I just checked 2 files, session.txt and session.py, into http://svn.zope.org/Sandbox/J1m/ These provide several features, most of which are of particular interest here: - An api to save session credentials independent of login, - saving sha-encoded passwords, - logout api - having an optional additional credential of a user domain, (probably not of general interest) Jim -- Jim Fulton Zope Corporation

[Proposal] Allow (almost) arbitrary ids in Zope2
by Dieter Maurer 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

= Introduction = Zope2 allows only a very restricted set of characters in `ObjectManager` ids -- a subset of the characters which can be used unescaped in urls. Neither non-ASCII characters are allowed nor some quite important ASCII characters. When Zope is used outside the english language domain and accessed via WebDAV, then the restriction to ASCII characters only is heavily felt by WebDAV users, as they are accustomed to use readable names (with non-ASCII characters) in their file systems. They cannot understand why such objects cannot be transfered into Zope (especially given the most unhelpful error messages of some WebDAV clients). The limited set of allowed ASCII characters leads to other problems: e.g. email addresses cannot be used as ids as `@` is disallowed. = Feature = Allow almost arbitrary characters in ids. A few restrictions remain: * ids cannot start with a '_' because they would not be traversable * ids cannot contain '/' because Zope code uses `urllib.[un]quote` on complete urls (a bug, [un]quoting must only happen on the individual pieces, never the complete object) and `quote` by default interpretes `/` as safe (not to be quoted). Allowing '/' would risk too many breakages. Allowing non-ASCII characters in ids poses a risk, as the uri standard (RFC 2396) does not allow to specify the encoding used in urls. There is only HTML 4 which recommends that url components are first encoded as utf-8 and then url escaped as necessary. But this recommendation seems not to be widely used. However, when urls are constructed in a client (rather than directly fetched from an HTML source or given by a user) e.g. in Java or !JavaScript, then it is not unlikely that the recommendation is followed (as these systems work internally with unicode and need to use some encoding for url construction). I also have seen a client (the MS WebDAV client) to interpret ("binary") urls in some encoding and then recode them with utf-8. I see two options: * Zope follows the HTML recommendation (and uses utf-8 in its generated urls). This implies that either ids need to be unicode or their encoding known (i.e. specifiable). * Zope does not follow the HTML recommendation and uses "binary" ids (with some unknown encoding) but uses some heuristics to handle HTML 4 compatibly generated urls. As I am mainly concerned with WebDAV access and the WebDAV clients I have seen so far use the binary id interpretation, I favor the second option. -- Dieter

zope 3 docs overview
by Simon Michael 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi all, I made a first pass at surveying current Zope 3 docs, at http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/DocsOverview . I think this is more complete and current than other lists I've seen. I hope to keep improving it and use it to guide or possibly just replace other wiki docs. Feedback and help would be welcome. Best, -Simon

Setting the size of a zope.formlib's schema html input
by Marcelo de Moraes Serpa 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hello, This might sound lik a stupid question, but I couldn't find any simple solution or answer for this anywhere else, so hopefully someone in this list knows the answer. I'm using zope.formlib to generate a simple contact form. It is simple and effective. But the framework complicates for simple things such as setting the size of a textfield. I don't want all the textfields to be of the same size - I want that, depending on the field, the size of the html input will vary. And that's exactly what I couldn't do as of yet. Does anyone know how could I set the size of a textfield? Take this as example: Telefone = schema.TextLine(title=_(u"Telefone para Contato"), required=True) Is there an attribute like size or something? Thanks in advance, Marcelo.

Jython, Zope and GSOC
by Frank Wierzbicki 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi all, My name is Frank Wierzbicki, and I am the project lead of Jython. I know Georgy has posted here about his proposal to look at porting parts of Zope to Jython. If it is accepted I am the most likely primary mentor for this. I have emailed Martijn Faassen about the following, but I thought I would post here as well: I'm looking for a Zope person who would be willing to put themselves down as a backup mentor for Georgy's proposal -- someone who is willing to be the point person for questions that I or Georgy might have on Zope details (or can direct us to the person to ask) -- Since I work on Jython full-time, the backup person would be pretty unlikely to become primary, but it would be important that this person be available for our questions. so -- anybody interested? Thanks, -Frank

testing a meta-egg
by Adam GROSZER 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

Hello, Is there a sane way (or recipe) out there that makes testing a meta-eggs easier? As I see now, I'll need to enter all dependent eggs as: [test] recipe = zc.recipe.testrunner eggs = my-meta-egg [test] dep-egg-1 [test] dep-egg-2 [test] ... zope.interface [??test??] Seems like buildout "knows" which eggs should be there. This would be needed for a pre-installation test on the target system. We need to make sure that all tests pass before going into production. Any help is appreciated. -- Best regards, Adam GROSZER mailto:agroszer@gmail.com -- Quote of the day: Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. - Euripides
