run it only in a laboratory environment, not on any production systems. That said, I hope you will try out this preliminary version and let me know how I can make it more useful as a basis for event scheduling in Zope. I'd also like to hear what kind of applications you find it useful for. And, of course, should you find any bugs, let me know. http://www.zope.org/Members/lstaffor/ZScheduler Many thanks to Martijn Pieters, for the initial design and code base, and to Martijn and others on this list for help during development. -- Thanks -- Loren

Site-Access Problem
by Martin Grönemeyer 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

Hello, we have some strange problems with the "SiteAccess"-Product. We are building up three web-applications on one Zope-Server and three different domains. Everything works fine with the "Site-Access" but if you have more than 5 requests at one of the sites the speed gets very slow and you have to wait about 3-5 seconds to get back a simple dtml-document. We made some tests with the __no_before_traverse__ in the url and found that there isn't that speed-problem if we access the documents direct without use of the virtual-hosting. Has anybody the same problem or an idea how to solve this ? Martin

dynamic setting of attributes
by Robert Sander 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

Hi, it's me again.. I am working on a product with integrated caching mechanism. My product stores files with a MIME type, filename and content in an object with an unique ID. I do not want to use the filename as object IDs, because it is not unique. I have an index_html method that set the "Content-Type" header to the MIME type and returns the content, so that every browser should handle it correctly. The only disadvantage of this method is the loosing of the filename. I thought I could easily setattr(self, filename, self.index_html) but this results in a "Cannot pickle object" error. Any hints appreciated. Greeting -- Robert Sander www.gurubert.de
