Posting another dumb question to the list now. ;) no, dot use a regular file! Use the tempfile module! And dont reopen but seek to the start - f.seek(0) You just open it for "rw".

Change object/role permissions w/ python?
by John Toews 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Hi all, I have a need to restrict anonymous access to an object until after a specific action occurs. For example, the View permission by default is restricted to owner and manager, but after a 'release' flag is checked, it is viewable to anyone. I can't seem to find a way to do this programatically, after googling for a few hours over the past few weeks. Is it possible? I think the user running the action would need 'change permissions' rights... is there anyway to override that? Thanks again! John

Can I just copy the zodb >into the a new zope instance and go? Yes, usually. That depends a bit on the Products you have installed. When you remove a product, all its instances will become broken (your zodb might contain such old instances even if unused). Or, if the product does some not-so-portable things like storing a full path to an external file as an attribute (there are some examples...) you'll have some problems if you install into another directory. But in general, if no such odd things happen, it's just "plug and play". Gabriel Genellina Softlab SRL

Java vs Zope
by David Johnson 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Good afternoon. I am new to Zope and I am excited about its possibilities. We are an ASP and plan to use Zope to improve our development process. I see that many people use J2EE based environments. Does anyone understand why? Why would anyone use Java? What am I missing? We're ready to go forward with Zope but I fear I might be missing something. Thanks for any opinions!

dynamically creating zip file, returning to user
by John Toews 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Zope 2.8.0, Python 2.3.5 I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to zip up some files in my zope instance and return them to the user. I can sucessfully create a zip file on the local file system, but if I try to pass it back to the user it is corrupted. Of course I'd rather not create this tmp3.zip file, so if there's a way around that (which I'm sure there is!) please do let me know. filename = 'test.zip' response = self.REQUEST.RESPONSE response.setHeader('Content-Type','application/zip') response.setHeader('Content-Disposition','attachment; filename=%s' % filename) # tried zf = zipfile.ZipFile( response, 'w' ) but get error, ZHTTP object doesn't have tell method zf = zipfile.ZipFile( '/tmp3.zip', 'w' ) zf.writestr( 'testfilename', str( self._getOb( testfileid ) ) ) zf.close() f = open('/tmp3.zip') return f.read() Any thoughts on what fairly obvious thing I'm doing wrong? Thanks! John

RE: [Zope] Re: ZServer threads and pool-size question
by Pascal Peregrina 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

I saw that once on Zope 2.8.4, cause I was using a connection in a independent thread not linked to any incoming request and had forgotten about it ;) Never since then, so it looks like threads = pool size is fine for my setup. Can you confirm this feature is included in Zope 2.8 ?

Not having extra connections available has the > potential to block the server. That's not true anymore in recent ZODBs. Zope 2.9 will never block and always allocate new connections as needed. It will log warnings if the number grows too much though.

It depends on how intensively you are using additional (application level) threads: Each thread using persistent objects requires in general (at least) one ZODB connection. As such threads are relatively rare, additional 3 connections is not too bad for the general case. -- Dieter ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

adding a custom attribute to a mybrain object
by Huron 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hi, I'd like to sort of add some metadata to a returned mybrain before it gets handed to the skin for display. I've been thinking that it could be possible to just do a 'setattr' on my mybrain ... but it's not working since the brain is a very special object relatively to it's attributes (from what I understand browsing the code). It there a way to do that properly ? Thanks in advance, -- huron

Sorry for the typo error at the last sentence. However, neither this nor the original logged_out dtml seems to work. Is it because I am using frames in my dtml that causes it or I am getting the concept of how Cookie Crumbler works - WRONG ? Thank you.

Javascript obfuscator and Zope
by David H 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi list, I am wondering if anyone is obfuscating JavaScript using a python script or product. I did some googling but nothing cropped up. Seems like a nice idea unless the realities of javascript obfuscation make the exercise pointless. Any thoughts? David
