---------- ## Forwarded Message ## ---------- Subject: [Python4linux] Some interim information on what I am doing Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 15:02:41 +0100 From: Oliver Andrich <oli(a)rz-online.net> Hi, today I registered the domain python4linux.org which is a Zope server. At the beginning of the next week we will have a pre-release of the web page with updated RPM packages running. But this is not all I intend to do. So I like to post some infos on the further steps: - create a nice community site - provide web space on the Zope server for community members - create a howto section - the site will be fully searchable - squishdot news forum Any more hints? I like to provide a central for Python users on Linux systems. At first we will have only RPM stuff but I hope we will have stuff for the other systems too. As soon as I have the basic up and running I will inform the python.org webmaster about it and announce it in c.l.p.a So long and thanks for the fish, Oliver Andrich -- Oliver Andrich, KEVAG Telekom GmbH, Cusanusstrasse 7, D-56068 Koblenz Telefon: 0261-3921027 / Fax: 0261-3921033 / Web: http://rhein-zeitung.de _______________________________________________ Python4linux maillist - Python4linux(a)starship.python.net http://starship.python.net/mailman/listinfo/python4linux -------------------------------------------------------

Chris Petrilli, our local security story manager is working on a number of different projects. Lest this go unanswered I'll pipe in.... If you want to ask a question, ask him! :^) Historically, incorporating encryption into Zope has been a real obstacle for us for the following reasons: (1) it ain't easy, (2) US export restrictions on the cryptographic software/tools With yesterday's significant announcement by the US Govt: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563227804-a95 it looks like (2) will no longer be an issue. However, (1) still is... and (1) is a BIGGIE. To really use SSL for both server AND client identification/authentication there is a LOT to do. I'm not sure that we've got the bandwidth (funded or not) to do this in the foreseeable future. Naturally, if there was a funded effort we could at least look at what it would take. Alternatively, we could provide advice and guidance to any person or group that wanted to take this project on (with a serious intent to finish). --Rob

Using ZClass properties for a DB Connection String?
by J C Lawrence 13 Jan '00

13 Jan '00

Given a ZClass which contains a property sheet and a DB Connection method with associated ZSQL methods that depend on it, can I define the connection string for the DB Connection method in terms of attributes defined on the property sheet? If so, how? I've not got it to work so far. This seems like a useful thing -- to be able to make a ZCLass whose instances can be bound to whatever DB that specific instance wishes...or am I missing something? -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder(a)kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

Any experience? I fiddled with it a bit, and got fed up and went back to Apache+mod_ssl When combined with mod_fcgi, it's very neat. :) Anthony

Possible Documentation Omission...
by J.P. Racine 13 Jan '00

13 Jan '00

Hi, In the faq, I thing that there needs to be a correction made. It's on the first few pages of the DHTML Doumentation page. http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/DTML-HTML/DTML.5.1.html > Hello World! > > The dtml-var tag is called an singleton tag , because it does not contain any other tags. Tags which are duplex contain bracketed text which may contain other DTML tags. Duplex tags > require a matching end tag . The name of the end tag is the same as the start tag, except that it contains a " / " or an " end " prefix. End tags do not have attributes. A > commonly used duplex > tag is the dtml-f tag: > *** Should the above not read "tag is the dtml-if tag:" ? > <dtml-if input_name> > Hello <dtml-var input_name>. > </dtml-if> J.P.

Zope and SSL
by Joachim Werner 13 Jan '00

13 Jan '00

In http://www.egroups.com/group/medusa/47.html I read about using "STunnel" (http://mike.daewoo.com.pl/computer/stunnel/) to add SSL functionality to Medusa. As ZServer is derived from Medusa, this should work for Zope, too. Has anyone tried to use this combination? Any experience? I'm asking because I like the idea of having ONLY ZServer running as a web server, not a combination of ZServer and Apache. The only thing I'd need Apache (or Roxen) for, would be the SSL support. BTW: Is native SSL support planned for ZServer?

Sounds like a perfect fit for a Keyword Index. Keyword indexes have been added in Zope 2.1.0 beta 1. From the CHANGES.txt file: Keyword indexes allow you to index a sequence of 'keywords' as an atomic property of an object. This is useful for building categorical hierarchies. With a Keyword index, you index a sequences, so anything that's a list or a tuple. Each element of that sequence is treated like a Field in a FieldIndex. So, if your object has a property 'subjects' that returns a list of 'Help' and 'Monkeys', a search for a subject of either one of these will return that object.
