How do I form an XML-RPC query to a remote server?
by Tony McDonald 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

Hi all, I'm experimenting with collating data from a remote database that uses XML-RPC. I can send it messages like; >>> import xmlrpclib >>> medweb = xmlrpclib.Server("http://bogus.server.com") >>> medweb.getImages('scar') '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>\015\012\011<data>\015\012\011\011<title>Medwebb Images</title> \0 (lots of stuff snipped) But I just can't figure out how to send the XML version of the same query, ie <?XML VERSION="1.0"?> <methodCall> <methodName>getimages</methodName> <params> <param> <value><string>scar</string></value> </param> </params> </methodCall> to the server. I've got a nasty feeling that when I get told how to do this, I'm going to slap my forehead bloody hard.... As you can see the data is returned in XML format, and whilst I'm fine with Python code for XML parsing (usually use sgmlop), I'm a bit lost on where to start here. An External Method seems the best way, but I'd like the received wisdom on this.

Transparent Folders can unable SQL Methods...
by Ghuo 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

Hi all, I am using both transparent folders (created by Shane) and sql methods. SQL Methods are using "SQLConnectionIDs" method which return the list of all the connections founded in the content of the current folder. I put all my connections in a transparent folder and the "SQLConnectionIDs" method returned always an empty list. I was not able any more to create new sql methods... Here is a patch of this method located in the python file "lib/python/Products/ZSQLMethods/SQL.py" which makes all work well...

security problems
by Bowyer, Alex 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

I am having some problems with getting the right security settings for my ZClass. I have one method index_html which should be viewable by anonymous. All other methods should only be viewable when a username/password is entered for someone with the role I have called UAAdmin One thing that is causing complications is that the index_html makes use of a few dtml-vars, an external Python method, and one view method also called index_html from another class. It may be I need to change these items' permissions as well. I can only seem to get full access to all pages (if I grant a proxy on index_html) or password access required on all items (by specifying permissions for the class instance) neither of which are the correct solution. Could someone tell me the right combination of permissions, define permissions and roles I need to get this working.. it's all getting a bit confusing.

The new Python Method renaming Poll
by Michel Pelletier 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/Scratch/Poll Hope Netscape doesn't mess up my formatting on the rest of this. The above link goes to the HTML version if it does! -Michel The New and Improved Python Method Poll We recently held a poll on Zope.org about renaming Python Methods. The poll turned out to be a bit of a disaster for several reasons, but at least we learned our lesson and this time, hopefully, we're gonna do it the right way. *Why* do we want to rename Python Methods? We want to rename Python Methods because they are not methods in Python. There are already things in the Python language called "Methods" and what we currently call "Python Methods" do not look or act much like real methods written in Python. To illustrate the point, Jim recently told me that he went up to PythonLabs to visit, and when he showed them Python Methods their reaction was "These aren't Python Methods.", and they should know! So we have two choices: 1) Change the behavior of Python Methods so that they look and act like methods in Python, instead of what they are now, or 2) Keep the existing behavior and change the name. We discarded the first choice because we like the existing behavior, we find it useful for through the web development, and we have invested a lot of thought and engineering into it. Changing the behavior would effect lots of things, so we decided to go with the second choice. The second choice is good because it requires little labor, but it is not an *easy* choice to make, especially for us since we're all pretty biases and geek-headed. This is where you come in. We want you to vote from a selection of internal and community solicited new names for Python Methods. What was wrong with the last Poll? In the last poll, "Method" won "hands down":http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/poll/viewStats. But the poll was obviously a bit biased, no justification was given as to *why* we wanted to rename Python Methods and "Method" was mentioned all over the poll, it was even a choice! To quote Jim, the poll was a lot like asking the question "Who is buried in Grant's tomb?". Duh. Also, there were lots of candidate names, but with no context, who could really choose one? There were no justification for names, and many of them that were fairly reasonable scored almost dead last. So, we're gonna do things a little differently in this poll. How does the new poll work? *Once again* we will be soliciting names from inside DC and from the community. In addition to submitting a name, we encourage you to also submit a one-liner description or justification for you name, it can be in any form, Haiku poetry, a Dutch sea-shanty, a Monty Python quote, anything *relevant* to encourage people to vote for your entry. We will also have a front-page blurb on the poll that you must read in order to vote. It will describe the reasons and justification's behind the new poll, and why we want to rename Python Methods. "Method" will not be an option, so please don't submit it. When is the new poll? The new poll will start on Monday, November 27th, 2000 and go until the following Friday. Name submission are due by the Friday before the poll, November 24th, 2000. How do I submit a candidate? Send an email with the subject line "Python Method name candidate" to "michel(a)digicool.com":mailto:michel@digicool.com. Your email must contain at least the name you propose, but it may also contain a *short* paragraph justifying why you think your name should be chosen. I will compile the list of candidates the Friday before the Poll begins. Your welcome and encouraged to discuss possibilities on the mailing lists, but please, since I don't have all the time in the world to troll the list, if you don't send me an email, I will not add your candidate to the list! Thanks, and Good Luck to all!
