I'v got the same problem (leading blank line) with Zope 2.7.0 on W2k3 (using included python) rendering html. And *also* an extra blank line before/after each '<img tal:replace structure (location image)'>. I've registered this in the Zope Collector (1254:pending) Live example at http://test.ktu.nl/timg Nico de Groot --- In zope@yahoogroups.com, Joseph Kocherhans <jkocherhans@m...> wrote:

It doesn't appear to be dependent on my zpt if that's what you're getting at.

Interesting...

know :) Every PageTemplate I access has a leading blank line. I probably should have posted this to begin with, so here are the platform details:

How are you editing your page templates? Is it the same on BSD and XP?

That's part of what baffles me... I've been checking the rendered standard_template.pt as a reference since I haven't edited it.

Python 2.3.3 (The binary installer from python.org, not the one that gets installed with the Zope windows installer.)

Huh? Why aren't you using the one that comes with Zope? What did you do to change this? Are there any other parts of the 2.7.0 installation that you've tinkered with on WinXP?!

I just changed the runzope.bat script to point to a different python.exe. I know it's probably not a good idea, but this is just a dev machine and I got sick of copying site-packages from my system python to zope's python. I haven't tinkered with anything else. I wondered if that was causing the problem, but my stock 2.6.4 install is doing the same thing. I haven't changed it at all.

I think I've seen the same issue with Zope 2.5.x on Win2k before too. I wasn't trying to process PageTemplates as xml though, so it was just curious, not a fatal error. This was like 2 years ago though, so it's just a vague memory.

Could anyone verify this behavior on Windows? I've just been viewing the source of standard_template.pt to check things out for now.

Viewing the rendered source or the actual source? ;-)

The rendered source has the initial blank line... the actual source appears as expected over ftp and through the zmi.

I'm going to just work around the issue for now, but I have to get a production 2.7 install going soon on Win2k server. I'll check and see if it behaves the same way before I change anything and report back. I'll be using zope's python in production too ;)
