Error compiling Zope 2.5 with Python 2.2: Missing Makefile.pre.in
by KEVIN ZEMBOWER 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

I'm trying to compile Zope 2.5 on a system with Python 2.2. The command "python w_pcgi.py" ends with this error: Compiling extensions in lib/python cp /usr/local/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in . cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in': No such file or directory In searching the Zope mailing list archives, an earlier poster suggested using a Makefile.pre.in from Python 2.1. I got Python 2.1.2, untar'ed it, and "ln -s /tmp/Python-2.1.2/Makefile.pre.in /usr/local/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in" The results were only slightly different: Compiling extensions in lib/python cp /usr/local/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in . make -f Makefile.pre.in boot PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python make: *** No rule to make target `boot'. Stop. The earlier poster suggested that this be a FAQ; I concur. Can anyone help me get beyond this point? Thanks in advance for your help. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.

Editing via FTP

Hi, I'm using jedit 3.2.2 to edit files via FTP. With DTML Documents everything goes fine. But if I edit Python files or Z SQL Methods and store the files back into Zope they change to DTML Documents. Any hints? Thank you Egon Frerich

Index crash in ZCatalog? Anybody recognize this?
by Lennart Regebro 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

We have a catalog that we search amongst other things on dates, using code like this: query['date'] = DateTime.now() query['date_usage'] = 'range:min' This selects all records that have either a date that is lower than "now" or where this field is empty or None. Suddenly these queries stopped working on one catalog. The query would no longer return records with empty or None in the date. If we skipped the 'date_usage' and searched for [DateTime.now(), '', None] then the '' records would get returned, but otherwise not. Deleting the catalog, creating a new one and reindexing all objects solved the problem. Two questions: 1. I assume that this index crashed. Any other ideas of what could have happened? 2. Are there any known bugs to crash indexed in Zope 2.3.3 that have been fixed later? I could find nothing when I searched the archives.

Re: [Zope] How come you can't add a multiple selection property in a python script?

Value is used at the point where the error message is generated). How is the association made between the select_variable and the property? Ron

Date and Zclass properties
by Benoit Dominiak 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

Hi, I'd like to put a date as a property of my Zclass but I have many trouble to find a correct format for it. I think I can also use string, int or float. But it's not perfect: How can I use all the methods for the DateTime Class with this property ? I'd like to store a date of publication in this property and to be able to sort instances by this date (different than bobobase_modif). And also to be able to use the format I want for the date.

acl_users on an LocalFS?
by Derek Simkowiak 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

Hello, I am using the Local File System product to import some directories on my hard drive into Zope. The tricky part is, I want to use Zope's acl_users and acquisition to manage usernames/passwords on those directories. That is, I want the Local File System to have an "acl_users" subdirectory where I can add/remove usernames. Is there a way to do that? Thanks, Derek
