Hi. :) I recently upgraded to 2.4.0 but it doesn't work well with Blark, which I currently need very badly. Unfortunately, I cannot find the old install of 2.3.x anywhere. To my dismay, it also does not seem to be on the zope.org site! :) Please, is there anyone out there whom might know of it's existence at another URL? Pray, do drop me the link sometime today. :) Thank you, Sire Nathaniel Harari :)

Hi Gilles! Yes, your Python Script is _not_ equivalent. :-) Try this (untested): ------------------------------------------ from string import lower request = context.REQUEST machine = lower(request.HTTP_HOST) servermap = { 'www.site1.com': 'site1', 'www.site2.com': 'site2' } if servermap.has_key(machine): request['TraversalRequestNameStack'].append(servermap[machine]) ------------------------------------------ Explanation: (sorry if this looks insultingly simple to you)

machine = _.string.lower(context.REQUEST.HTTP_HOST) better be:

from string import lower machine = lower(context.REQUEST.HTTP_HOST) ------------------------------------------ from python scripts you don't access libraries through the current DTML namespace (check the "Bindinds" tab if you need to use the current DTML namespace), they're already there and available. You just import the library, or - as in this case - one or two functions "from" the library. If you had a line like "import string" you refer to the "lower" function as "string.lower", if you import a function directly, it's accessable direcly through its name (as in the above code). btw, with a little string-splitting (very easy) you could also check for *.site1.com (not only "www")...

context.REQUEST.append(servermap[machine])

mmmh, never tried that. I guess this won't work. My access rule shows something like: ------------------------------------------ container.REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack'].append(servermap[machine]) ------------------------------------------ this will append "site1" (resp. "site2"...) to the stack of object names that will be "climbed" through when an object is accessed (remember: your access rule is a special object that gets called _before_ Zope traverses any further). This results in an object call one level further down in your object hierarchy. (Yes, you could bring the request even further down by adding more object names...) if you use "context.REQUEST" a couple of times, ------------------------------------------ request = context.REQUEST ------------------------------------------ as a first line (uh, second, first you import your (string) function(s)) might be handy, as seen in the "default" Python Script that you see when you add a new Python Script. After this line you can refer to the "context.REQUEST" object with shorter code, e.g. your (currently) first line would become ------------------------------------------ machine = lower(request.HTTP_HOST) ------------------------------------------ and your last line would become ------------------------------------------ request['TraversalRequestNameStack'].append(servermap[machine]) ------------------------------------------ hope this helps, Danny On Wednesday 03 October 2001 03:11, Gilles Lenfant wrote:

Hi,

I wanted to improve the speed of my sites translating the DTML method accessrule into a python script. But when the DTML method works, the equivalent (?) python script doesn't (always show the default Zope page).

Any clue ?

Thanks in advance
