ZServer HTTP 1.1 support
by Paul Winkler 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

I noticed this in ZServer/README.txt (zope 2.6.2): HTTP 1.1 support is ZServer is incomplete, though it should work for most HTTP 1.1 clients. Anybody know what specifically is "incomplete"? In particular, some people on my team asked me if zserver supports "persistent" connections, and I didn't know how to answer. I'm looking now at HTTPServer.py and the docstrings suggest that it does ... yes? no? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's RADIO FOOLISH POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE SQUID!

2.7 on Windows
by Lennart Regebro 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

I'm having serious trouble in getting HEAD running in Windows. Obviously, configure doesn't work. :-) I found something on zope.org telling me to run python inst\configure.py and in in turn tells me to run nmake build. This builds Zope, but creates no z2.py or runzope.py or anything like that. What next? Any ideas?

Preview of a Stackless Zope Application
by Christian Tismer 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

Howdy, I made a little demo of Stackless Zope. It is just a quick hack to see how things can work. The example is a long-running Python method which "prints" lines to the browser. The key to this surprizing solution is tasklets, channels, and thread pickling.

Changing the Appearance of a Local File System Object
by Asad Habib 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

Hello. I have a folder that I have created at the root level and inside this folder I have placed one Local File System object. The Local File System object contains two File objects. When I view the Local File System object by clicking on the 'View' option provided by the management interface, I can see that it contains two File objects. What I would like to do is to change the way that these File objects are displayed. Specifically, I would like to show only certain attributes that these File objects have and hide others. Right now, the following attributes are shown: type, icon, size, and last modified time(mtime). I would like to hide the size and last modified time(mtime) attributes. I want these attributes to be set but I do not want their values to show. FYI, I am using the Local File System Product. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Asad __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/

Heads up: about to merge new-style ExtensionClass and ZODB 3.3 into Zope 2 head
by Jim Fulton 10 Dec '03

10 Dec '03

Hi, I'm just about to start writing the checkin logs for the merge of new-style ExtensionClass and ZODB 3.3 into the Zope 3 head. I expect the merge to be done within the next hour or two. Except for a test failure and some warnings pre-existing on the head, all of the tests and Zope runs. This is a huge change though and I expect this to be the beginning of a period of relative instability. Hoepfully, we can all work together to quickly address whatever problems come up. As I mentioned in another message, old Zope 2 databases won't work on the head for a while until I have a chance to come up with a mechanism for converting ancient BTrees and intSets. Unfortunately, until a change I checked into the Zope 2.7 branch on Wednesday, Zope was continuing to use the old depricated BTrees for a key data structure.

FYI: Zope 2.6.1 beta 1 today...
by Brian Lloyd 10 Dec '03

10 Dec '03

Hi all - We're planning on releasing a Zope 2.6.1 b1 today, and I wanted to give the dev folks a heads-up and let people know the plan for getting to 2.6.1 final. The release today will contain some ZODB / ZEO fixes as well as the datetime fix and some other fixes added since 2.6.0. We will be having a "bug day" next Tuesday, and the goal will be that those fixes will also go into the Zope-2_6-branch to be included in a 2.6.1 beta 2 to be release hopefully around the end of next week. Assuming there are no issues with the b2 release, we'll plan on making it final a week or so after that for a late xmas present :) This schedule should also provide enough time for the valiant volunteers working on the 2.6.1 version of the Zope Book to finalize things for the release.

ZOPE + SSL
by Illarramendi Amilibia, Aitor 10 Dec '03

10 Dec '03

Hello all: Which is the best (or more used) solution at this moment for having Zope supporting SSL secure connections? ZOPE + Apache + Apache mod_ssl + openSSL + Virtual_Host(or similiar solution)? Is ok, but it is not a little bit contradictory to need to use a second Web Server for supporting the first one? Redirecting URLs, and all... Dunno, there would be a day where ZOPE could have it's own support? ZOPE + OpenSSL + M2Crypto + SWIG? (this one rewrites Zserver parts) Is a little bit tricky to handle with the building, and i've found many exception problems when using it, especifically in BIO access types. Looks like the error handling is not very improved. ZOPE + OpenSSL + pyOpenSSL? This needs to be integrated in ZOPE, as a product, or anyway. Is there a most used recipe or case study examples? The environment where i'm planning to do it could be directed to Win32 platform, and at least over Zope 2.6.1 release. Regards.

