by Stacy Roberts Ladnier 28 May '03

I am attempting to import a class for use and Zope complains 'no module named extensions.DISTINFO'. My Product structure is: Products - Resources -FGDC -BIO -scripts -script1.py -dtml -www -extensions -DISTINFO.py which contains a class of the same name In script1.py, I have an import statement like this: from Products.Resources.extensions.DISTINFO import DISTINFO Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?? Thanks in advance, Stacy

Can we execute an external method from outside of Zope
by Jean Baltus 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hi all, I would like to know if we can execute an external method from outside of Zope. So let's say that I have a script "install.py" and an external method "installer" that refers to it. Can I execute the external method "installer" in a python script from outside of zope ? Can I execute the "install.py" script from outside of Zope but manage to run it as it was under the same context of the external method? I actually want to create a script to install a new product and would like the user NOT to create an external method in order to do this. Thanx for your suggestions, -- Jean Baltus

Re: [Zope] uploading large files w/ LocalFS

Yes, big upload/download with zserver is very bad, and https is not a good idea too ...

Using a generated image map
by Yves Bastide 28 May '03

Hi, I've got a script which generates both an image and an image map. How to use them from a ZPT? (The problem: the image must be passed "by reference", and the map "by value") Thanks for any help, Yves

zope and COM
by Alexis Roda 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hello, In order to manage m$ office documents from Zope (2.5.1 win32) I've downloaded the win32all-151 installer (for python 2.1) so I can use COM from Zope. My problem is that I'm unable to install it since I have no python interpreter installed (apart from zope's python), the package installer complains about "python 2.1 does not appear to be installed on this computer.". * someone has managed to install this package into zope? * if not: it's safe to download/install python 2.1, install win32all-151 and finally copy the package into the zope tree? * if not: can I import the win32com package from an script running under zope control if it is installed outside of the zope tree (in a "standard place")? Playing with PYTHONPATH or sys.path? TIA -- //// (@ @) ---------------------------oOO----(_)----OOo------------------------ Los pecados de los tres mundos desapareceran conmigo.

Pluggable Brains - Huh?
by Edward Pollard 28 May '03

28 May '03

Well, I know they have a cool name. But thats about it. I have a problem that involves returning some data from a zCatalog, and some data from a Postgres database. Both items are treated as equivalent and should be displayed alphabetically side by side. I've got a marvelously kludgerific solution that involves copying the search results from the zCatalog into a list, which I can then insert my SQL based results in and sort as I see fit. I don't know if there is a better way, but I'd like to know more about Pluggable Brains so I can determine if there is. A search of Zope.org, and the list archives, comes up empty. Anyone with tips or resources? Edward

Storing published objects (?)
by Samir Mishra 28 May '03

28 May '03

Hello All, I'm not sure if the title accurately reflects what I want to do. I have a DTML method that uses a number of other objects and generates HTML code (the usual). What I'd like to do is assign/save the HTML code the method generates. I'd like to save the HTML as a BLOB in a database, and next time a user calls up a particular report, if the source data hasn't changed, publish the pre-rendered HTML. The underlying SQL queries are complex, the data doesn't change often, and I think this may be the best way to lighten the burden on the DB. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about accomplishing this? Perhaps there's a better way of accomplishing this? Thanks in advance. Regards, Samir

Pros and Cons of Different Hosting Solutions
by Rob Thorne 28 May '03

28 May '03

This is a topic that comes up every so often, but I'm curious to hear different people's experience. I'm starting to work with clients on Zope-based solutions, but don't yet have a good answer as to how best to host domains that use Zope. What are some of the pros and cons of these solutions that people on the list have found: * Custom Zope hosting (say, by exposing a part of the ZMI using a VirtualHostMonster) * Virtual Linux or BSD hosting where you install Zope yourself, probably with limited root access * Any other kind of arrangement folks are using that don't involve setting up your own ISP :-) What works well for folks, and what have people found to be best buy for themselves and for their clients? I've gone through the list of Zope Solution Providers, but this doesn't really tell me how to choose between them, or if I should be looking for something more general than any of them. Much thanks, Rob -- Rob Thorne Torenware Networks
