I don't know anything about sha, but you can call a zsql methode sql_abcdefg from a python script this way: RS=context.sql_abcdefg(var1=v1,var2=v2) for row in RS: for column in row: print column Met vriendelijke groeten, Hans de Wit Stichting Farmaceutische Kengetallen Postbus 30460 2500 GL DEN HAAG Tel. 070-3737448 Fax 070-3737445 Alejandro Fernandez To: zope@zope.org <shomon@softhome cc: .net> Subject: [Zope] sha and newbie db question. Sent by: zope-admin@zope. org 19-06-02 10:58 Hi, I have 2 questions: I'm trying to replicate the following php code in zope: $code = $HTTP_POST_VARS["CODE"]; $codemd5 = md5($code); I believe that in straight python, this would be: hcode = sha.new(code).hexdigest() (because as far as I know, there's no md5 equivalent of "hexdigest"). But when I run this in a python script, which recieves such a value from a dtml method with a form in it, it complains that it's not allowed to run "new". I'm sorry if this is a well known security restriction, and the page of the zope book or of some manual to get around it would be enough for me thanks! Second problem is a lot easier: I've looked at the relational database chapter of the zope book, but have not found exactly how to do a call to a zsql method from within a python script. Is there somewhere where I can get examples of the dtml/python script code behind a database backed website? The code in particular wouldn't be to display something, but for operations such as inserting, deleting, cacheing queries, storing variables, etc. Thanks so much!
