Answering my own question: > Am I the only one whose bobo_modification_time started today with > /2000/2/29 instead of /2000/03/01? No, I'm obviously not the only one, see: http://www.zope.org/Members/thomasW/test It seems to be a bug. hmmm .. and if tomorrow happens the same? .. How was the movie called, which comes to my mind now :) Greetings, Thomas

how-to/tutorial on dynamic content?
by John White 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

I've walked through the beginning tutorials on managing zope. I was hoping there would be something similar to show a newbie such as myself how to use Zope's ODB to define some objects and create dynamic content pages based on them. The how-to list is a bit daunting; also I get the feeling that there's a level of jargon necessary just to figure out what documentation to read. I don't have that, so I haven't found what I'm looking for. Is there anything like what I'm looking for? John

How to check memory usage in Python
by Hung Jung Lu 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Hi, This is more a Python question. How can one check the RAM memory usage of a Python program from within itself? Is there such a function? (Is it platform independent? I mean, does such a function exist for most platforms?) If such a function does not exist in Python, how can one do it from Unix (or Windows) shell calls? thanks, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