zopectl start not working on Mac OS X
by Jim Roepcke 09 Dec '03

09 Dec '03

We are planning on shipping Zope 2.7 with the Plone 2 installer for Mac OS X. I can start a Zope instance on Mac OS X 10.2.8 using $INSTANCE_HOME/bin/runzope, but not using $INSTANCE_HOME/bin/zopectl start. I'm using Python 2.3.2 built from source, and Zope was built using: ./configure --with-python=/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Python/bin/ python --prefix=/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope --optimize make make install (note, the same thing happens whether or not i use the --optimize option) This happens with b3 and Zope-2_7-branch from today. cd $INSTANCE_HOME ./bin/zopectl start > Traceback (most recent call last): > File > "/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope/lib/python/Zope/ > Startup/zopectl.py", line 215, in ? > main() > File > "/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope/lib/python/Zope/ > Startup/zopectl.py", line 198, in main > c.onecmd(" ".join(options.args)) > File > "/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Python/lib/python2.3/ > cmd.py", line 210, in onecmd > return func(arg) > File > "/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope/lib/python/Zope/ > Startup/zopectl.py", line 134, in do_start > ZDCmd.do_start(self, arg) > File > "/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope/lib/python/ > zdaemon/zdctl.py", line 214, in do_start > os.spawnvp(flag, args[0], args) > File > "/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Python/lib/python2.3/ > os.py", line 543, in spawnvp > return _spawnvef(mode, file, args, None, execvp) > File > "/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Python/lib/python2.3/ > os.py", line 504, in _spawnvef > wpid, sts = waitpid(pid, 0) > OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes I added code to zdctl.py to print out the environment and the command line used in os.spawnvp. It is (including some environment variables I set before running it): SOFTWARE_HOME=/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope/lib/ python INSTANCE_HOME=/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Testing PYTHONPATH=/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope/lib/python CLIENT_HOME=/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Testing/var ZOPE_HOME=/Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope export SOFTWARE_HOME INSTANCE_HOME PYTHONPATH CLIENT_HOME ZOPE_HOME /Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Python/bin/python /Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope/lib/python/zdaemon/ zdrun.py -S /Applications/Plone2/Library/Software/Zope270/Zope/lib/python/Zope/ Startup/zopeschema.xml -b 10 -d -s /Applications/Plone2/Sites/Testing/var/zopectlsock -x 0,2 -z /Applications/Plone2/Sites/Testing /Applications/Plone2/Sites/Testing/bin/runzope I get this output: > Another zrdun is already up using socket > '/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Testing/var/zopectlsock': > status=running > now=1070998107.721581 > mood=1 > delay=0 > backoff=0 > lasttime=1070998096.551084 > application=1152 > manager=1141 > backofflimit=10 > filename='/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Testing/bin/runzope' > args=['/Applications/Plone2/Sites/Testing/bin/runzope'] I've looked at the source and nothing is popping out as being obviously wrong. If you have any suggestions for ways I can debug this further I can go further on this. For now I think I'm going to have to stick with runzope... but I'd really like to be using zopectl start/stop/status instead. Jim -- Jim Roepcke Tyrell Software Corp <http://www.tyrell.com/>

Zope 2.7.0 b3 regressions
by Yuppie 09 Dec '03

09 Dec '03

Hi! Migrating a CMF Site from Zope 2.6 to Zope 2.7.0 b3, I stumbled over these two Zope 2.7 issues: 1.) absolute_url(relative=1) behaves different ---------------------------------------------- 'relative' was changed from 'relative to site object' to 'relative to server root'. This is an API change and breaks Products like CMF. See <http://zope.org/Collectors/Zope/809> I propose to revert this change. 2.) reindexIndex not 100% backwards compatible ---------------------------------------------- CMF's CatalogTool inherits from ZCatalog and overrides catalog_object. Zope's reindexIndex fails because CMF doesn't implement the new catalog_object API. See <http://zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1134> I propose to add a capability check in reindexIndex. I'd volunteer to fix these issues in CVS as proposed, but maybe the people who made these changes still feel responsible for their code or there are objections regarding the proposed fixes. Any feedback is welcome. Cheers, Yuppie
