Would this work with a single Windows Zope?

First, I strongly suggest you download and use the CVS version. A number of significant bugs have been fixed in that version. Second, it seems that you have mixed your metaphors. I would suggest that you use the binary distribution for Linux. Zope 2.5.1 seems to be the preferred version. It comes with Python 2.1.3 preinstalled and configured. When you incorporate products you need to do it relative to the Zope Python which is located in the INSTANCE_ROOT/bin/python. I believe that ParsedXML now requires PyXML at some level. The instructions are fairly complete and worked for me.

Re: [Zope] multiple MySQLDB connections.
by Dennis Allison 15 Aug '02

As usual, I figured that out just after posting. There's one other thing to remember, when you change the name of the connection you *must* touch (that is, re-edit) all of the SQL methods that reference it, otherwise they don't bind properly to the connection.

I am a newbie trying to set up a selection property with a python script. I call folder_obj.manage_addProperty ( 'prop_name', 'VALUE', 'selection', **but how do i add the list** ) and also try folder_obj.manage_addProperty ( 'prop_name', list_here, 'selection', 'select_variable=one_of_the_list' ) I have a list in my python script. Should i reference the list from a zope path. Drew

multiple MySQLDB connections.
by Dennis Allison 15 Aug '02

15 Aug '02

Argh... I have a database access problem. I have two database serviced by the same MySQL server. MySQL database adaptors are bound to a particular database with their connection string and appear to have a fixed name which is found by acquisition (or so it appears). If I want to access two databases, it looks like I want to have two MySQL database adaptors. The topology of my site is such that both adaptors really need to be in the same folder. But that causes a name conflict because of the naming conventions. What to do?

Changing DA
by Jim Penny 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

Suppose, I have many ZSQL methods using the foo DA, and want to switch, or at least test the bar DA. How do I programatically make the switch? I could swear that this has come up before, but I cannot find it. On a related question -- how does one determine the set of available connection ids? Thanks Jim Penny
