z3c.recipe.tag: ignore imports as tags
by Christian Theune 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi, I just noticed that running ctags-exuberant with the option '--python-kinds=-i' improves the usefulness of the vi tag file for me a lot. You can set this as the default for ctags in your home directory ($HOME/.ctags) but maybe it's a good idea to control this in the recipe.

pypi access for zope.app.authentication and zope.password
by Jan-Wijbrand Kolman 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hello, Could someone grant me pypi access to zope.app.authentication and zope.password? My pypi username is "jw". For compatibility reasons the upcoming Grok-1.0.x bugfix release cannot jump to a newer zope.app.authentication version, but I'd still like to add support for the SSHA password manager. My plan is to backport the SSHA password manager to the zope.app.authentication 3.4 branch and make a 3.4.5 release (I realize this is not really a bugfix, but adding features to a x.y.Z release but I think (hope) that's ok for now). Coincidentally I found a bug[1] in the SSHA password manager that I'd like to fix and release to make this pw manager actually useful. Could someone grant me pypi access for this package too? Unless there're objections of course... thanks and regards, jw [1] http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.devel/24473

zope.password SSHAPasswordManager cannot handle unicode?
by Jan-Wijbrand Kolman 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi, When I define a principal in my site.zcml and have it use the SSHAPasswordManager, I cannot login as a "TypeError: character mapping must return integer, None or unicode" is raised in the checkPassword() methid. It took me quite a while to figure out what was going on... The site.zcml contains the encoded password for the principal that will be "contained" in the global principalregistry. When trying to login, the encoded password is taken from the principal object created from the information in site.zcml, and it makes sense that the encoded password will be an unicode string. However the checkPassword() method of the SSHAPasswordManager cannot handle unicode or, more specifically, it will call base64.urlsafe_b64decode() on it that cannot handle unicode strings (or at least not in this case). I my assesment is correct, then I must conclude no one is using the SSHAPasswordManager? But maybe there's something I don't understand about what is going wrong here... Anyway, I guess I could fix this by have the encoded password encoded to ascii first before passing it to uurlsafe_b64decode. I think this would be safe, as the encoded password would not contain non-ascii characters anyway, right? regards, jw
