Okay, here is a little more diagnostic information. The 'namespace' that Zope is complaining about is in the following code: found = 0 # flag to indicate that the object was/wasn't found... contents = [] # the return list... # Run through the objects in the current (context) folder to see if there is a match (with given_title)... for obj in context.objectValues('Image'): if found == 0: if given_title == obj.title: url = obj.absolute_url title = obj.title contents.append(namespace(url=url, title=title)[0]) found = 1 # Set flag on success... # If you can't find it in the context, then check the container... for obj in container.objectValues('Image'): if found == 0: if given_title == obj.title: url = obj.absolute_url title = obj.title contents.append(namespace(url=url, title=title)[0]) found = 1 # Set flag on success... # Return indicative values if the desired object was not found... if found == 0: contents.append(namespace(url='', title='')[0]) vars = namespace(contents=contents) return vars ------------- As I said before, the above code works just fine in Zope 2-3-1. However, it fails (gets the NameError) in both versions 2-4-2 and 2-4-3. Is this because Zope went to python 2.x instead of 1.5? Do I have to rewrite my code? Do I have to tell my client to get 2-3-1? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ron complaw@hal-pc.org wrote:

This may be a version problem, or it may not.

I wrote a fairly straightforward Zope application in Zope 2-3-1 on Linux. (That instance of Zope has been working just fine for months and hey, it wasn't broke so I didn't fix it. The Linux box has been up for 132 days and I like the fact that I only have to fuss with Zope, if anything at all.)

I created a simple product and associated folder (with a slew of Folders, DTML Documents, python scripts, and DTML Methods. Then I exported them and shipped both the product and the site off to a client who had downloaded and installed Zope 2-3-4 for Windows.

The client got into the Zope management screen (after a little hand-holding, but he didn't read any documentation, so I can't complain). I talked him through the processes of unzip/untar the product, and loading the particular site.

Now the client can pull up a browser and accurately read index_html of the main folder. However, when he tries to read any of the DTML Documents, Folders, etc. he gets:

Zope Error

Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'namespace' is not defined

Is this problem between different versions of Zope? namespace is pretty fundamental. I don't see how it could have worked fine under 2-3-1 and not under 2-4-3.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ron
