re: the ZSQL question... ZSQL methods return a Results object, there's a nice how-to at: http://www.zope.org/Members/spinwing/ZSQL_Results hope this helps, Ben Leeuw van der, Tim wrote:
Hi,
I've got a couple of newbie-questions.
1. I want to call a PageTemplate from a Python script, and pass in parameters. How can I access those parameters in the PageTemplate?
2. How can I find out the fields which are in the resultset of a ZSQL method, using either Python or PageTemplates?
I do: SELECT * FROM employees. I know that the table employees contains the fields emp_id, first, last, salary so I can code for it. But it would be nices and more generic if I could infer from the resultset itself what fields it has, and to extract them dynamically instead of coded into the PageTemplate. That way I could make a generic PageTemplate that works for any ZSQL method result.
3. How do I install the MySQLdb driver on Win2k? The installer only finds my Python21 installation, and not my Zope installation and it doesn't give me the option to enter a directory manually. I don't have MSVC++ compilers installed, only gcc from cygwin, so I don't think that compiling it myself will work. Any hints from anyone?
With thanks,
--Tim
