Yo, I just stumbled on a bug in the python scripting parameter passing. It seems that under certain conditions, the actual parameters are ignored, and the default parameters are always used. It is best shown by the following example: 0) create a python script with the following source: ## Script (Python) "buggy" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters=a = 'default_a', b = 'default_b', c = 'default_c' ##title=exposes a bug in 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 ## print a print b print c return printed 1) in the ZMI click on the "test" tab and fill in the values: parameter value a a b b c c 2) click on "run script" 3) the result page is: default_a default_b default_c that's not what it should be. I quickly browsed the bug collector and did not found a related issue, but before I file a bug report, I'd like to know what versions are affected. I don't have the time nor the desire to install all versions and test this. So if you guys could take a minute to test it on your version. tia, Romain Slootmaekers.

Zope 2.7.0 rc2 + python 2.3.3 problem
by Florent Guillaume 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

I should have copied zope-dev, sorry. -------- Original Message -------- To: zope-coders(a)zope.org I'm having a weird failure here using Zope 2.7.0 rc2 and python 2.3.3 (Debian). When I execute a python script with the code: foo = range(1.0) I get this: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: unsubscriptable object Traceback (innermost last): * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 104, in publish * Module warnings, line 57, in warn * Module warnings, line 63, in warn_explicit Instead of the expected: DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float I don't know if it's python's fault or Zope's... But I guess python assumes too much about something as it fails in its standard libraries. If i use the code for i in range(1.0): pass The traceback is a bit longer: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: unsubscriptable object Traceback (innermost last): * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 100, in publish * Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply * Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 40, in call_object * Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 306, in __call__ * Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 343, in _bindAndExec * Module Products.PythonScripts.PythonScript, line 318, in _exec * Module None, line 1, in testbug <PythonScript at /testbug> Line 1 * Module AccessControl.ZopeGuards, line 210, in next * Module warnings, line 57, in warn * Module warnings, line 63, in warn_explicit TypeError: unsubscriptable object Florent -- Florent Guillaume, Nuxeo (Paris, France) +33 1 40 33 79 87 http://nuxeo.com mailto:fg@nuxeo.com

[leadership/opensource] invitation to online survey
by Gianluca Bosco 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

Dear all, I have just put online a survey addressing the topic of "leadership in the open-source environment". Basically, my objective is to identify the personal conceptions of good leadership that reside in the minds of the contributors, in terms of leaders' _behaviors_ and _characteristics_. What is a good open-source project leader, from the contributor's point of view? To what extent, those personal believes are shared among developers? Can the contributor's national cultural belonging and level of experience in contributing to open-source projects explain such differences in their idea of what a good leader is? I would really appreciate your participation to the survey! Contribution (*completely* anonymous) consists in rating a list of statements that may be used to describe the behaviors of an open-source leader. It will take around ten minutes - there aren't any "time-consuming" open ended questions;) Following, the link to the survey: http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?id=52191 If you are interested, I will not miss to email you a link to the final report, when ready ;) (approx, a couple of months from now) Thank you in advance, and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments :) Gianluca Bosco g.bosco(a)GETRIDOFTHISinwind.it Denmark Technical University Department of manufacturing engineering and management
