button to submit with several parameters and call python script
by Alan 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi Dears, I am looking for ideas of how to use a submitting button to pass several parameters to a python script. I have googled but I found different solutions not really appropriate to my case I guess. I was trying something like this: <form action="do_status.py" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="jname:string"> <input type="hidden" name="juser:string"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> Then I defined my do_status.py with parameters jname, juser > print jname, juser > return printed and nothing is printed. But what I would like was something like clicking on a button I would call a specific python script with parameters, eg: <span tal:content="python: here.do_status(jname,juser)"> Any help here would be very appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

MySQL queries in Python
by Muk Yan 02 Aug '06

Dear Coveted Braintrust, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with MySQL queries in Python in Zope: import MySQLdb import string request = container.REQUEST session = request.SESSION result = (context.aq_parent).selects.select_from_table() print result return printed WHERE select.select_from_table() IS: SELECT name FROM person WHERE ID = <dtml-var "REQUEST.SESSION.get('person_id')"> I know the MySQL query works, but I get garbage results from the python script (<Shared.DC.ZRDB.Results.Results instance at 0x132a5c88>). All I want is to contain the results of the SQL query in a list or container. Thanks and take care, Muk Yan

RE: [Zope] Finding and Mass-renaming objects
by Sinang, Danny 01 Aug '06

> Look at the ZopeFind() and/or ZopeFindAndApply() methods as defined in OFS.FindSupport. I've tried ZopeFind() and it can indeed find the objects I'm looking for. Am now trying to use ZopeFindAndApply() to find and rename the objects found using "manage_renameObject()". However, since manage_renameObject() renames subobjects, I think I need to determine the parent-object or container of the found objects. Would anyone here know how to do so or suggest an alternate way of renaming these objects ? Regards, Danny
