how-to/tutorial on dynamic content?
by John White 02 Mar '00

02 Mar '00

I've walked through the beginning tutorials on managing zope. I was hoping there would be something similar to show a newbie such as myself how to use Zope's ODB to define some objects and create dynamic content pages based on them. The how-to list is a bit daunting; also I get the feeling that there's a level of jargon necessary just to figure out what documentation to read. I don't have that, so I haven't found what I'm looking for. Is there anything like what I'm looking for? John

How to check memory usage in Python
by Hung Jung Lu 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Hi, This is more a Python question. How can one check the RAM memory usage of a Python program from within itself? Is there such a function? (Is it platform independent? I mean, does such a function exist for most platforms?) If such a function does not exist in Python, how can one do it from Unix (or Windows) shell calls? thanks, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

DTML Mistotals
by Clint Shelby McCulloch 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Hi: I've been using DTML successfully to generate around 20+ reports outside of zope itself. The result come back from the DB as a pdf document. The solution has worked well. It looks like there might possibly be a bug in the dtml totalling process, however, when dealing with larger numbers. The results on one report are accurate for a 20 row table with smaller totals (say, e.g., 51518), but the larger totals are incorrect (e.g., it reports a number say in the 300,000 range rather than 1,378,835). The DTML for that column (the TOTAL column) is:  Has anyone else seen this? The version of DTML I'm using is from the last quarter or so of last year. Any ideas?
