Using md5 with allow_module
by Running Clam 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi, I have a need to generate an md5 hash for an XML fragment generated by TTW Zope code. I thought I could do this with "allow_module" - I have a pseudo-product with an __init_,py that contains: - # Global module assertions for Python scripts from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module allow_module("md5") In my TTW python script, I have: - import md5 hash=md5.new() hash=hash.update('test') ...but when I execute the script I get: - Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: The container has no security assertions. Access to 'update' of (md5.md5 object at 0xb98ab00) denied. I'm basing this on: - http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZDG/current/Security.stx ...specifically the section entitled " Utility Functions For Allowing Import of Modules By Through The Web Code". I thought I understood this, and have used it with other Python modules, but based on what is happening with the md5 module, I obvioulsy don't! Can someone clue me in, or point me towards more recent or explicit documentation, please? -- Cheers, Philip

[WARNING] Nasty bug detected in "ManagableIndex"
by Dieter Maurer 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Today, I detected (and fixed) a nasty bug in my "ManagabelIndex". The bug affects indexes with "TermType=='DateInteger'". When for such an index a "DateTime" value is converted to a "DateInteger", the input is rounded up to a "Date" rather than rounded down. Because this is applied uniformly to all "DateTime" values, the bug becomes visible only when true "Date" values and "DateTime" values are both involved. The bug is fixed in version 1.7.3 which can be found at <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope#ManagableIndex> After "ManagableIndex" is updated, all affected indexes needs to be reindexed (as otherwise the update makes things worse: the indexed values have used rounding up while the queries use rounding down). -- Dieter

[Zope] Wendy Stevens Nashville, So You Want To Start A Home Business
by Super Star 08 Jan '08

Wendy Stevens Nashville Tennesee, So You Want To Start A Home Business Wendy Stevens Franklin Tennesee So you want to start a home business, and don't know where to begin. Like any other business, research the company your interested in. Find out all you can about their business practices, their creditability, what they offer and exactly what you will be doing in this home business. When researching a business, keep in mind these 3 red flags: 1. Introduction Material Costs Money. This information should be free. It introduces the company, tells what they do, what they offer, and how to sign up. 2. Promise of Getting Rich Quickly in Less Than 10 hours a Week. Though it is possible, it isn't probable. It takes time to build a business and clientele. You should expect to work more than 10 hours a week, and it take awhile to build any income. 3. Limited Time Offers. A company is making promises (especially of quick wealth), but you only have a certain amount of time to enroll; I'd take a step back and reevaluate the situation. Generally, these are scams. There are reputable companies that use some of these techniques, just make sure to do your research. My best advices is look for a business that interests you, do the research to enable you to make the best decision possible, have realistic expectations, and enjoy your endeavors.

Five Point Capital, Searching for the Right Keywords through Staff Leasing Companies
by Super Star 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Five Point Capital, Searching for the Right Keywords through Staff Leasing Companies A growing number of websites compete to be among the top ten listings in the search results. This position gives them a higher possibility of getting more customers compared with a lower rank. Web marketers use several tools to achieve high rankings, probably one of the most important although others don?t realize, is keyword research. There are many tactics for optimizing a site to have high search rankings. But since most visits to a site start with a search engine click, optimizing a site for the right keywords is really critical. This is why keyword research is so important, right? It is really important that you will be able to target all relevant keyword phrases to be able to be among the top rank websites. You just can?t afford to guess the keywords often searched by people, or else you?ll see your businesses slowly toppling down. Searching for the right keywords for your websites doesn?t simply take a day or two. It would sometimes take a week or more. If this is so, how can busy people maintain or increase the ranks of their websites. Yeah, maybe it can be done, but how sure that it is done systematically and professionally? Hiring a new employee to do this can also be costly for a company especially if it is just starting. Some resort to webmaster staffing? Getting someone from a webmaster staffing company to do professional keyword research and other services can do no harm to your business; it is to your advantage, in fact. The company wouldn?t have to provide office space for the staff as they will be working in their own place but still under your directions. Plus, you?re free from hiring and training costs. Staffs from webmaster staffing companies like Agents of Value are already well-trained and were able to pass extensive screening process to be able to provide world-class services. Opting to hire from a webmaster staffing company can lessen your overhead expenses like overtime. This companies also charge lower for their services compared to others so you will be able to save in your labor cost. Most outsourcing offices are found in places with lower cost of living. Keyword research may sound so easy but finding the right ones takes time and effort. Only people who have the time, knowledge and training can do this efficiently. If you want to get your sites on the top list, a webmaster staffing company is the best choice for you to look for someone who?ll work it for your business! Annie Rose Pantas is a webmaster working for Agents of value, an outsourcing company that offers programming, online marketing and graphic designing services. Visit these sites and

Liberty League International, Signs Of A Real Internet Home Business

Liberty League International, Signs Of A Real Internet Home Business The world of internet home business is often clouded by people trying to scam opportunity seekers. This can make for a very disheartening and difficult process of finding a real home business opportunity. Part of the problem is that there are so many choices in home business opportunities. The internet has made home business something almost anyone can, no matter their budget. This also has created the perfect breeding ground for those who love to offer big promises but fail to deliver. In order to find a real internet home business opportunity a person has to understand how to spot a real opportunity from a scam. This may sometimes be tricky, but it can be done when a person has the right knowledge. One of the key differences between a real home business opportunity and a scam is that with a real opportunity the company is willing to tell everything up front. They make it clear what the business is and how money is made. They never try to hide anything or keep details vague. Another big sign of a real opportunity is that there will be plenty of people who are willing to back up the company. These people may be customers or even other business owners. People who have worked or who are working for a company are the best source of information. They will be able to give the real scoop about if the opportunity is real or a scam. Also look for a genuine, proven system of making money through the business. If there is not a clear way that money will be made then it is not likely to be a real home business opportunity. Finding a real home business opportunity is something that can be despite the many scams that seem to about there. There are plenty of real home business opportunities that can make a big profit and be successful. It is just all about weeding the real one from the scams. www.libertyleagueinternational.info www.libertyleagueconference.com www.beyondfreedom.com

I've been in this situation a couple of times before, and have not pursued the "allow_modules()" option because it was simple enough to create an external method. However, this "seemed" like a nice simple case where allow_modules() "should" work, so I wanted to get to the bottom of it and understand my previous problems. >From what you say, the most useful comment I could add to the wiki would be to quote your original response that "allow_module() does not work with all and everything" and add my own conclusion that if allow_module() does not work in a given case it is not worth spending much troubleshooting time on. I'm happy to accept your advice that allow_modules() simply won't work in all cases - but that's the advice I wish I'd found in the wiki 24 hours ago... -- Cheers, Philip

Thanks for the reply. The use case is that my client wants to block a range of IP addresses from being able to view their site. So I need to access the originating IP address and filter appropriately. I've written a few custom zope products before, but I've not done anything that really modifies zope's behaviour on every request - just on requests for the specific objects I'm publishing. So I'm familiar with the request object, but I don't know how to intercept *every* request. Are there any global request life-cycle hooks? If you can point me to those that would be a great help. Cheers, David

Hi All, Sorry Andreas - I hit "reply" instead of "reply-all", and sent my response only to you. Thanks for your reply.

IOW, how could I tell the difference between a module not being a candidate for allow_module() and an error in my own code? I understand that an external method or a product are my other choices, but I'm really uncomfortable about not understanding how I can tell when I can and when I cannot use allow_module() - at the moment, this feels horribly like "trial and error" coding! Enough people have struggled with this that I'd like to understand it well enough to add something to the wiki for the next person who has the problem... -- Cheers, Philip
