Thanks, Someone else pointed that out as well (and I found it on the python module site too :$) but now I get a security error: Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access random in this context Even the "emergency" admin account can't seem to do it.

Random # generator
by John Toews 23 May '03

23 May '03

I know this is a stupid question, I'm feeling quite inept as a programmer right now, but I cannot figure out how to generate a random number. I've tried a few different methods but can't seem to get any good result. Code (Python script): import random g = random.Random() return g Result: Sorry, the requested resource does not exist. Check the URL and try again. Resource: random.Random instance at %MEMORYADDRESS% Thx.

Only the first 10kb or so of each file are saved, then obviously when you try to open them you get the same error as before.

Just info: Bad interaction between session and security
by Jean Jordaan 23 May '03

23 May '03

Hi all I'm posting this in case I can save someone coming later from some grief. I was stumped: playing through a series of forms in my app as manager, everything is fine. But when I login as a different user, Zope raises a KeyError at the final step. This is what I log: ==> var/z2.log <== ------ 2003-05-22T16:43:18 INFO(0) MyDebugLog assessment_add> == state == finish ================------ 2003-05-22T16:43:18 INFO(0) MyDebugLog assessment_add> a_session: {'currentstate': 'finish', 'assessed_path': '/qy/positions/pete_smith_OrganisationPosition_163027/pete_smith_OrganisationPosition_174202', 'assessment_type': 'q_1', 'assessed_type': 'OrganisationPosition'}------ 2003-05-22T16:43:18 INFO(0) MyDebugLog assessment_add> == state == finish ================------ 2003-05-22T16:43:18 INFO(0) MyDebugLog assessment_add> a_session: {'assessment_type': 'q_1', 'currentstate': 'finish'}------ The weird thing is that 'a_session' is only logged *once* for state 'finish' in my script. Yet here it is logged twice in the same second. The first time with all the necessary keys on the session, the next time with keys missing, causing a KeyError. It turns out that a call in my method was accessing an object for which the user doesn't have rights, but Zope showed no trace of this. The result was that Mozilla dropped all authentication info and the request was resubmitted, which triggered the second log: now as an unauthenticated user, without the necessary info on their session. It cost me a good few hours to cotton on .. -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za

How/where to store information
by Wim Bekker 23 May '03

23 May '03

I want to store some information in a 2x2 array. One index is Products, the other index is Components. The values are revision numbers. Everyday Products, Components and revision numbers can change. Since I'm just a starter, what are the ways to store these variables? Using properties is not the correct way, so I guess using a database? Where can I find the information I need? Wim

Can you tell if it has something to do with the file size? Perhaps the problem files are the only ones over some size, like 64K or whatever. Try saving to disk instead of viewing in the browser - you ought to be able to do that much - then see if the file size is right.

problems with Zope rendering PDF Files
by Williams, Rhian 23 May '03

23 May '03

Hi, Has anyone had problems with Zope not rendering PDF files properly? The pdf files are in a localFS object in Zope and are opened within the browers. Most files are ok but I am recently having problems with a couple of files. I get a "File is damaged and could not be repaired" message when I try to open it within Internet Explorer or Opera. The file is fine when I open it via the acrobat reader. The file is from an external provider so I cannot make changes or try to regenerate the file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Rhian

Best way of using SMTP server requiring authentication
by Bill Bell 23 May '03

23 May '03

Mailhost does not appear to make it possible to specify information needed to authenticate to an SMTP server. What is the best way of proceeding when this authentication is required? Thanks!
