Pyperl installation with ActivePython - still having problems
Hello, I tried other way with ActivePython, I looks simpler but here is my history: Ive installed ActivePython 2.2.3 in my Zope server to prove the compatibility between them and to prove the possibility of calling AcrivePerls functions from Zope. I had to install 2.2.3 because Python Package Manager is not included in version 2.3.2. So I have on question: Is there any other module like pyppm in 2.3.2 which could be used to install a module in ActivePython 2.3.2? Ive been looking for pyperl module, but I couldnt find it in the PyPI Url. Ive read Pyperl is the module which can give me the possibility of calling Perl from Python. I dont know if there is any other one. On the other hand, I tried to use pyppm from my 2.2.3 installation, Im behind a firewall so I configured HTTP_proxy, HTTP_proxy_user and HTTP_proxy_pass environment variables but Im still having problems. I get the following error when I type the command pyppm install pyperl: **************************************************************** PPM>install pyperl Install package pyperl? (Y/n): y Installing package 'pyperl'... Connecting to SOAP server ActiveState Package Repository... ERROR: (7, 'getaddrinfo failed') ****************************************************************
From the browser I can connect the SOAP server and I can download the pyppmserver.pl but this is empty. I dont know what else I can do so I will be very thanked if someone can give me a piece of advice. Thanks in advance. Gabriela.

Hi Gabriela, could it be you are working on a Windows machine? I know you have customer asking for this, but please be assured, ZopePerl is dead. The project was started some years ago and nobody ever got it really running. Everybody who has been involved in the development has long left the project. The code is very old and most probably not working in newer Python / Zope versions. If you can, let me know what you / your customer are trying to do with Perl in Zope. I have some experience to make them work together. Maybe I can help. As pointed out earlier, ZCGI could be one solution.

Ulrich's other warnings above are valid, but pyperl does work on recent Zope versions. At the least, it runs well enough to support a fairly complicated perl application (that, for example, uses the perl ParallelUserAgent module) in Zope 2.6.1 (Python 2.1.3, on Linux 2.4.22, with Perl 5.6.1 built into pyperl). But I would not recommend pyperl, both for the reasons Ulrich gave and because pyperl is a pain to build, use, and maintain. The pyperl developers did a nice job, but the Python/Perl interface is inherently tricky. We hope to port the perl code in the application I mentioned above to become pure python code. -- Fred Yankowski fred@ontosys.com tel: +1.630.879.1312 OntoSys, Inc PGP keyID: 7B449345 fax: +1.630.879.1370 www.ontosys.com 38W242 Deerpath Rd, Batavia, IL 60510-9461, USA
