Fighting htmllib in external method
by Jason Spisak 10 Oct '00

10 Oct '00

Howdy Zopsters, I want to catalog some html files but I want to strip the html tags out. htmlparser does a good job of that, but when I try to acces that from an external method, I run into trouble. import htmllib import formatter def index(self, html): fmtr = formatter.AbstractFormatter(formatter.DumbWriter(file)) p = htmllib.HTMLParser(fmtr) return p.feed(html) Since the DumbWriter uses stdout, this returns None. When I try to write to a temporary file, or pipe I get 'bad file descriptor' errors because of the way external method function I guess. Any help would really be appreciated. All my best, Jason Spisak 444(a)hiretechs.com

Disadvantages of using DTML
by Jason Spisak 10 Oct '00

10 Oct '00

Zopists, Can anyone tell me off hand any big disadvantages to not using DTML (Caching, etc...) and using a package like HyperText http://dustman.net/andy/python/HyperText to produce html display for your objects, and use python to process it? Jason Spisak 444(a)hiretechs.com

Re: [Zope] Newbie question : ZopeTime & permissions

"DateTime.DateTime" objects (and therefore "ZopeTime") are explicitely unprotected (and can be used by everyone). I tried your example as "Anonymous" (Zope 2.2.2) and it worked as expected (i.e. no NameError). Dieter

ZODB question: get older object versions without undo
by Philipp Auersperg 10 Oct '00

10 Oct '00

I have two questons concerning ZODB: 1. Since ZODB does not overwrite objects on change one can get the older versions when undoing the changes. My question now: how can I access older versions of objects without undoing transactions? (I had a short glance at the ZODB classes, but found nothing) 2.Is it possible ( or will be ) to define ZODB objects for which updates are done by overwriting and not appending to the object database - That is an important issue for objects that are subject to frequent and simple changes. For example Webcounters or Advertising banners that count the clicks. Solutions to write these changes into external files (like FSCounter) are not more than emergency solutions for me. thanks phil

You may look at URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/CatalogSupport.html It does the same as you want to do, but without the "formatter". Alternatively, you may try a "StringIO" instance as a file object. Finally, I can use files in external methods. You should, however, be careful as several threads can execute the same external method concurrently. Therefore, your files are better not global. Dieter
