You did say development, right? I'm running a personal Zope installation (not by choice, but by reason of poverty) on a 486-DX, 66mhz, 16 megs of RAM, with SuSE 6.4 Linux. It works fine, (no, really!) but I sure wouldn't put a load on it. Only about twenty other people even know about it/use it sporadically, so that hasn't been a problem. jb ------------------------------- Jonathan Broad DoITNET Webadmin--- ---Resource Center Librarian "For a list of the ways which technology has failed to improve our quality of life, press 3."

You need a patch found at HTTP://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/localfs.pat With this patch, you do it the same way as for DTML methods/documents. > 3)Can I combine LocalFS and Yihaw???

You could use an external method that renders (calls) the DTML method/document and writes the result to the file system. HTTP://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/CatalogSupport.html shows you the rendering part. I, however, would probably use "wget" to extract the rendered pages from Zope and store them externally. Dieter

interating though REQUEST.form in python???
by Kevin Howe 08 Aug '00

08 Aug '00

I'm trying to do a FOR statement to loop though items in a REQUEST, but keep getting errors: def myMethod(self,REQUEST): for name,value in REQUEST.form: # do this I've tried variations: for name,value in REQUEST.items: for item in REQUEST.form.items: for key in REQUEST.keys: but none seem to work. When I used "return REQUEST.form", a Dictionary was displayed like so: {'item': 'val1', 'item2':'val2', etc.} so I tried fetching it as a plain dictionary: form = REQUEST.form return form.keys but no luck. Is it not possible to access the REQUEST methods via python? Kevin

Works fine as a desktop machine. Kind of a pain to plug/unplug the cables all the time. I can run a couple of zopes, pgsql, heck I even had Oracle on it for a while. You might need a bit more oomph for java development. The problem with the laptop is probably not the CPU/ram (well, get 64MB ram if you can) but the screen resolution and the pointer. Zope at 600x800 is tight. The little eraser-head pointer is a pain, and Zope development tends to need a lot of mouse action. I usually carry along a mouse. Even on the desktop (i.e with a monitor and keyboard plugged in) I am limited to 1024x768 8-bit color with a bad refresh rate. -- cary

database functions & zope
by Stephen Nosal 08 Aug '00

08 Aug '00

Folks - How do I execute SQL statements such as select count(*) from db_table? I'm running zope 2.2 with the SybaseDA 2.0b2. My connection to the database works fine, ie select * from small_table where amount>1000 produces a valid result set. Using just the DA connection test, the statement select count(*) from db_table comes up with the error: Error Type: ValueError Error Value: Empty column name, Any insight here would be great - I couldn't find anything documented about database functions. - Steve __________________________________________________________________ Get your Private, Anti-Spam, Free Email at http://e3mil.com and Step into a Friendly Universe!
