December 2001 - Zope-Dev

Q: Anyone want to sprint in Fredericksburg next week?
by Paul Everitt 21 Dec '01

21 Dec '01

Howdy. This is a last-second email aimed at Washington-area Zope developers that might want to do a Zope3 extreme programming sprint with Jim next week, here in Fredericksburg. The dates are any two of Dec 26/27/28. Good knowledge of Python and Zope development required. Please reply to me today if you might be interested, and sorry for the last-minute notice. --Paul

That's still the plan - ripping along through the todo list at the moment. I'm just double-quadruple-triple checking the safety of the patch to make solaris threading not suck as a backport. Note that it's not going to be a beta, but a release candidate - it shouldn't be necessary to have a beta for a bugfix release.

Hi, I want to implement a registration flow process where the submitted = information would be approved before somebody is made a member. It's = just like the registration process for registering into www.zope.org. Can somebody point me to good resource where I can find this = information. Thanks, Peeyush.

Hi Matt and other zopers, thanks for your help. I've tested other combinations, also with Zope cvs unreleased version at cvs.zope.org, and the test script (province) run well if it's the only script in the ZODB. But inserting it in a CMF 1.1 skin, my Zope (2.4.x, 2.5.x, cvs version, with python 2.1,2.1.1,2.2b2 with and without pymalloc and cycle-gc) auto restart.. with a minor frequency.. but auto restart. The old zbytecode in 2.3.x PythonScripts can help us? It's possible to inactivate the RestrictedPython compiler in a Zope 2.4.x/2.5.x ? The security problem is under control for now (obviously, just for portal with predefined and secure contents editable by users). I think inactivation can be a solution for now, waiting for definitive, well running version of RestrictedPython engine. What do you think about?

Re: [Zope-dev] disabling gc does not necessarily hide memory corruption

>>> Chris McDonough wrote > This behavior is with the patches to the compiler package that were the > genesis of this thread? No, prior to that. I posted something about it to zope-dev an age or six ago - it seemed like the RestrictedPython compiler had mungo mungo numbers of cycles, and we found we couldn't run a zeo client on a nogc python for more than about an hour. ah - here's the message I sent: Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 18:10:27 +1000 To: zope-dev(a)zope.org From: Anthony Baxter <anthony(a)interlink.com.au> Subject: RestrictedPython under no-GC 2.1 seems to leak a hell of a lot. Running current Zope 2.4 CVS under python 2.1 built --without-cycle-gc, I'm seeing an absolutely _enormous_ amount of leaked objects in RestrictedPython. This is on one of our ZEO clients, after 45 minutes of runtime. The deltas are after 5 minutes.

RE: [Zope-dev] Can't access ZClass object unless superuser
by Joshua Lanza 19 Dec '01

Steve rocks! It wasn't actually the Ownership, but when I looked at the object I realized that I did not expose the Ownership tab, or the Security tab for the objects that I had created from the ZClass. When I created those views, I found that the permissions for the objects were not set correctly. I don't know how that happened, since I could not even see the permissions in order to edit them. I assume that they acquired those permissions from somewhere, but far better to see them make sure they're right. 'View' and acquire permissions had been disabled. Thanks again!

I recommend that you ensure that each object you're having problems with is owned. Look on the "Ownership" tab and see whether it is owned. -- Steve Alexander

No, unfortunately, I haven't deleted any users. But thanks for responding :) The permissions settings cascade downward through the directory structure, so I would think that if I grant Anonymous every permission in every folder and every method all the way down through the ZClass definition and then do the same for the page that uses the ZClass, it should allow Anonymous access. I'm using the latest stable release of CMF and Zope on Windex, and not interacting with IIS at all.

You'll need to take ownership of them. -- Steve Alexander
