You have a built-in Zope object for this : PersistentMapping. dict1=PersistentMapping({'a':1,'b':1,'c':1, ...}) dict1=PersistentMapping({'a':2,'d':4,'e':6}) The only thing you can not do compared to dictionaries is : for key in dict1: do something (you need to use for key in dict1.keys():...)

It is a little bit complex for me. I am very frustrated, as I can not find the solution for a pretty simple task: I would like to have persistent object with dictionaries. I think I do not need a ZClass or Product, just a simple object for holding mutable and persistent dictionaries (Manipulating with Script).

Graphical front end for Zope?
by John Poltorak 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

I don't suppose there is such a thing as a graphical front end for building Zope sites... I've just been trying out a Flash based product called SiteMaker http://www.moonfruit.com/ which made designing web pages a doddle. Just wish there was something which would simplify the building of a Zope site. -- John

Passing parameters using DTML
by John Poltorak 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

Can someone provide an example of passing parameters using DTML? I'm sure this must be doable, but don't see an example in the Zope Book. I assume it would go something like <dtml-var var1 parm1 parm2> but how would var1 pick up parm1 parm2? -- John

Error Compiling Zope
by Blackberry 19 Jun '05

19 Jun '05

I'm trying to compile Zope on a remote (hosting) server. It gets pretty far, but then I get this error: copying and adjusting test.py -> /home/furlist/public_html/GroupServer-0.1rc3/Zope-2.7.4-0/build-base/python-2.4/build-scripts error: /home/furlist/public_html/GroupServer-0.1rc3/Zope-2.7.4-0/build-base/python-2.4/build-scripts/mkzeoinstance.py: No such file or directory make: *** [build] Error 1 There is no mkzeoinstance.py but there is a mkzopeinstance.py. Is there a spelling error somewhere, or a missing file?

Softwarepatents: European Parliament will decide in 11 days
by Jan Ulrich Hasecke 19 Jun '05

19 Jun '05

Hi all! Please excuse this slightly offtopic posting: In 11 to 13 days the EP will decide about softwarepatents. So in the next days the members of the EP will make up their minds and read the guideline for the first time. Many MEPs do not understand what they read. There are 260 requests for modification, which they must read and understand too. There are some MEPs which will give recommendations to the members of their party, but these MEPs are lobbied by the big players, who want to have software patents in the EU. But you can change their minds. The FFII (www.ffii.org) read all requests of modification and made a recommendation "How to vote". Please phone your MEP, try to talk with him, but it is also ok to talk to his assistant, and ask him to follow the recommendations of the FFII. You will find more information here: http://noepatents.eu.org/index.php/NO_Software_Patents A list of all MEPs sorted by zip code: http://www.ffii.org/%7Eblasum/tmp/meps.txt The recommendations: http://europarl.ffii.org/amendments.en.html Please act immediately. The MEPs need your help to decide. This is not a joke. They do not really understand the issue. Please clarify them, how softwarepatents will change the IT-economy in europe. Tell them that your business and your employees are in danger when great companies sue them. Spend some hours to save the future of your business! juh -- DZUG e.V.

Using Catalog in a stand-alone application
by Noam Raphael 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

Hello, I intend to write a free (GPL) application for browsing and searching a large collection of classic Hebrew texts, such as the bible. I want to write it in Python, which is a language that I like very much. It is supposed to be a stand-alone application, which could be distributed on a CD. Some semi-special things I want the search to be able to do: It should be possible to select which books to search. I might want to allow some specific variations on the typed words, which are common in Hebrew. Another thing that may be nice is to find multiple results within one document, since some texts are quite long. I've found that Zope's ZCatalog is based on Catalog, which is said to be possible to run without the full Zope. If you are familiar with ZCatalog, perhaps you can help me a bit, or point me to places where to find what I need. I ask, first, if it is reasonable to use Catalog for such a task. I also want to know which parts of Zope are relevant for what I need. A general overview about how it works would also be very nice. Thank you very much, Noam Raphael

