I just really want to ring in as being totally opposed to the scheduler running INSIDE Zope. The Python interpreter lock is already becoming a burden in various places, and we've carefully danced around it to keep performance reasonable. Additional tasks (which might be VERY CPU intensive, and heavy on the Python code) would only make this problem worse. I think a ZClient external application that manipulates the database directly would be much more interesting, and much lower load on the Zope process. This doesn't mean (as I said in another message) that you can't store the configuration information in Zope, it just means the code path isn't inside of Zope. Chris -- Chris Petrilli

Or, we can >set up a list and start jerking off. ;) Okidoki, let's do this then. I'll move this thread to Zope-dev too. First some jerking to get things straight: I still think we should do the scheduler with a queue, we can always convert to multiple threads later. Let's keep it simple and expand. Scheduled Event objects are to be based on DTML Methods with some extra properties to set up frequence, etc. The Scheduler is a Folder object that only allows Event objects to be added. At least, I haven't thought of any scenario where it would be useful to add anything else. I am still thinking of a queue implementation, where worker threads pick off events to execute. Events are inserted into the queue based on who's next to be executed. An event has only one reference in the queue, and is put back on after execution (so long running methods that are scheduled to run every second won't get executed that often). -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------

Zope RPC
by Paul Prescod 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

I'm using RPC. I've defined an identity function function: def foo( anarg ): return anarg When I call it with foo( 5 ) I get back (<mime...>, '5') Is it supposed to cast all arguments to string? When I call it with foo( (5,3) ) I get back a complicated HTML document where 5 is in the title and 3 is buried in the body. If I call it as foo((5,3,4)) it returns '(5,3,4)' Paul Prescod

Re: [Zope-dev] Access to class attributes in ZClasses
by Kevin Dangoor 26 Aug '99

You could make a property sheet for those attributes and simply not make a management tab for that propertysheet. I think this would effectively do what you want.

Access to class attributes in ZClasses
by Mark Millikan 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

Zs: Is it possible to either modify class attributes defined in (python) base classes or create class attributes in ZClasses -- not in instances of ZClasses -- but the ZClass itself? These don't need to be defined as properties for use in the standard management interface, just found in the namespace.

UserDb authentication problem
by Neil.G.Miller.98＠Alum.Dartmouth.ORG 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

Hey, I seem to be having an authentication problem with UserDb and users logging in from IE > 4.0 and lynx. As far as I can tell the problem is that with UserDb an authentication domain (or realm as IE calls them) is not set. User Folders which specify "Zope" as the domain work fine. I've looked around the source trying to figure out where this is specified, but I haven't had much luck since I'm new to both Python and Zope. If anyone out there has encountered this or can offer ideas on where I might find the relavent piece of code, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, -n

Another zope suggestion

Would it be possible to have a Zope feature to change the Python path from Zope? Paul Prescod

Zope suggestion
by Paul Prescod 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

zope 1.x seemed to announce when it is up and running and log various messages. Zope 2.x seems to be silent by default. I prefer the old way. At the least, it would be great if it would announce that it is finished loading and ready to take requests. Paul Prescod

Zope Bug #432 Can't Add ZClass in Product Management
by Mark Millikan 26 Aug '99

26 Aug '99

Zopists: I noticed a bug report (number and name as per subject) that sounds like the same problem I have found: If the 'XMLDocument' product is in the .../Products/ directory attempts to add a ZClass to a product fail. Editing the XMLDocument/__init__.py files initialize method so that context.registerBaseClass is only called once (for XMLDocument.XMLDocument) allows ZClasses to be added to a product. I don't think this is due to particulars of the XMLDocument product, In a product I am working on the presence of more than one 'context.registerBaseClass' call in the 'initialize; method also causes problems. The behavior is the same under both zope 2.0.0b4 and b5 on redhat/mandrake 6.0 with kernel 2.2.9. Should it be possible to register more than one python base class in a single product?
