newbie to Zope/Python
by Frank Rocco 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Hello, I am new to Zope and Python, can have converted several ASP apps to Zope using dtml. Is there a tutorial on programming zope using python? I havn't a clue on how to extend my knowledge of zope to include calling python functions I write or are built in. In general it's been a fun way to learn zope, but I also need to understand how to configure zope to use SSL. Right now we are using IIS, but am open to use Apache also if needed. Are main internet site is http://www.stemc.org which is a mix of html and php talking to mysql. the main page loads from a database, which I allow users to maintain their own content. Not sure if I will rewrite this site in zope as this would be a large project. Regards, Frank

Retrieve calling object from python script
by Robin Breathe 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

I've written a cache parameter script in Python, which is designed to be called without arguments from a dtml page, zpt or as a precondition to a File or Image object. It needs to get a handle on the item which called it (I'll call that handle 'object'), to retrieve optional script parameters stored as properties of the calling object. This allows per instance configuration of ZPTs, and suchlike. Here's the start of the script: #start request = context.REQUEST object = request.PUBLISHED response = request.RESPONSE # DEBUG: look at PUBLISHED response.setHeader('Published-Object', repr(object)) try: object.getId() except: object = context # function shortcuts hasProperty = object.propertysheets.hasProperty getProperty = object.propertysheets.getProperty #... #end So, for ZPTs I call the script with 'here/cache', and I get: Published-Object: <ZopePageTemplate at index_html> ...'context' alone gives a handle on the item's container (e.g. Folder). This is fine. Now, for Files and Images, a set the Precondition to 'cache' and I get: Published-Object: <bound method File.index_html of <File instance at a045230>> ...the .getId() fails, and it uses context, which works (e.g. I can access the File's propertysheets), but isn't beautiful. However, this fails for ZCGI objects. I get: Published-Object: <bound method ZCGIFolder.index_html of <ZCGIFolder at /Base/ht-bin>> ...but 'context' refers to the <CMFSite instance>, /Base, not to the ZCGIFolder, /Base/ht-bin. So the question is this: what's the proper way to identify the object whose method has been bound to REQUEST.PUBLISHED, or if that's the wrong route, to simply, reliably identify the caller of a python script which can be called from a range of different object types?
