Mounted temporary folder and ZEO ?
by Geir Bækholt 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Hello Zopistas, I am using "Mounted Temporary Folder" in a chat product i am building, and it suddenly struck me that it might not behave transparently in a ZEO-cluster.. Is there any reason for me to worry ? - does it act just like a normal zope folder when it comes to ZEO-clustering? -- Geir Bækholt

Supported Processor for Zope
by McDonnell, Larry 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Hi, After a couple of Google searches, I cannot find the answer to this question, What processors are support or have worked with Zope? I am in the process of creating some zope services for some customers. In order to keep cost down but at the same time avoid any compatibility issues, I am asking the list this question. Thanks.

Using win32com from external method
by Micheál Healy 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Hi, I want to use win32com.client in a python script which I wish to access as an External Method. When I run the script outside of Zope, it works fine. Then I add a method declaration, and try to add the same script as an extenal method and I get the following error: Error Type: ImportError Error Value: No module named pythoncom The import statements look like this: import pythoncom import win32com.client When I run outside Zope, I dont actually need to import pythoncom. I downloaded COMObject-1.0.1-nonbin.tgz and took a look at what I may need to do to get it working (figured that if I could get this to work, my problem would be solved). The following is from the README.txt: Probably the easiest way to get the win32 extensions working with Zope is to use your own Python, rather than the Python that comes with Zope. If this is what I have to do, then how? Ive looked for anything on this, but its not the easiest thing to search for. If I do this, will I still be able to access the things I have added in the \Zope\lib\python\Products, such as TinyTable, Calendar and ZGDChart? Thanks for any help, Micheál Micheál Healy Engitech Ltd. 01 6204 516

Zope Installation Problems
by Sheppard Norfleet 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

I am using Rad Hat Linux 7.x. which comes with python 2.2 not the problem. I have Zope that has a python 2.1 one with it. when I try to build w_pcgi.py using the python that comes with zope, I get compile errors when trying to build the exception modules, the last message has a message like "I and PICKY raiseError" There are a ton of warning and a few errors sprinkled in a compiler output (or at least it looks like that). Anyway I have been working at this installation for about a week, I have tried a source install and binary install. No matter which way I go zope fails to build using the 2.1 python that comes with it. Has anyone else had these problems? Trying to run Zope like this: bin/python z2.py -p /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/zope.pcgi all I get in return is a new bash prompt wiht no warnings. the log files are empty or don't exist. Please help! BTW, don't mean to knock mailing lists but wouldnt forums be a lot easier way to communicate? Just a thought...

do I need to build a product for this?
by sameer chaudhry 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

I have done this using products but I'm wonder if the following is easier done within the Zope machinery. I want to have a python list at a URL say: some_server/list I want to update that list by appending a line of text to it by going to the URL: someserver/list/updatelist I want to see the updated list by going to the URL: someserver/list/viewlist. Is this possible without building a Product which supports the persistence of the list? -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife

Python calling python?
by Michael Havard 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Somebody make this simple for me. I have two python scripts (internal not external). I want to call the first script using DTML/ZPT. I have no problem in that regard... BUT... I want to call then use th first script to call the second script. As soon as I try to include that functionality it falls apart. If I try to import I get 'not authorized'. If I try to access it the same way I do ZSQL methods 'context.whatevername()' I get "whatevername" not defined. What am I missing? Is it a security thing? Did I miss some important piece of documentation? _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
