Is ZEO my friend...
by Gilles Lenfant 10 Jan '04

10 Jan '04

Hi zopistas, Here's the future problem... A web app records "todo" tasks into a queue. The queue will be a folderish, the "todo" task will be file like objects with properties saying what to do with. Then a background process will read that queue in a loop, remove "todo" tasks 1 per one, the oldest first and start processing accordingly. What about using a ZEO client app for this kind of console python app ? As ZODB is transactional, ther should not be read/write conflicts on objects ? If I'm in the good direction, are there some examples or tutorials using that specific architecture ? Thanks in advance. -- Gilles

MSIE 6 not opening MIME attachments
by Jim Kutter 10 Jan '04

10 Jan '04

I'm trying to send a CSV via a python script. My problem is in IE 6, if the user clicks on "Open" instead of save from the dialog that appears, Excel will launch, but not find the file in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Clicking on "Save" then opening the file manually works just fine. Is this a problem with my response headers or an IE bug? Here are the headers I'm sending: response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/csv') response.setHeader('Content-Length', len(printed)) response.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=%s' % filename) return printed

Adding a ZPT when adding product instance
by Lee Harr 09 Jan '04

09 Jan '04

I use something like this to add a DTML Method inside of my folderish product: # Add default interface index_html = HTMLFile('dtml/index_html', globals()) text = index_html.read_raw() ob.manage_addDTMLMethod(id='index_html', title='') idx = ob.index_html idx.manage_edit(text, title='') the source for the index_html file is in the dtml folder in my product, and is called index_html.dtml Is this the correct Zope idiom? How can I do something similar for ZPT? _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

The exact same code ran fine in 2.6.2. However the stuff is being escaped / formatted, it seems to be handled differently in the two. Maybe 2.7 is more strict and correct, I dunno. Gerry

Problems with ZCatalog method
by Jason Randell 09 Jan '04

09 Jan '04

I am a relatively new zope user so you'll have to excuse me. I am trying to write a python script that will automatically recatalog my Zcatalog. Unfortunately I keep getting an error that I can't get past. Here is a code snippet with some minor changes to protect the innocent: request = container.REQUEST RESPONSE = request.RESPONSE url1 = 'http://localhost:4444/myCatalog' url2 = 'http://localhost:4444/' obj_metatypes=['Page Template'] obj_expr='not noindex' obj_ids='None' obj_searchterm='None' obj_mtime='None' obj_mspec='None' obj_roles='None' obj_permission='None' monkey=[obj_metatypes, obj_ids, obj_searchterm, obj_expr, obj_mtime, obj_mspec, obj_roles, obj_permission] container.GALEN_Catalog.manage_catalogClear() container.GALEN_Catalog.manage_catalogFoundItems(request, RESPONSE, url2, url1, monkey) # I have also just tried obj_metatypes=['Page Template'], obj_expr='not noindex' instead of the monkey list I get an indexError: List index out of range. Here is the traceback: Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 98, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 39, in call_object Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 252, in __call__ Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 283, in _bindAndExec Module Products.PythonScripts.PythonScript, line 315, in _exec Module Script (Python), line 22, in cron_test.py - <PythonScript at /cron_test.py> - Line 22 Module Products.ZCatalog.ZCatalog, line 306, in manage_catalogFoundItems IndexError: list index out of range line 306 in ZCatalog is: obj = REQUEST.PARENTS[1] This is where I get stuck. Here is more software/platform info: Zope Version (Zope 2.6.1 (source release, python 2.1, linux2), python 2.1.3, sunos5) Python Version 2.1.3 (#1, Jul 12 2002, 11:06:12) [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] System Platform sunos5 Any help on this would be appreciated.

Zope 2.6.3 linux binary needs GLIBC 2.3?
by Fred Yankowski 09 Jan '04

09 Jan '04

I just tried the Zope 2.6.3 binary on a Debian Woody system, and it fails to start: ImportError: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /usr/local/Zope-2.6.3-linux2-x86/lib/python/AccessControl/cAccessControl.so) Zope 2.6.2 was happy with the version 2.2.5 of glibc that is standard in Woody. Any suggestions on how to proceed? I suppose I can build Zope 2.6.3 from source. Is there an easy and safe way to install glibc 2.3 on Woody? I haven't found such so far. -- Fred Yankowski fred(a)ontosys.com tel: +1.630.879.1312 OntoSys, Inc PGP keyID: 7B449345 fax: +1.630.879.1370 www.ontosys.com 38W242 Deerpath Rd, Batavia, IL 60510-9461, USA

I have just installed Zope and don't really know much about it but people tell me it's a great product. Are there any recommended apps which I should try to get a flavour of whit it can do? I'm not sure if I'm on the right list for newbie type questions. If not please redirect me to a more appropriate list. -- John

Thanks. I've ended up not using the NFGNav but in testing it and doing some reading it led me to a good solution for my needs.
