zshell question: find vs ZopeFind
by Jean Jordaan 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

Hi there Does anyone know why this works fine using zshell: find Control_Panel --type "DataSkin Attribute Property Sheet" while this (from a Script (Python)) returns nothing? objs = context.ZopeFind( context.Control_Panel.Products.ZCrm, obj_metatypes=['DataSkin Attribute Property Sheet', ], search_sub=1) -- Jean Jordaan Upfront Systems http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za

Inserting data into a catalog with dtml
by abg＠comco-inc.com 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

I'm trying to pull data from an odbc database and insert it into a zcatalog. For reasons I won't go into, I need to use DTML to accomplish this. I'm able to pull the data using ZSQL, but can't figure out how to drop it into the catalog with a DTML command. Any tips? TIA, Aaron abg(a)comco-inc.com

zope for collaborative development
by Robert Boyd 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

Hello all, I am investigating using Zope for building something similar to SourceForge's commercial products -- meaning projects hosted on our servers, with access restrictions/rules, forums, issue-tracking, and hopefully somehow tied in with cvsweb or another cvs interface. I have minimal experience with Zope, and it seems the standard Zope is more for web content management (correct me if wrong). Could Zope be suitable for collaborative software development? Thanks for your input. Rob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

Parsed XML
by Dennis Allison 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

I have been using the ParsedXML product. Anyone else out there with experience using this product? My immediate concern is performance. Relatively simple operations take long times. For example, I have several related chunks of ParsedXML ranging in size from 1K to 14K and averaging about 5K. (Of course that doesn't say much about the structural complexity, but it's fair to say that each xml document has 20 to 100 nodes. I have an External Method that PrettyPrints the XML and writes the result to a file. For the 60K of XML it takes 72 seconds of (mostly) dedicated processing. Any ideas why ParsedXML exhibits poor performance?

Mystery error: "The resource you requested is temporarily unavailable"
by Milos Prudek 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

Hi all, I'm quite desperate. Code that worked fine on local server fails miserably on a production server. The error message does not contain a traceback. This is the error message: ! Temporarily Unavailable The resource you requested is temporarily unavailable - please try again later. (116) unable to connect, fd=3 I'm not posting the source code at this stage because it is quite long. I just need to know what this error message means. -- Milos Prudek

Double dtml-in does not work?
by Jaroslav Lukesh 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

Hi, I have that construction in "index_html" method (Zope 2.4.0). If it find file "index.htm" in directory, then it will show it without header and footer. In other case it will render as structured text whole content of directory. But it show only header and footer without contents of directory. <dtml-in expr="objectValues()"> <dtml-if expr="_.string.find(_['id'],'index.htm')==0"> <dtml-if sequence-start><dtml-var index.htm> </dtml-if> <dtml-else> <dtml-if sequence-start> <dtml-var standard_html_header> ......this second dtml-in does not work: <dtml-in expr="objectValues('File')"> <h3><dtml-var navi_BANNER></h3> <p><dtml-var sequence-item fmt=structured-text> </dtml-in> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> </dtml-if> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> I am very begginer, sorry for stupid question.

REQUEST.PUBLISHED ?
by Julián Muñoz 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

Is this the way to allow that a python script can only be called internally, not directly from the web ? if container.REQUEST.PUBLISHED != script: My code I know there is also the LockableFolder, but in this case I can't use it (because I am in another kind of folder)

Re: [Zope] Python script: problem with session
by Chris McDonough 13 Jun '02

The copy method of a dictionary returns a "shallow" copy of the dictionary. If you are changing elements of the dictionary that are themselves mutable, you will still have problems. Here are the rules (from the Python docs): The difference between shallow and deep copying is only relevant for compound objects (objects that contain other objects, like lists or class instances): a.. A shallow copy constructs a new compound object and then (to the extent possible) inserts references into it to the objects found in the original. b.. A deep copy constructs a new compound object and then, recursively, inserts copies into it of the objects found in the original. Providing you with more information would require that we know all the items in the 'foo' dictionary. If any of them is mutable, and you're changing it, you would see the behavior you describe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "p.t." <p.training(a)tin.it> To: "Chris McDonough" <chrism(a)zope.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 12:17 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Python script: problem with session > Sorry, Chris, you are right. > "not working" means that the assignment is Ok, but the chamges are still > reflected on the referenced item. > p.t. > > At 10:38 12/06/2002 -0400, you wrote: > >When you say "not working" what does that mean?

Python script check for existence of variable - there has to be a better way to do this.
by Ria Marinussen 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

Hi, In a database I have some information about our employees. Some fields are not filled in, so there value is NULL. When iterating over the results of a ZSQL query (select * from "Medewerkers") the non-existent variables (value=NULL) are reported with the word "None". I don't want show this keyword in my report-table, so I've created a python script that checks for the existence of the variable, and when it doesn't exist, I fill in a non-breaking space html -code. Basically I do two things in the script: I check the parameter and generate the name of the variable (that has to be checked)based on the parameter entered. Next I generate the output and return it. I'm convinced that the first part (check parameter, generate variablenaam to check) can be done in a more elegant way (less code), but trying to concatenate the value of the parameter to "context." isn't working.... Ideas, anyone? I use this (and more) in my dtml-document: <table> <tr> <td><dtml-var "bestaat(test='voorletters')"></td> <td><dtml-var "bestaat(test='voorvoegsel')"></td> <td><dtml-var "bestaat(test='achternaam')"></td> </tr> </table> The script is named "bestaat": ## Parameter list test ## Bound Names context, container, script, _, traverse_subpath # Check the input and set the variable to check if test == 'voorletters': quest = context.voorletters elif test == 'voorvoegsel': quest = context.voorvoegsel elif test == 'titel': quest = context.titel elif test == 'telefoon': quest = context.telefoon elif test == 'telefoon_bgg': quest = context.telefoon_bgg elif test == 'login': quest = context.login elif test == 'leerstoel': quest = context.leerstoel elif test == 'kamernr': quest = context.kamernr elif test == 'geslacht': quest = context.geslacht elif test == 'foto': quest = context.foto elif test == 'faculteit1': quest = context.faculteit1 elif test == 'faculteit2': quest = context.faculteit2 elif test == 'emailadres': quest = context.emailadres elif test == 'achternaam': quest = context.achternaam else: quest = 'missing' # Generate the output if not quest: regel=' ' else: regel=quest return regel TIA, Ria Marinussen Webmaster Department of Computer Science University of Twente The Netherlands
