python-script to python-script XMLRPC
by Dennis Allison 11 Jan '04

11 Jan '04

I have a system which uses XMLRPC to execute zope methods remotely for administrative purposes. I shamelessly borrowed the xmlrpcBasicAuth code (thanks Amos and Chris) used by ZSyncer to provide a xmlrpc server proxy with BasicAuthTransport. To execute a method remotely, I first create a server server = Server( url, username='...', password='...') where url references the object upon which the method is to be applied or the object which contains the object to be executed. To execute a method with id of foo, on then executes getattr( server, 'foo')( [params] ) where params is a dictionary containing the name/value pairs needed by the method. This works for DTML methods, but fails for Python Scripts with diagnostics related to mismatched counts of parameters. For the moment, I've worked around the problem with a DTML method wrapper for my python script, but thats ugly! What's the right Python Script interface to be called by XMLRPC?

MGMT Interface
by SDA 11 Jan '04

11 Jan '04

Hello: Newbie here to Zope. I recently installed Zope on Debian (Sarge), and from the get go there were some issues. Namely the 'default' setup was missing, so I couldn't get it started. A little reading of the docs helped get that sorted. Now, I can't get into my Management interface. I have set the password, both my using the 'zopectl -a access' switch, and by issuing 'python zpasswd.py access'. However no dice, still can't login with the pwd/log setup with either/or methods above. Any suggestions? Thank-you. -- Stephen

Some installiation bug for zope-exuserfolder and related
by Federico Andrade 11 Jan '04

11 Jan '04

Hi, I dunno if this is the right place and if you already fixed this, and sorry if this is not the way to report a bug (I don't have the time to RTFM, I just want to do a quick install). Anyways, here's my two cents: I got this message when trying to install zope-exuserfolder (0.10.10-5), (and related stuff) using debian's dselect utlility on a debian 2.4.18-bf2.4 unstable: : Setting up zope-cmfplone (1.0.5.20030909-2) ... postinst cannot determine the version of python used in /usr/sbin/zope-z2 ... please file a bug report. dpkg: error processing zope-cmfplone (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of plone: plone depends on zope-cmfplone (= 1.0.5.20030909-2); however: Package zope-cmfplone is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing plone (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Setting up zope-exuserfolder (0.10.10-5) ... postinst cannot determine the version of python used in /usr/sbin/zope-z2 ... please file a bug report. dpkg: error processing zope-exuserfolder (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: zope-cmfplone plone zope-exuserfolder E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again Press enter to continue. : The problem seems to come from /usr/sbin/zope-z2 in this (only) line: exec python2.2 -O /usr/lib/zope/z2.py $@ should be: exec /usr/bin/python2.2 -O /usr/lib/zope/z2.py $@ based on the regular expression from postinst located at: /var/lib/dpkg/info/zope-exuserfolder.postinst After that it works fine. Regards, Federico.

zope2.6.3 and zclass+property sheets+catalog aware
by Bakhtiar A Hamid 11 Jan '04

11 Jan '04

hi just upgraded my zope 2.6.1 to zope2.6.3 and went thru hell :P the setup: i have a CatalogAware ZClass (sorry, this has been in existence since early 2000) that uses propertysheets to store properties. this has worked since zope2.0 till zope 2.6.1(well, actually the zope version is between zope 2.6.1 and zope2.6.2, from cvs) last night i upgraded to zope2.6.3, and everything looked ok. but when users tried adding in the zclass instance, or updating older instance, the propertysheets never got changed! that makes users mad. this zclass also works on zope2.7.0b3, that i can be sure. i haven;t yet tried this on zope2.7.0b4 i also tried another simple zclass and that b0rked too. i then created a new zclass, that subclass ZClass: objectManager, nad put in two properties of string and text. adding an instance shows the same problem. no tracebacks. everything adds fine. just nothing in the properties :P the question: what might have cause this trouble? CHANGES.txt mentioned some changes with PropertyManager. but the affected fileds/types used in my ZClass are mostly text and string thanks for any hints and help

That was actually my first thought, but how do I find the directory in which my product? This is how I have done it ... dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__) zpt = os.path.join(dirname, 'zpt') index_html = open(os.path.join(zpt, 'index_html.zpt')) text = index_html.read() ob.manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'].manage_addPageTemplate( 'index_html', '', text) I could not find PageTemplateFile from my script... it is not in Globals with HTMLFile. I also found package_home in Globals while looking through ZopePageTemplate.py but I am not quite sure how to use it. Thank you for your time. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses. Get 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

how to define a class for use in scripts
by Istvan Albert 10 Jan '04

10 Jan '04

Hello Folks, here is a problem that I was so far unable to make any notable progress. I want to be able to use a custom class in my python scripts. in python I would create a file say User.py and put in it: class User: set(self, user_id): self.user_id = user_id In my scripts I want to be able to do a: import User user = User.User() user.set(1) I do not need a product! I think I understood how do those work and I have made some simple products myself. But those need to be added individually. ZCLasses seem to be no good either. These also seem to be static objects that are instantiated once and then only their properties change. This user class needs to be created as an instance and multiple instances may be present if there are multiple users. I've read a lot of documentation and still have no clue whether it is possible to do this without tinkering with the internals of the system. I have full access to any part of Zope, what I'm hoping is to be able to put this file in a place that allows Zope to use it. Is there such a place? thanks for the help folks, Istvan.

OT:looking for info/ideas on "Open Source Business Models"
by robert 10 Jan '04

10 Jan '04

Hi all, I am going to give a speech on "Open Source Business Models" for which I am searching ideas and concepts. What I would like to show is why and where OSS provides a better base to make business than closed source. A main focus should not be how to provide "big" software packages like Zope/ Mysql/et al but on what business could be buildt around them. Any Ideas and pointers would be greatly appreciated. Robert
