RFV: Unicode in Zope 2
by Jim Fulton 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

A few weeks ago, I mentioned 3 big things I'd like to see for merging Zope 2 and Zope 3: - Common Publisher - Common Security frameworks - Common ZPT implementations I forgot a very important need: - Common approach to Unicode In particular, In Zope 3, all text is stored and managed as Unicode. The publisher decodes request data and encodes response data. The vast majority of application and library code can ignore encoding issues. (The exceptions are applications and frameworks that need to exhange text with non-Unicode-aware external systems.) This has provided great simplifications and allowed us to avoid common pitfals from mixing Unicode and encoded text. We need to migrate Zope 2 to use a similar strategy. We need volunteers to brainstorm how this can be done and make one or more proposals. This is likely a prerequisite for finishing the publisher and ZPT work.

ZPublisher, ZPT and XHTML
by Andreas Jung 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Another usecase where Zope does not play nicely: You can create a ZPT with XHTML content where the content is encoded as UTF-8 (which the corresponding encoding declaration within the XML preamble). When you redefine the zpublisher_default_encoding Zope might convert the UTF8 body of the ZPT to some other encoding. This leads to two possible problems: a) the new encoding is not available from the content-type header and b) the encoding inside the XML preamble still contains the original encoding...both is wrong...any ideas how to deal with that problem (perhaps the problem is only a constructed problem?) -aj

optimised python
by Alan Milligan 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm reconsidering the way we RPM package byte-code compiled python, and although I suspect optimised python is a bit of an anacronysm, I thought I'd check with the list ;) If one was to start Zope with python -O, then it would look for (and generate) .pyo files instead of .pyc's in all the Products right? Would there be any performance gain by this change? How much? Is it worth me doing byte-compiles with -O and starting Zope's interpreter in this mode?
