buildout's buildout seems broken (tests also)
by Christian Theune 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi, does anybody know how the tests for zc.buildout are supposed to be bootstrapped/configured? The information that I have is: - checkout zc.buildout - run `python dev.cfg` - run tests I noticed that the buildout.cfg of zc.buildout contains sections to create test runners for Python 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5. When running the `dev.cfg` it runs buildout and fails with the following error: Develop: '/home/ctheune/Development/zc.buildout/.' While: Installing. Getting section test2.3. Initializing part test2.3. Getting section python2.3. Error: The referenced section, 'python2.3', was not defined. I tweaked the buildout a bit to ignore the Python versions so I could at least run the tests for Python 2.4, which in turn gave me a couple other errors that I don't think are related to the buildout configuration. See the attached log for the specific errors.

zope.app.security 3.5.1 ZCML changes
by Fred Drake 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Someone changed the ZCML that registers the "gopherlib" module (why???) to this:  <module module="gopherlib" zcml:condition="installed regex"> <allow attributes="send_selection send_query" /> </module> In trying to avoid a Python 2.5 deprecation warning (not removal), this code imports and causes a deprecation warning for a module that was declared obsolete in Python 1.5 (yes, that's a "1"!). Isn't this just a little bit insane? I think the condition should be removed for zope.app.security 3.5.2, and the registration of gopherlib should be removed for 3.6.0. -Fred -- Fred L.

ZPublisher XMLRPC decoding
by Christian Theune 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hi, the publisher normally converts the arguments given with a request into a type that is easy to use. For example unicode conversion happens automatically. XMLRPC defines specific helper types to represent objects for the XMLRPC wire protocol. Automatic conversion happens for all XMLRPC objects except DateTime. Python 2.5 adds a flag to various functions that allows signalling whether DateTime objects should conform to datetime.datetime objects which I think is a good idea in general. zope.publisher could be changed to do this even for Python 2.4 I guess.

created z3c.saconfig
by Martijn Faassen 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Hi there, I'd like to announce my contribution for the expanding list of options for SQLAlchemy integration for Zope 3. I've just implemented a package called z3c.saconfig which implements a utility-based way to set up SQLAlchemy's scoped session, as discussed recently on this. The package currently offers a way to configure SQLAlchemy sessions with a utility. This allows SQLAlchemy sessions to potentially differ per application. Currently if you would want to implement such utilities you're still on your own, but I intend to add support for this soon. Hermann What is in there already is support for a global utility as discussed with Brian Sutherland. I intend to add support for a local utility soon, inspired by some code sent to me by Hermann Himmelbauer. Anyway, the README.txt should explain more: http://svn.zope.org/z3c.saconfig/trunk/src/z3c/saconfig/README.txt Feedback is welcome! Regards, Martijn

buildout on Windows
by Chris Withers 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Hey All, I'm trying to run a plone-ish buildout on Windows for a customer, currently getting this: creating zope.proxy copying zope/proxy\proxy.h -> zope.proxy error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed, you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py. While: Installing zope2. Do binary eggs exist for zope.proxy and friends? If not, how do I build 'em and upload them for others to use? If they do exist, how do I get buildout to use them rather than trying to build from source on my system? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