Zope 3.1.0 beta 1 released!
by Stephan Richter 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

Hello everyone, The Zope 3 development team is proud to announce Zope 3.1.0 beta 1. Zope 3 is the next major Zope release and has been written from scratch based on the latest software design patterns and the experiences of Zope 2. It is in our opinion that Zope 3.1 is more than ready for production use, which is why we decided to drop the 'X' for experimental from the name. We will also continue to work on making the transition between Zope 2 and Zope 3 as smooth as possible. As a first step, Zope 2.8 includes Zope 3 features in the form of Five. Please test this release carefully and send us any feedback! In particular, we have tried very hard to keep backward-compatibility with the previous X3 3.0 release, so please let us know if the new release breaks your code. Downloads http://zope.org/Products/Zope3/ Installation instructions for both Windows and Un*x/Linux are now available in the top level 'README.txt' file of the distribution. The binary installer is recommended for Windows. Zope 3.1 requires Python 2.3.5 or 2.4.1 to run. You must also have zlib installed on your system. Most Important Changes Since 3.0 - New Pluggable Authentication Utility (PAU), which is similar in philosophy to the Zope 2 PAS. The following features are available in the in the basic PAU facility: + Credentials Plugins: Basic HTTP Auth, Session + Authenticator Plugins: Principal Folder, Group Folder For a detailed description of the pluggable authentication utility, see 'zope/app/authentication/README.txt'. - Major simplifications to the component architecture: + Removal of the concept of a service. All outstanding services were converted to utilities: Error Reporting, FSSync, Authentication. + Site Managers are global and local now; adapters and utilties are directly registered with the site manager. Now global and local component registration and lookup behaves very similar. + Local registrations can now only have two states: active and inactive. This simplified the code so much, that 'zope.app.utility', 'zope.app.registration' and 'zope.app.site' were all merged into 'zope.app.component'. + Implemented menus as utilities. The API also supports sub-menus now. + Implemented views as adapters. Skins and layers are now simply interfaces that the request provides. - Added an integer-id facility for assigning integer identifiers to objects. - Added basic catalog and index frameworks. - Added "sources", which are like vocabularies except that they support very large collections of values that must be searched, rather than browsed. - Created a new granting UI that allows advanced searching of principal sources. - Implemented a generic user preferences systsem that was designed to be easily used in TALES expressions and via Python code. Preferences can be edited via 'http://localhost:8080/++preferences++/'. A demo of the preferences can be found at:: http://svn.zope.org/Zope3/trunk/src/zope/app/demo/skinpref/ - ZCML now supports conditional directives using the 'zcml:condition' attribute. The condition is of the form "verb argument". Two verbs, 'have feature' and 'installed module' are currently implemented. Features can be declared via the 'meta:provides' directive. - Improved API doctool: Code Browser now shows interfaces, text files and ZCML files; the new Book Module compiles all available doctext files into an organized book; the new Type Module lets you browser all interface types and discover interfaces that provide types; views are shown in the interface details screen; views and adapters are categorized into specific, extended and generic; user preferences allow you to customize certain views; 3rd party modules can now be added to the Code Browser. - Improved I18n-based number and datetime formatting by integrating 'pytz' for timezone support, implementing all missing format characters, and reinterpreting the ICU documentation to correctly parse patterns. - Added '++debug++' traversal adapter that allows you to turn on debugging flags in 'request.debug'. Currently the following flags are defined: source, tal, errors. - Improved logout support. - Added the HTTP request recorder, which lets you inspect raw HTTP requests and responses. It can be used to create functional doctests without requiring third-party tools such as TCPWatch. - Developed a generic 'browser:form' directive. It is pretty much the same as the 'browser:editform' directive, except that the data is not stored on some context or adapted context but sent as a dictionary to special method (by default). For a complete list of changes see the 'CHANGES.txt' file.
