ZSQL Method Question
by Chris Withers 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

Hi, Is there any way you can pass the connection to be used by a ZSQL Method as a parameter? I'd like to encapsulate some SQL stuff in a method where the only thing that changes is the database connection the method is performed on. cheers, Chris

No module names _mysql
by Pierre-Julien GRIZEL 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

Chris, I had exactly the same problem as you. I eventually found it was a bad idea to use the precompiled python version shipped with the binary package. In fact when I do : $ python >>> import _mysql it works. However, when I do : $ $ZOPEHOME/bin/python >>> import _mysql It doesn't. So, I think the best thing to do is to bypass the binary python shipped with the tarball. I'm dowloading the source version to check if it is ok. // -----Original Message----- // From: Chris Best [mailto:chris.best@bluesky-technologies.com] // Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 9:04 AM // To: ewalstad(a)energywright.com // Subject: Zope MySQL // // // Eric // // I'm having almost exactly the same problem except build.py crashes with: // // ImportError: No module named _mysql // // If you get an answer before me could you let me know and I'll do // the same. // // Cheers // // Chris // Pierre-Julien

Re: ZClass Base Class (QUEST)
by Alexandre Ratti 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

Hello, there used to be a way to change the base classes for a ZClass. It's documented here: <http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-August/001288.html> I haven't used it recently. It worked for me several time in Zope 2.1.1. Make sure you backup your database before trying it.

Oracle 8i on Linux
by Evan Gibson 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

Mourning... I've been trying to compile DCOracle for 8i under Linux and I'm _really_ not cut out for messing about with C libraries. I know Anthony Baxter has done it, but I have a strange feeling he's probably not near a computer right now. Has anyone else got this working? If so could you send me your Setup file? (Better yet would be to get it added to the ones already in the DCOracle package.) Thanks for your time, Evan Gibson -- Evan ~ThunderFoot~ Gibson ~ nihil mutatem, omni deletum ~ May the machines watch over you with loving grace.

I would like to open discussion on Version access over FTP. Few weeks ago I have posted some suggestion on this to Jim Fulton, but no reaction. I know he is very busy and so maybe here I get any response. Below, plaese see copy of what I have posted to Jim. Hi Jim, I have a problem with versions with FTP. I already read your comment in mail-list and also made little of traffic on the Zope and Zope-dev mail-lists. After this, maybe I have a suggestion how to solve the versioning also over FTP and not only HTTP. This problem arised for me, when I tried to work with versions edditing my DTML code in Emacs. I suggest to be version object a container object. The access to the version over FTP could be determined in URL. (The ID of version object, to which I want to make changes, must be a part of URL. Additioanaly, commands for join/leave, commit .. should be also in URL, just after the ID version.) This mechanism could allow to work with versions also over FTP. The classical version management over web interface in collaboratin with cookies will not be changed, the mechanism to work with versions also over FTP will be an addition. In addition, in this way, the other people could see the version ('functionality of version') also over HTTP if they know the version ID and put it in the URL. What do you think about this? If there is any other possibility to solve my problem, could you inform me? Thanks in advance, Could anybody response to this, please.

It's funny, I have seen quite a few postings mentioning about GUF and Generic User Folder before, (never understood what it was, though,) and I even mentioned in my own message that I wanted to create a "Generic User." But somehow I just never made the connection. :) Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
