Your perfectly right and about twenty seconds after posting, I realised and set the PYTHONPATH and it worked. At least ZServer started, I am now having trouble getting ZServer to play ball with FTP connections, I'll struggle on for the moment, since as the docs say, ZServer is for playing with at the moment. I don't intend to use it for any mission critical stuff at least 8^). Thanks for the message.

Zope would get more attention that > way too. :) Let me go ahead and put this to rest. x.y.z where: x=major change, perhaps incompatible, just like Python y=features were added z=only bug fixes The 2.0 release of Zope is reserved for some Big Things, namely concurrency. We have said this publicly enough times that I'd feel wrong about going back on it. I appreciate the sentiment, that the lying bastard commercial software companies use version numbers as marketing. However, the software that we'd like to pattern ourselves after -- say, Linux and Apache -- are pretty conservative and true in advertising. Just my $0.02. --Paul Paul Everitt Digital Creations paul(a)digicool.com 540.371.6909

The list is unnaturally quiet - not that we mind, but we need to check whether somethings wrong. Sorry about the noise... Ken klm(a)digicool.com

Retrieving the current date
by John Eastman 18 Feb '99

18 Feb '99

This may sound like a strange question, but is there any facility in DTML for displaying the current date/time? It seems that I need to write an external python method to return the current date/time? This is easy enough, but it doesn't seem right. Is this correct or did I miss something? John

Hi all, When trying to start ZServer's start.py, after making the relevant changes, and compiling in threads etc. I get this message: log: adding channel <trigger at 8134518> Traceback (innermost last): File "./start.py", line 19, in ? import zope_handler File "./zope_handler.py", line 121, in ? from PubCore import handle File "./PubCore/__init__.py", line 86, in ? import ZRendezvous File "./PubCore/ZRendezvous.py", line 88, in ? from ZServerPublisher import ZServerPublisher File "./PubCore/ZServerPublisher.py", line 86, in ? from ZPublisher import publish_module ImportError: No module named ZPublisher I looked in the PubCore directory and lo and behold there is no ZPublisher module. Any ideas TIA Phil

Believe it or not, this would be *really* easy to make happen (as long as you lived in certain constraints). --Paul
