I do that too. But often I have a product up and running, and I have to make an updated product that is incompatible with the old one. What I wondered about is how to upgrade from version 1.0 to 1.1 of the same products as easy as possible. regards Max M

More about the TinyTable problem
by Ricardo Newbery 13 Jun '01

Just now noticed something else wrong related to this TinyTable trouble I'm having. When I log out and hit the site as unauthorized, I now get the following error: Error Type: UnpickleableError Error Value: Cannot pickle <extension class Acquisition.ImplicitAcquirerWrapper at 2836f9a0> objects  At 12:08 am -0700 6/13/01, Ricardo Newbery wrote: >I'm having some trouble with a TinyTablePlus logging routine.

Zope || Progress
by Ben Ocean 13 Jun '01

13 Jun '01

Hi; Is anyone out there familiar with Progress < http://progress.com > and can fill me in on how compatible it is with Zope? I like Zope from the perspective of its OOP platform for portal development. Progress seems to be leading the way for the development of an ASP platform. Please advise. TIA, BenO

Re: [Zope-dev] Zope Apache and Streaming

It was terrible with the default 7 threads and got better when I increased the number of threads. But it never was what I was hoping it would be so I went to mod_python (for streaming only) and it was much faster. Ragnar

ZShell
by Andy McKay 13 Jun '01

13 Jun '01

Hi, I finally got around to playing with ZShell (after all those emails announcing it on the list) and its cool, thanks Jerome. But I have to admit type command lines into a browser window doesn't thrill me. Typing command lines into standard cli however, does. So I started thinking that I could use the simple Cmd module in python, make calls using xmlrpc and... ZShellCLI, a command line interface was born... my quick proof of concept works like this: E:\Zope23>bin\python ZShellCLI.py ZShellCLI: A CLI to ZShell > open Connected to http://127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1> pack 7 Done "pack 7" Open a server, type your command, its executed through ZShell by xml-rpc and so on. The coolest part about this could be access to local tools "vim standard_html_header" (one day) for example... Anyway questions (mostly to Jerome): - Is this useful to anyone else? - Any plans to make it a product, then I could call the methods directly? Plus more support like changing directories.. - I cheated, I cant show return results, because everything comes back in html. (As a proof it works I open the results in a browser :) If it was a product, or there was a html / text option that would be great. I could parse everything through a html stripper, but that seems rather daft. Any chance we could get around this...? Thanks Jerome, good product and thanks for helping out the community. Cheers -- Andy McKay

Re: Working on Zope presentation

I've got a 2-hour powerpoint presentation entitled "Squishdot, Zope and Python" from a talk I gave last February which kind of covers a lot (so most of it is a bird's-eye view of the whole damn kaboodle) -- just email me privately if you're interested... Its about 1.5 MB unzipped (35 slides) -- most of it screenshots of squishdot sites (I'm biased ;^)) -- you can take out the stuff you don't want... --- Andy McKay andym(a)ActiveState.com wrote: > > I would recommend just showing a lot of Zope and an application.

That impressed people alot more than the waffle I > did. > The problem I had with my presentation (and in trying to cover Zope in general terms) was that a lot of it tends to go in one ear and out the other -- like so much of the marketingese that companies use to tout their products ("...ideal for dynamic, interactive websites; manage from anywhere using only your browser...blah...blah...") I'm almost convinced (though I haven't tried it) that a demo (and enough time afterwards for questions) might make a more powerful and lasting impression. Cheers!
