Hi I just got a query from someone testing my Zope application "f2w helpdesk" (on sourceforge). They got an error in a Python Script: Error Type: RuntimeError Error Value: Script (Python) task_originator_phone has errors. with the following traceback: -------------------------------------------- Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 223, in publish_module [snip... the usual stuff ] (Object: edit_open_request) File /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 231, in eval (Object: task_originator_phone(r_originator)) (Info: task_originator_phone) File <string>, line 2, in f File /usr/share/zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 324, in __call__ (Object: task_originator_phone) File /usr/share/zope/lib/python/Shared/DC/Scripts/Bindings.py, line 354, in _bindAndExec (Object: task_originator_phone) File /usr/share/zope/lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/PythonScript.py, line 354, in _exec (Object: task_originator_phone) (Info: ({'script': <PythonScript instance at 88b7548>, 'context': <r instance at 88ce2f0>, 'container': <Folder instance at 8829200>, 'traverse_subpath': []}, ('OPSC',), {}, ())) RuntimeError: (see above) ---------------------------------- They are clearly using Python 2.1, and hence Zope 2.4. I am using Zope 2.3.3 on Debian, and I can't duplicate the error myself. What I am asking is, have there been any incompatible changes between Zope 2.3 and Zope 2.4 in the syntax or handling of Python scripts? The script is as follows, in case it gives any clues. ## Script (Python) "task_originator_phone" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters=r_originator ##title= ## results = context.sel_k_1(k_id=r_originator) contact = results and results[0] # None if no results, first row if there are any visible = "" # The text to appear on the page title = "" # The title text (hover help, on some Browsers) if contact: if contact.k_ext: visible = contact.k_ext + " " + contact.k_location # Prefer ext and location title = contact.k_phone_1 or contact.k_phone_2 # help is a phone number else: visible = contact.k_phone_1 or contact.k_phone_2 # settle for a phone number if visible: return '%s' % (title,visible) else: return "" ---------- I will be grateful for any clues as to what I can do to make my scripts compatible with both versions of Zope, if that is indeed the problem. If the problem is I've done something stupid, please someone let me know about that too :) Peter Harris **************************************************************************** This message and any files transmitted with it are confidential.
