Re: [Zope] upgrade to python 2.2

>python 2.2 is not officially supported on any zope 2.x release. for 2.3.3 >i suggest you stick with python 1.5.2 since that is the officially >supported python version for the zope release. > I want to upgrade to at least python 2.0 because it has the os.popen2(...) to os.popen4(...) functions. I would change my Zope, too, if I have to. But all the complaining about bugs in Zope 2.4+ I have heard in this mailing list has kept me from doing so until now. So if I want os.popen2(...) to os.popen4(...) in my python, which Zope and python would you recommend?

MailHost broken because of Python 2.1.2 and socket
by Christian Theune 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

Hi. I have a problem with Zope 2.4.4b and Python 2.1.2: Using the Mailhost doesn't work, because the smtplib failes on using the socket with the function "sendall", which is documented in the python 2.1.2 docs to be available. But checking with a dir(socket) shows me that there is no such function. Do you have any hints for me?

upgrade to python 2.2
by Horst Wald 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

Hi, I am using Suse Linux 7.0, Python 1.5.2, Zore 2.3.2 and would like to upgrade to python 2.2 . Will I be able to do so without rebuilding my Zope? Do I have to remove my old python first? Any other problems I'm running into? Horst _________________________________________________________________ Testen Sie MSN Messenger für Ihren Online-Chat mit Freunden: http://messenger.msn.de

slow authentication popup in 2.5.0: dtml-sendmail in standard_error_message on winnt 4
by H.de.Wit＠SFK.NL 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

>AFAIK Hans is doing all this testing on a Windows 98 machine, not his >production system, so it's reasonable that he'd experience differences >between his production setup and his test setup. It is a windows nt machine not a w98. More testing: Clean installations, only with a mailhost it is de <dtml-sendmail> in the standard_error_message that does it. Removing it from the standard_error_message makes the authentication popup show immediately. In 2.4.3 the <dtml-sendmail> is not causing a pauze in the authentication popup to show. I took a different machine, also a windows nt 4.0 machine. The same. Then i tested it on our production server (don't tell my boss). That is a windows 2000 machine. There the problem does not show up. Ah, could it be OS dependent? Another windows 2000 machine No problem A windows 95 machine. It took 8 seconds for the authentication popup to show, without the sendmail it popped up immediately. Why would a sendmail in an error_message cause the authentication popup to wait for 25 seconds to show up,? even in the case that there is a misconfiguration of ..things.. I don't see the connection Is it OS related? It seems to be. Suggestions for more tests?

Houston, we have forked - ZMySQLDA keeps braking
by Micah Martin 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

I realize that this has been discussed here before but I was not able to find the information needed. I've tried the ZOPE_SECURITY_POLICY=PYTHON trick to no avail. The sympton is that zope restarts for some reason and when it restarts, it cannot import the ZMySQLDA product.... Any Ideas? log = 2002-02-13T18:41:56 ERROR(200) zdaemon zdaemon: Wed Feb 13 12:41:56 2002: Aiieee! 31297 exited with error code: 4 ------ 2002-02-13T18:41:56 INFO(0) zdaemon zdaemon: Wed Feb 13 12:41:56 2002: Houston, we have forked ------ 2002-02-13T18:41:56 INFO(0) zdaemon zdaemon: Wed Feb 13 12:41:56 2002: Hi, I just forked off a kid: 31303 ------ 2002-02-13T18:41:56 INFO(0) zdaemon zdaemon: Wed Feb 13 12:41:56 2002: Houston, we have forked ------ 2002-02-13T18:41:59 ERROR(200) Zope Could not import Products.ZMySQLDA Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py, line 531, in import_product File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/Products/ZMySQLDA/__init__.py, line 106, in ?

wondering how people tackle this in Zope
by Tom Deprez 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

Hi, People want to make here some teaching files, which can be read from any PC. So they were told to use html. and to use a database to make references to pages... But they don't have any knowledge of html, etc! They work with MSWord etc... Now, I'm wondering how this can be done in a more object manner... but I've problems to find out how much 'object-oriented' I've to work... The teaching files consist of pages with text and images. The amout of text boxes and images can be different. I don't know, but probably the best way is just to use html for the layout? Or is there a better way? Inside these pages would also be now and then links which go to another page... is there a way to not hard-code this link? Problably with using the catalog and search for content. Which experience to most people have to catalog such dtml_document or ZPT? do you use seperate objects for keywords, etc..? Or so you just catalog the whole document? Now, they will use html, but aren't there better ways, which give nice results as well? ie the use of structured text, or something else? Or would converting the word documents to pdf and then put these pdf's as objects inside zope? Do people have experience it this? Thanks, Tom.

Referencing properties of child items
by Kevin Carlson 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

I have a small application that is attempting to populate a portion of a page with the value of a property that belongs to a child item. I have passed the ID of the child item into the dtml page that is handling the request and can properly render the child item ( a jpeg) but cannot seem to extract a text property from the child item and have it display. I am calling the dtml like this: http://localhost:8080/photoAlbum/xxx/yyy/test_html?pic=01 where the pic value represents the id of the picture I want to display. Each pic has a property named "desc" that contains some text I want to display. I have tried numerous things but can't seem to get to the property value. Can anyone offer a solution? Thanks, Kevin

We are considering zope as our content management framework, and are looking for consultants in the Minneapolis area who would be able to: 1. Come in and discuss how zope would fit into our IT requirements 2. Work with us for an extendted time frame to design and implement the core framework for our intranet. I'm looking for Zope expertise in our area if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks Powered by the E-mail PIM - Info Select - www.miclog.com

Re: [Zope] Menu of Timezones
by John Wheeler 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

Thanks for the reply and the link. What made me think this was possible was lines 673-675 in the page you gave the link to: "The module function Timezones() will return a list of the timezones recognized by the DateTime module. Recognition of timezone names is case-insensitive." I forgot to mention that I did look at the DateTime.py in the version of Zope I'm running (Revision: 1.68.2.2 instead of 1.68.2.1 in the page you pointed to), and the last four lines are: # Module methods def Timezones(): """Return the list of recognized timezone names""" return _cache._zlst If this isn't standard, though, there's not much point in persuing it, so I guess I will just hardcode the ones I think will be most useful. >From: "Andy" <andy(a)agmweb.ca> >To: "John Wheeler" <jdw27_42(a)hotmail.com>, <zope(a)zope.org> >Subject: Re: [Zope] Menu of Timezones >Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 15:04:38 -0800 > >If you read the DateTime docs there is absolutely hint of a method that >returns the list of time zones.
