installing PIF in win32 zope
by Ian Hood 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

I am a newbie working through the zope book and tutorials. The zope book examples regarding Image manipulation states that the python PIF is required. The only info I can find for installing PIF is Unix/Linux oriented.. I am using the zope binary, and my config (as copied from control panel) is: Zope Version (Zope 2.7.4-0, python 2.3.4, win32) Python Version 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] System Platform win32 SOFTWARE_HOME C:\Program Files\Zope-2.7.4-0\lib\python ZOPE_HOME C:\Program Files\Zope-2.7.4-0 INSTANCE_HOME C:\Zope-Instance CLIENT_HOME C:\Zope-Instance\var is PIF included already? (in which case the exapmles failed) and if not, how do I install it into the existing zope?? I do not have a separate python installation, just the one with zope. I have the win32 install for PIF (1.1.4) but it complains about not finding a python installed in the registry, and fails. lil' help please? Ian No virus found in this outgoing message.

RE: Zope and mod_python

Thanks for the quick reply. A first very simple ApacheBench looked promising : + Apache2/mod_python with default number of Apache threads, etc vs + Zope instances with default number of threads shows that Apache2/mod_python is about 2 times faster. But this does not prove lots yet, as default number of Apache threads is high. I will try to optimize my zhandler code, specially the ZPublisher response (string containing the whole HTTP response) to mod_python response (I have to read HTTP headers and HTTP body to correctly set the reponse). I will probably just extend mod_python response object to be Zope Publisher compliant. I got the logging working (I mean the event log, cause of course Z2.log is useless as I don't run any ZServer). Well, each mod_python interpreter running one Zope handler print to the same log file, but at least it works. About the clean shutdown : as I don't run any ZServer, maybe there is nothing particular to do ? I have been looking at LifeTime.py code and it looks like shutdown code is only for ZServers.

I have not done a proper experiment but my impression is that if zope is busy, it takes a really long time to shut down when the zeo server has died... maybe there are write transactions pending and zope is patiently waiting for a zeo connection to handle them. Or something like that, I don't know. Haven't bothered to check it out because i so rarely need to shut down ZEO. It stays up pretty much forever. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

Programmatically setting default perms for products
by Jeff Gentry 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

Hello ... I am writing a disk-based product, and while I've set what permissions are required for various tasks using __ac_permissions__, what I really would like to do at this point is describe a set of default permissions for a newly created instance of my product (for instance, I want to set certain folders contained within to *not* acquire permissions, I'd like to set certain things to requrie authorized/owner/etc permissions, etc). I've looked around (perhaps I'm not asking the write questions to google and such) and have yet to find something that describes this. I'm assuming this is possible (perhaps it isn't, and that's why I can't find anything) - any hints? Thanks -J

Virtual Hosting with Sun iPlanet Web Proxy Server
by John Kavanagh 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

Hello, Zope Community. Has anyone used the Sun iPlanet Web Proxy Server to Virtual Host their Zope sites? We're running Sun iPlanet Web Proxy Server 3.6 and have configured Virtual Multihosting the following way: Virtual Mapping Host regex: sitename(|.domain.com)(|:80) Destination prefix: http://domain.com:8080/sitename It works fine when you type http://sitename.domain.com in to your browser. It brings up the correct page with the correct URL in the address bar. However, every internal (relative) link on the page reverts to http://sitename.domain.com:8080/sitename. I've tried the standard configuration with the Virtual Host Monster in conjunction but it didn't affect it. Thoughts? -- John Kavanagh Corporate Web Manager Earth Satellite Corporation http://www.earthsat.com

Getting Properties of Objects in Folders Within Catalog Results
by John Tynan 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

I am using the following script to get objects out of the catalog: objects = [] results = [] for object in context.Catalog(meta_type='Folder'):results.append(object) print results return results And I recieve the following results: [<mybrains instance at 22E275B0>, <mybrains instance at 14AEC958> ]However, I would like to get information about objects within each of the folders that are returned (such as the id and description of images that are contained in the folders). I know this information would not be part of each folder's entry in the catalog, but can it be obtained through aquisition -- perhaps if I know the path to the object? Can this be done using a python script to query the catalog, and then dtml to access the namespace for each folder? Thanks in advance, John T.
