I actually got bit by this with what I suspect was a web browser having severe mental problems - a submit of the security page cleared _every_ single button. Double-plus ungood - I plan to make a patch that won't allow you to turn off all the buttons. Anthony -- Anthony Baxter <anthony(a)interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

[ot] python book
by Lee Reilly CS1997 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

Hi, I'm going through the tutorials available on Python.org but can anyone recommend a good book? I've always been impressed by O'Reilly's books and I see that there are a number of them available: - Python Programming on Win32 - Learning Python - Programming Python Which one of the above (or indeed, any others) would be best for me? Me? I've got some C experience and will be using Python with Zope to create a portal, & some simple apps. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. - Best regards, Lee

Zope Beginner

Hi All, I'm new to Zope. Just installed it a few minutes ago. Everything installed fine. Logged in http://localhost:8080/manage worked great. I'm trying to figure out the web server portion of zope. I was reading the docs the chart that talks about ZServer Command Line Switches. It tells me the default port is 8080. To change that do a -w 80 after the -D. In the start.bat. I tried all kinds of things and never was able to get zope up on port 80 as a web server (www.whatever.com_ or XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX). What am I missing? Thanks Mark A.

Re: [Zope] REQUEST.set('n', n+1) broken on zope.org

The > following DTML will raise an AttributeError on __add__: > > <dtml-call REQUEST.set('n', 1)> > <dtml-call REQUEST.set('n', n+1)> There may be a simple explanation (someone else already pointed out, that you need to use "..."; I expect, you did as otherwise, you would get a "KeyError"): There may be an object named "n" somewhere in the acquisition context. An object that does not define an "__add__" method. As you probably know (or can reread in the documentation), "REQUEST" has quite a low priority for lookups (in fact, it is at the bottom of the acquisition context). It is therefore easy to have a REQUEST definition overridden. Use "REQUEST['n']+1" instead of "n+1". Dieter

Zope 2.3 plan updated...
by Brian Lloyd 05 Dec '00

05 Dec '00

Hi all - We're gearing up for getting a new feature release out so for those interested I've updated the Zope 2.3 plan at: http://dev.zope.org/Resources/zope_230_plan.html The main changes from the prior version are that it is much more detailed, some items have been added and the item for updating ZDOM to DOM level 2 has been dropped (until there is a clearer justification for it). I hope to make an alpha 1 release on Monday the 11th with the new Python Scripts and fixed user bootstrapping, among other things (see the plan for details).

Re: [Zope] FTP in HTML-Kit? (Or other editor on MS-Windows)

I found that it can only > retrieve files, without being able to browse directories, and that it > cannot > save back files with FTP. Absolutely not a competitor for GNU Emacs. > Or did I miss something? Maybe the newest built of html-kit (from 29. Nov). The changes file suggests that ftp-support is now very good. (save/load/update ... everything you can do with a local file seems now to work with remote-files too). Look at http://www.chami.com/html-kit/news/ A very interesting feature for zope seems to be the following: " Ability to map local folders to remote servers, for the purpose of previewing files with server-side scripting through the server ("Edit | Preferences... | Preview | Edit Preview Rules..."). The user interface for this option has not been finalized." HTML-Kit is free and very customizable, I really like it. The developer is very responsive and there's a load of plugins available - chances are that any modifications to make it play better with zope can be incorporated. And it's free (as in beer). cheers, oliver
