Has anybody tried Zope on Windows Server 2003. >From what I can tell it installs ok -- and appears to be running but attempts to access it via webbrowser ( locally ) fail. Is there something obvious I might be missing?

RE: [Zope] RE: Installing PIL on binary dist. of Zope 2.6.1 on Li nux...

Hi, Finally got it to work, well almost... I had to use python 2.1 to compile PIL, also, Zphotoslides, the zope product that started it all, requires PIL 1.1.3. Now the product appears, I created a zphoto slide folder. After I had put some pictures in it, if I make changes to a photo, these will appear in preview, but when clicking on modify, get message: Nothing has to be done. But that is another story... PIL is working. It's a long an winding road, all this to have some pictures of my new dog on the net :-) Thanks all, Francois > -----Original Message----- > From: Dennis Allison [mailto:allison@sumeru.stanford.EDU] > Sent: March 4, 2003 6:42 PM > To: Meehan, Francois > Cc: 'Dieter Maurer'; 'zope(a)zope.org' > Subject: RE: [Zope] RE: Installing PIL on binary dist. of > Zope 2.6.1 on > Li nux... > > > > On Tue, 4 Mar 2003, Meehan, Francois wrote: > > > > Since I have python 2.2 on my system, and did compiled PIL > with that, > > copying PIL in Zope/lib, the mix of python version might > create the problem. > >B > > How can I compile PIL with the python version that comes with Zope? > > > > Follow the same procedure you used to install PIL under > python2.2.

Indeed, By running /home/zope/bin/python, import _imaging gives: ImportError: /home/zope/lib/python2.1/_imaging.so: undefined symbol: PyType_IsSubtype Since I have python 2.2 on my system, and did compiled PIL with that, copying PIL in Zope/lib, the mix of python version might create the problem. How can I compile PIL with the python version that comes with Zope?

python variables rendered by dtml
by jwsacksteder＠ramprecision.com 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

This is going to sound convoluted, but trust me, it's this way on purpose. I have a python script that gets a result back from an unparameterized zsql query like this- foo = container.get_stuff_sql() I then make some alterations to 'foo' in my script which I will leave out for clarity. I then want to render 'foo' from a dtml method with a dtml-in clause. What is to best way to pass 'foo' into the dtml method? (I'm having internet problems and I can't get to Zope labs right now, or I'd look it up myself.)

RE: [Zope] persistent object with non-persistent attributes
by sean.upton＠uniontrib.com 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Thinking aloud: ...so myNonZopeClass instances need to be a singleton-like thing, with some sort of mutex-ish of lock to prevent other instances from being constructed? I wonder if there is a way to throw an exception on construction of a myNonZopeClass instance if another Zope thread has an instance. Perhaps you could keep an external boolean lock variable in a module-level global accessible to all threads, but it might just be easier to follow Toby's suggestion and just see if you can keep your myNonZopeClass instance object in a module-level global, and just keep a reference to it in a _v_ attribute? I've never tried anything like this, might something like this possibly work?

This is perfect ! But now how can I be use that no other thread access the hardware at the same time ? (if possible a single device open at Zope start or on-demand would be fine) I actually use a CGI script for this, but I wondered if using Zope instead wouldn't make it more "reactive".

Thanks all. Unfortunately I specifically need credit card transaction handlers, since that is the nature of our customer base. I will report my experiences regarding the vendor I choose to the list in the hopes that it might be useful to someone. AM Marc Burgauer wrote: >If you want to go down the easy route, use PayPal.

Re: [Zope] Customize the ZMI

For the general public we are using CMF. For myself and one or two other developers some work within the ZMI will be required. I would like to be able to make some enhancements for the way that we work and code. Is there any documentation on what dtml files control which part of the ZMI and where those files reside on the filesystem? >From: Andreas Jung <lists(a)andreas-jung.com> >Reply-To: Andreas Jung <lists(a)andreas-jung.com> >To: Michael Havard <nhavar(a)hotmail.com>, zope(a)zope.org >Subject: Re: [Zope] Customize the ZMI >Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2003 18:32:53 +0100 > >checkout the .dtml files of the zope distribution.

04 Mar '03

Hello Zopers, for the first time in my life a business asked me for a dinamical web site that can start off a cd rom. I gave them a demo made in Zope and now they ask me about the Zope license. I read the Zope license and I can translate it in Italian for them but I wonder wether ther's something more about the business use of Zope. Please help. This is SO important to me! Thanks so much!!

RE: [Zope] zope access to external files
by baiewola＠netscape.net 04 Mar '03

I can personally recommend LocalFS. We do exactly what you want to do, using a combination of LocalFS and local roles. All the LocalFS objects are in one folder. The index to that folder checks if a user has the appropriate local role, and only the appropriate objects are displayed for each individual. If you decide to implement this plan, we're happy to give you a copy of our index and the necessary python scripts. We have hundreds of LocalFS objects, so we spent some time constructing the index so the items appear in tabular format.

[Vote] PEP308 voting began
by Dieter Maurer 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Attention: cross post PEP308 is concerned with the introduction of a ternary conditional operator (something like an "if cond: val_true else: val_false") into Zope. In my view, such an operator would make TALES expressions easier because we could get rid of the "and/or" hack to represent conditionals and we could forget about the "test" function, which evaluates too eagerly. Please have a look at PEP308 and consider voting. Details in "comp.lang.python.announce". Dieter
