Now you are able to use all the Mailman Python modules in all of you Python programs including Zope. 3. The methods (External Methods) I used: from Mailman import MailList def addMember(email, passwd): mlist = MailList.MailList('members') mlist.ApprovedAddMember(email, passwd, 0) mlist.Unlock() def delMember(email): mlist = MailList.MailList('members') mlist.DeleteMember(email) mlist.Unlock() Note: If you go and read the Mailman source code, you can figure out many more functions, that are just the 2 I used to add/delete members. 4. As I mention before, you should run Mailman and Zope as the same user to not conflict with the DB permissions. I never fully tested that though.

Re: [Zope] SiteAcess (Debian Fix)

The bug (number 76658) is listed on Debian's site: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=76658&repeatmerged=yes The fix (I had forgotten what it was) is stupidly simple: mkdir /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/SiteAccess/help A better fix is to fix ProductContext.py is lib/Python/App. I have an attached patch, but it doesn't seem like it's the right way to fix it. BTW: While you're making empty directories, you should probably make: /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/PlugIns/help Because in the Debian package, it has the same problem.

overriding manage_beforeDelete in a CatalogAware Product
by Dennis Nichols 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

I think I need help in overriding the manage_beforeDelete method from CatalogAware. Just to be sure I'm asking the right question, here's the background: I have a Product (in Python, not TTW) whose instances get cataloged in a separate ZCatalog called CommentCatalog. My product's class inherits from CatalogAware and other classes and can successfully index itself by calling thusly in the __init__ routine: self.manage_editCataloger('CommentCatalog') self.index_object() Reindex also works just fine. But I'm confused about how to get rid of the index entry upon delete. I think I need to set the catalog name and then call the inherited manage_beforeDelete routine. So I tried this: def manage_beforeDelete(self, item, container): "Be sure we unindex ourselves from our special catalog" self.manage_editCataloger('CommentCatalog') self.CatalogAware.manage_beforeDelete(item, container) Not too surprisingly, the code throws an "AttributeError: CatalogAware" into the Stupid Log File and doesn't remove the object from CommentCatalog. Of course I don't understand what the correct incantation is, so I'm appealing for guidance. Zope 2.2.2, Python 1.5.2, RH 6.2, etc Thanks! -- Dennis Nichols nichols(a)tradingconnections.com

Sending Application to User?
by Gary Perez 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

Hello, all. Here's what we're trying to do: User clicks on a link to open a remote interface to Box A on the network. The "remote interface" is really a python script that's run by Python on the client machine (not the Zope Box or "Box A"). We got it to work by specifying the MIME type in a DTML Method followed by the python code itself, again inside the DTML Method. Is there any way to first specify the MIME type in a DTML Method, and then point to either a) a .py file object in Zope, or b) a .py file in the external file system? I really don't want to edit the code in the method every time the module changes... I'd much rather just upload the new .py file. A <dtml-call "RESPONSE.getFile(filename.py)"> would be great... if it existed. ;) Any guidance is greatly appreciated. -Gary

How do I form an XML-RPC query to a remote server?
by Tony McDonald 17 Nov '00

17 Nov '00

Hi all, I'm experimenting with collating data from a remote database that uses XML-RPC. I can send it messages like; >>> import xmlrpclib >>> medweb = xmlrpclib.Server("http://bogus.server.com") >>> medweb.getImages('scar') '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>\015\012\011<data>\015\012\011\011<title>Medwebb Images</title> \0 (lots of stuff snipped) But I just can't figure out how to send the XML version of the same query, ie <?XML VERSION="1.0"?> <methodCall> <methodName>getimages</methodName> <params> <param> <value><string>scar</string></value> </param> </params> </methodCall> to the server. I've got a nasty feeling that when I get told how to do this, I'm going to slap my forehead bloody hard.... As you can see the data is returned in XML format, and whilst I'm fine with Python code for XML parsing (usually use sgmlop), I'm a bit lost on where to start here. An External Method seems the best way, but I'd like the received wisdom on this.
