Hi Andy, In my MySQLdb directory, the Setup.in file contains the following: _mysql _mysqlmodule.c -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -I/usr/local/include/mysql -lmysqlclie nt Note that this does NOT point to the location of the Python.h file, as you suggested it should (below) I've just finished recompiling and installing Python, Python-devel, MySQL, MySQL-devel; after each step, I tried to run the build.py script and each time I get the following error: Traceback (innermost last): File "build.py", line 14, in ? import MySQLdb File "MySQLdb.py", line 19, in ? from _mysql inport * ImportError: ./_mysqlmodule.so: undefined symbol: Py_InitModule3 I even tried installing just MySQLDA and that failed, too. <EXTREME FRUSTRATION>All I want is to be able to connect to a MySQL DB from Zope.</EXTREME FRUSTRATION> Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

what defines the absolute_url() prefix?
by Daryl Tester 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

G'day, I'm having a blast using (technically: playing with :-) Zope 2.1.4 on a RedHat 6.1 box, and mod_pcgi2 (1.0.1). For my first efforts, I've built a set of DTML methods which emulates www.python.org's style of website, with an index_html method that "includes" Banner, Sidebar, Body etc methods, which can be over-ridden in lower-down folders. All funky stuff, works well. In the Sidebar, I have links to folders within the site using absolute_url() (because of issues with BASE HREF giving me multiple folder syndrome). I can access the folder with the URL http://localhost/cws/Help (and the logfile shows "GET /cws/Help"), but the absolute_url() method on cws.Help is actually returning "http://localhost/cws/cws/Help" (which is also accessible - kinda odd, but not what I want). I kinda suspect I've screwed the mod_pcgi2 config, mainly because its the area I'm the most confused about :-) I have the following config in Apache: <Location /zope> SetHandler pcgi-handler PCGI_ROOT / PCGI_SetEnv SiteRootPATH / </Location> <Location /cws> SetHandler pcgi-handler PCGI_ROOT /cws PCGI_SetEnv SiteRootPATH /cws </Location> (Oh, and I've just added a <dtml-var REQUEST> to the Help page, and it's returning URL http://localhost/cws/cws/Help/index_html for accesses to http://localhost/cws/Help, so it's awfully consistent in its behaviour. How does zope determine what the prefix is, and better yet, how do I fix it to mesh with reality? Regards, Daryl Tester

How implement __bobo_traverse__ in own Product ?
by Martin Grönemeyer 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Hello, I search for a way to implement an URL-Traverse like the SQL-Product. I need some key/value-pairs for a method and won't use an URL-get like .../my_method?key=value. Instead a .../my_method/key/value or .../my_method/key/value/view would fine. Has someone a small code-snipet or something like that which explains the __bobo_traverse__ - mechanism ? Thanks, Martin Grönemeyer

That's OK. Please do the experiment yourself, it only takes 3 minutes or less to verify it. You don't need to trust my words. Trust the result you see with your own eyes. :) A good many people in the list have said this repeatedly: try it first, before posting. I think it's a little bit too much to ask everyone to do that every time, but this is a responsible mailing list and not some flame-loaded newsgroup. So, when it takes only a few minutes to confirm something simple, why not try it first? regards, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Silly newbie question
by Carlson, Christopher W. 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

I'm sure this is simpler than I'm making it out to be, but here goes... I'm looking at using SquishDot as a 'home page' for our Intranet, but can't seem to make its index_html show up as the default document. What I'd like is for a user to be able to point his or her browser at "http://www.mysite.com" and get SquishDot, outisde of setting up a redirect. What's the easiest way to do this? --- Chris Christopher W. Carlson / IS Administrator CertainTeed Corporation / Waco, Texas

Is there an easy way to use mailman username/password to authenticate zope users? I'm really hoping somebody is sitting on a MailmanUsersFolder product. -steve ---- drees(a)the-bridge.net http://www.the-bridge.net/~drees "A problem well stated, is a problem half-solved." - C. Kettering

Hmm. I wasn't aware of the old style syntax, that should definitely be updated. I also agree that we need to review guides and update examples to use the latest and simplest techniques. This is especially true for DTML. > The HOWTOs and Tips are potentially the basis of an excellent Zope > cookbook, but they require more stewardship from DC: > > - They need more structure.

We do have categories for How-Tos but they are not currently sorted on Zope.org by category. Probably the categories could be improved, too. > - The need to be vetted. There are a lot of docs with incorrect > examples and obsolete information that need to be tidied up. Again I agree. How-Tos should also provide some feedback system to allow readers to comment on How-To and point out problems.

Note to list: I have responded to this request. I will see if I can find some ftp space to "mirror" the current worldpilot version. Can I do this from zope.org?

Is this a pure Python question? (Zope External methods are VERY different from Python methods, that's why I need to ask.) If you are talking about pure Python, sure, you can add class members (data or method) at any time. ----------------------------- File A.py: class Chicken: def __init__(self, size): self.size = size -------------------------------- File B.py: import A def getSize(self): return self.size A.Chicken.getSize = getSize b = A.Chicken(123) print b.getSize() # prints 123 -------------------------------- If you are using Zope, you must store your classes where they can be accessed by Python. Usually /lib/python/Shared/Local is a good place, make sure to add the __init__.py file inside the folder. You then refer to the class as Shared.Local.Chicken.
