Aha... http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZEO/QuorumBasedReplication Jim's heading this up. We had a professor from George Mason University in here and everything.

Unfortunately, there are a few exception (like "Resource not Found") that are build into Python code (sigh). Dieter

Creating folders in LocalFS
by Aaron Williamson 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

I have a LocalFS object within a directory, and in the same directory I have a method which I want to use (among other things) to create new folders within the LocalFS object, which is called "pictures." If I try pictures.manage_addFolder(id) the folder gets stuck in the directory it is called from, not in pictures. There doesn't seem to be any specific docs on this, so I am at a loss. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. --Aaron

What is the proper way to reference multiple files like this? Is > this the proper way to use HTMLgen? You must make sure that your modules are found via the Python path mechanism. You may extend "PYTHONPATH" to include the directory, where you have placed your modules. However, I would follow a DC recommendation: Create a subfolder "<company_name>" in the directory ".../lib/python/Shared" and place your company specific infrastructure there (maybe in subfolders). From Python, you would access it by: form Share.<company_name> import .... i.e. as a Python package. Do not forget, to provide a "__init__.py" file in each package directory. It may be empty. Dieter

Re: [Zope] Implementing full text search

It is difficult to have the dtml-vars inserted, at least in the general case. Many DTML methods and documents need a context (client, namespace, REQUEST) to be rendered. Without this context, currently no provided by ZCatalog, rendering would throw exceptions and the document would not be cataloged. Probably, you can filter away all DTML and HTML tags. You would give "DTMLMethod" a new method, say "filteredSource". "filteredSource" could use sgmllib (or, more efficiently, sgmlop) to just keep the pure text and resolve simple character entities. Yes, it needs a Zope extension and it requires programming in Python. Dieter

Maybe, you are hit by one of the catalog/lexicon bugs. Look in the archives or the collector (http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector) Search for "lexicon bug". Dieter

Re: [Zope] The proper usage of Sequence-item

However, as a user, I would not be too happy to get the internal field names. Recently, I did something similar to you. However, I used a list of dictionaries to describe the form. Each list entry describes one form field as a dictionary with keys "name", "title", "type", "condition", ... The description is used both for creating the form and for verifying that all requirements are met. Dieter

Telecommuter
by Luis Cortes 19 Jul '00

19 Jul '00

Hi, I was wondering if anybody has some odd jobs for me to do with Zope or Python. I am availiable for telecommute positions. I have 5 years experience as a programmer/software engineer and I have recently picked up Zope and Python, but already I feel like an old pro. Drop me an email or give me a call (505) 824-9424. Thanks, Luis.

RE: Date time format

Oops! Change those "==" to just single "=". Too much Python on the brain . . . -----Original Message----- From: Spicklemire, Jerry Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2000 12:15 PM To: 'wai(a)mahirnet.com' Cc: 'zope(a)zope.org' Subject: Date time format The DTML User Guide has an "Appendix A" that shows lot's of options, but no examples. Anyhow, see: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/DTML-HTML/DTML.18.html You can use these like so: <dtml-var ZopeTime fmt=="%Y/%m/%d"> <dtml-var ZopeTime fmt=="AMPM"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('d_Date',ZopeTime().strftime('%Y/%m/%d'))"> <dtml-var d_Date> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('d_Date',ZopeTime().strftime('AMPM'))"> <dtml-var d_Date> You can also use Python slicing syntax to do something totally ridiculous like this: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('z_t',ZopeTime())"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('z_sec',_.int(z_t))"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('day_t',_.string.split(_.str(z_t))[1])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('hour_sec',_.int(_.string.split(day_t,':')[0]) * 3600)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('min_sec',_.int(_.string.split(day_t,':')[1]) *60)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sec_t',_.string.split(day_t,':')[2])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sec_sec',_.int(_.string.split(sec_t,'.')[0]))"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sum_sec', hour_sec + min_sec + sec_sec - 1)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('start_sec', _.int(z_t) - sum_sec)"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('end_sec', start_sec + 86398)"> <dtml-var "_.DateTime(start_sec)" fmt="AMPM"><br> <dtml-var "_.DateTime(end_sec)" fmt="AMPM"><br> to find the first and last seconds of a date.
