equivalent of eval in dtml ?
by happyrhino＠usa.net 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

Simple question again = How to set a variable 'mytime' to the current time ? <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('mytime', 'ZopeTime fmt=%H:%M')"> sets it to the string 'ZopeTime fmt=%H:%M' Is there no equivalent of eval() ?

ZODB performance via direct disk writes
by Itamar Shtull-Trauring 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

Would there be any performance gain from having ZODB3 access a raw io device instead of using a filesystem, as can be done in FreeBSD for example? Someone at the FreeBSD booth at Linuxworld said it might, while I heard Ted T'so (one of the Linux ext2 developers) say that raw io access does not actually speed things compared to going through the filesystem layer (specifically he mentioned RDBMS). -- Itamar - itamars(a)ibm.net ---------------------------o----------------------------------------------o Perl/Gimp Greeting Cards | Trust?

stormlinux.com now Zope powered
by Kevin Teague 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

Greetings Zope-users, I just wanted to announce that http://www.stormlinux.com is now powered by Zope2.0b6. Zope is really cool product, and I've been cutting and pasting code snippets from the mailing list and elsewhere as I learn Zope. Thanks to Digital Creations and all the folks who have been working with them to make Zope what it is. Storm Linux is a new Linux disto based on Debian GNU Linux. We're a small commercial company, and our product is still in beta, but we are growing and should have a first final release by the end of the year if all goes right :) -- Kevin Teague Webmaster Stormix

by Christopher Petrilli 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

Hi there! Filling in for Amos as he tries to get the new Zope site readied for public presentation! It's still in beta... Well, this has been the busiest week of all, or at least in a long long time, for Zope development. Not only was beta 6 released, but the final release of Zope 2 has finally been made! In celebration, we're going to continue working on documentation and resolving any outstanding issues! Other items of interest this past week: * First! Zope 2.0 is finally released and out of BETA! :-) Find all the gory details here: http://www.zope.org/Download/Releases/Zope-2.0.0/ * Lots of new items (HOW-TOs, contributed software) on the new beta site. Take a look! http://www.zope.org:18200 * It was revealed that the <dtml-sendmail> tag doesn't participate in the transaction machinery http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-August/008968.html * Juergen Specht started an interesting thread on data validation and the difficulty in even figuring out what an e-mail address is. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-August/008982.html * Zope gets some good press in the TechWeb publication, which Paul shares with us all. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-August/009011.html * Various people expressed the concerns with search sites crawling a dynamic site like Zope, but perhaps it's not an issue as is discussed in the thread. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-August/009058.html * It's discovered that you can't use tree tags with SQL queries the way you might expect, but there are some solutions. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-August/009089.html * Evan Simpson reveals his first attempt at embedded Python code objects in the Zope database. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-August/009107.html * John Udell provides some much welcome publicity on Zope as well: http://www.byte.com/column/threads/BYT19990824S0013 * A new version of the ZOracleDA was released, providing full thread-safety under Zope2. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-August/009192.html * Beehive in Germany releases a product to help write products. Is that a meta-product? ;-) http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-August/009225.html Zigning off for now, Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli(a)digicool.com http://www.digicool.com

ZSQL error using MySQLDA
by Rick Ree 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

I have a MySQL query as follows: select foo.id, bar.name, count(*) from foo, bar where (foo.id = bar.id) group by foo.id This query executes normally from the mysql client, and I get: id name count(*) 1 joe 10 2 blow 24 etc... When implemented as a Z SQL Method, I get the message: Error, exceptions.KeyError: unhandled Why might this be? If I omit count(*) from the query it runs fine, or if I use count(*) in a query involving only a single table, it also works. I'm running Zope 2 beta6, Linux (RH5.2), and MySQL 3.22.19 TIA for help, Rick

RE: [Zope] ZODB size?

> Just a thought... > How about being able to split ZODB datafiles into more chunks? Some thought has gone into this already. Nothing to announce in the near future, but dealing with the 2G limit is on our radar. Brian Lloyd brian(a)digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

Python compile problem
by Mayfield, Weatherby 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

I'm trying to compile Python 1.5.2 with threads support turned on and I'm running into some sort of roadblock. I run configure with the "--with-thread" option and that seems to run fine. But then when I run make install it stops and tells me that I need to run configure with the --with-thread option. The install docs were a little unclear about whether the threadmodule needed to be manually uncommented or not, but it doesn't work for me either way. I'm running Caldera 1.3 as it came out of the box with a Linux 2.0 kernel. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? -- Web Mayfield EDS Medicare Business Services 972-604-2277 (8-834)
