Python Script that modifies a document property
by Cary O'Brien 11 Apr '01

11 Apr '01

Frustrated... I want to have a python script that, when called from a dtml-document, will modify the properties of that document[1]. How do I get to the document itself? context and container both reference the the folder with the python script in it! -- cary [1] In the long run I want a unconnected (not-in-a-z-class) python script that can do things to a z-class that has properties and acts like a folder and has things in it. I want the script to be able to modify properties based on other properties, and access the sub-objects. Think workflow rules.

Re: [Zope] ZCatalog: linking to directory not file in directory?

I do not know of a way to index an object under the content of its "content_html". However, when the search results are interpreted, a trailing "content_html" component can be stripped off. This might give you duplicate hits and the meta data in the catalog do not fit the folder but the "content_html". Dieter

Re: [Zope] [newbie] too often request for user re-authentication

It is not completely usual, but it depends on your browser... You may read the "Authentication" section of URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html Browsers should (but are not required to) send authentication information automatically to any subtree they have got an authentication challenge for.

There is a special "LocalFS" mailing list (--> searchable list archives). "LocalFS" was there before the help system. Looks as if it had not yet been upgraded to the new possibilities. Dieter

Zope and Python Developer needed in South-Africa
by Etienne Labuschagne 11 Apr '01

11 Apr '01

Hi all I don't know if this is the correct newsgroup, but it's the only Zope newsgroup we know of. Feel free to point me to a more appropriate forum if I am in error! We have a position open for a developer who knows Zope fairly well and that (obviously) know Python and object oriented methodology quite well (If the person knows Python quite well but not Zope - he is at least teachable!). If the person's got some experience with JavaScript and web design - even better! We run a pure Python and Zope environment with JavaScript limited to functionality that we cannot reproduce with HTML and Zope (eg. zoom boxes). There is no need to mention if you have Visual Basic, VBScript or ASP knowledge - we don't care ;) (although it will not be held against you) Regards Etienne

insane Central Daylight Time, Zope 2.2.2
by Dennis Nichols 11 Apr '01

11 Apr '01

Most of the central US just went to daylight savings time last night and my Zope 2.2.2 installation seems to have decided to use UTC+2 instead of CDT (which is UTC-5). If I telnet into the server and check for the time, Linux gives me the correct date and time. I'll go looking for the problem now, but thought some of you may want to check if you have a similar wrinkle in time. The server is physically in the Eastern US time zone, we run it on Central Time, and I'm currently on Bangkok time (UTC+9). No wonder Zope is confused :-) -- Dennis Nichols nichols(a)tradingconnections.com

Weird PDB behavioramounts to canonic filename problem
by Andrew Athan 11 Apr '01

11 Apr '01

Does anyone have a clever way to fix this problem? Many of my breakpoints were not being hit. Turns out the reason is that there is a hodge-podge of different forms for the filenames reported in stack frames. I've seen D:/LongNameThing\file.py d:\LONGNA~1\file.py d:/LongNameThing\file.py D:\LONGNA~1\file.py This causes bdb.py's break_here function not to hit lots of good stuff, since emacs's gud's C-x b always uses the right form. By the way, put this in your .emacs ;-) There is a hook in bdb for a function called canonic() which is used to canonicalize all filenames. I can write it, but if someone has it already that'd be great. My debugging would run faster if there were some way to make sure that all .pyc's and/or .py's got the same filename format when executing. I don't have time to look into this. Is there any magic someone can incant for me? (add-hook 'pdb-mode-hook (function (lambda () (gud-def gud-break "break %d%f:%l" "\C-b" "Set breakpoint at current line."))))

Use of webdav client.py
by Fernstrom, Christer 11 Apr '01

11 Apr '01

I intend to synchronize two Zope servers (where files may change on either side between syncs) and thought I would try to use WebDav instead of FTP, since this will hopefully (!) help manage locks during the process. I have tried the client.py in the webdav folder (included in the zope 2.3.0 beta I use), but there are really very few clues as how to use it. I manage to create a Resource that represents an object on the server, and to do some simple operation, like myResource.get(). But how do I list a folder contents? (Zope sends back the index_html when I do get() on a folder). And what are the keyword parameters of the different functions ? And is there any documentation of what exactly the functions do? Also, will a WebDav lock prevent updates via Zope management screens? (I could of course try this, but if anybody knows already...). Any hints welcome. christer
