External method default arg weirdness
by Paul Winkler 07 May '01

07 May '01

This is with Zope 2.2.2. If I give a default argument to the external method, and call it from a dtml method, the default gets used even if I pass the argument. Example: Try creating two external methods and calling them like this from standard_html_footer. <dtml-var "my_ext_method1(_['id'])"> <dtml-var "my_ext_method2(_['id'])"> Here are the two external method definitions: def my_ext_method1(id): return "<br>%s" % id def my_ext_method2(id="oops"): return "<br>%s" % id Anybody else get this? Why does it do that? -- ................... paul winkler .................... custom calendars & printing: http://www.calendargalaxy.com A member of ARMS: http://www.reacharms.com home page: http://www.slinkp.com

I found this in my travels today - though it doesnt spotlight Zope in particular it does compare: Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl, and Java servlets its at devworks: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/script-survey/index.html DK On Mon, 07 May 2001, "Tommy Johnson" wrote: > > ><experiencedwiththemallme> > >From static HTML -> ASP = Wow! > >From ASP -> PHP/Coldfusion = Chock! > >From PHP/Coldfusion -> Zope = Heart attack! > ></experiencedwiththemallme> > > This is exactly the way I progressed: > HTML to ASP > ASP to ColdFusion > Coldfusion to Zope > > And I am experiencing a heart attack, along with a stroke.

is ZEO the answer?
by Erik Myllymaki 07 May '01

07 May '01

I would like to publish my Zope site internally (Intranet) via HTTP AND externally via HTTPS (Internet). Should I be looking at ZEO or another option? Using on HTTPS server for both would be the easiest, but the intranet use is pretty heavy and I don't want to incure the overhead of SSL on what doesn't need to be encrypted. Thanks in advance, Erik Myllymaki erik(a)pacific-shores.com

Sure, I will put up what I current have, but I have also thought about this over the weekend and came up with some ideas on how to perhaps make this work, although I do not know how practical it will be, so, please let me know if this is possible or not: In A, in _getOb (currently encapuslated with ## Right here ##), I have been tinkering on how it has been working. I tried to return the instance of A instead of creating another B, and it works fine. I have a hunch there is elements in A when Zope creates the object that just is not passed onto B that contains information about the Zope session that it would like to have. Only problem is if you do a B = A, it is a reference. B and A at this point would have the same memory location and would not be useful. Also, since B has some differences to A, structurally, it won't help out there evil. I think the way to fix this is to copy properties from A and B, but I am not sure which ones are there nor what properties exist on A (other than A.REQUEST). How can one copy objects such that B = self? Even this I am not sure because object B has to be created by what is defined in class B... Any thoughts?

Re: [Zope] Where may I find some discussions about the pros and cons of Zope vs ASP vs PHP, etc...
by dave＠kovach.com 07 May '01

Hi - I havent found a concise comparision between the 3... and I dont think there will be anything. At least nothing that trys to equate out php, asp, coldfusion and zope. Maybe the first 3. But, zope is a breed all its own. I come from an ASP background - and Zope marvels me nearly every day. Like yesterday, I exported and imported 1 object (which was my whole site - or an object that contained all other site objects) to a remote web-host server. And, in one fell swoop my site went from my dev. box to my production box just like that! The brilliance of an oodb running behind your applications just purely separates zope from anything else. But, because its capabilities are to place presentation, application and data logic into 1 tier - while maintaining the FLEXIBILITY of keeping your presentation logic separate from app. logic etc.... it gets pretty deep pretty quick. ASP is a fine solution. But, Zope allows you to make yourself feel smart again - when you accomplish something like listing out a "recordset" into a table and it doesnt require you to write mountains of mundane "I already wrote that like 52,000 times" code to do so. You feel smarter cause for once - doing things take less time and you dont have to feel like a slave to ASP. I fact that its oo based and extendable beyond belief with python... its silly! But, for private projects where I am the sole person making decisions ZOPE is great. But, shifting an ASP shop with 15 coders working on something to ZOPE doesnt seem likely today. Cause Zope isnt as easy as writing a bunch of RESPONSE.WRITE's - but, ZOPE wont leave you with smelly stinky embedded vbscript everywhere either. By all means, write me if you got specific questions.

Apparently, something leaks file descriptors. You must find the leak: "lsof" seems to be a magic wand to analyse file descriptor problems. I did not use it myself, as it requires root privileges. But maybe, it can help you. I (without "lsof") would use "netstat" to determine whether sockets are leaked or files. For sockets, it is possible to determine the peers and get a feeling, what use makes problems. For files, I would use "fuser" (the weaker brother of "lsof") to find out which files are unexpectedly open or open by two many processes. As soon as the file is located, it would probably be clear, where to find the problem. Dieter
