[Zope] Adding an external method

[Norman Khine]

Which version of python are you using?

If you are using python 2.1 then from the command prompt if you debug
line-by-line you get an error from

DateTime/DateTime.py:90: DeprecationWarning: the regex module is deprecated;
please use the re module
import sys, os, math, regex, ts_regex, DateTimeZone
/usr/local/lib/python2.1/regsub.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the regsub module
is deprecated; please use re.sub()
  DeprecationWarning)

perhaps this may be the problem

Subject: [Zope] Adding an external method


Hello,

I am trying to add an external metod (used in a CMF Calendar example) but it
fails.

Now I'm not into these external methods (and I am not sure it's the best
solution) but I just want to see how this example works.

The method file is named monthRange.py and I have placed it in
/usr/local/Zope/Extensions
it contains this code:
from DateTime import DateTime

def monthRange( dt ):
"""
Return a pair of DateTime values representing the
earliest and latest times in the month in which 'dt'
falls.
"""
y, m, d = dt.year(), dt.month(), dt.day()
first = DateTime( y, m, 1 )
last = first - 1 + DateTime._month_len[dt.isLeapYear() ][ m ]
return first.earliestTime(), last.latestTime()

I have filled in these values in the add form in ZMI:
Id: monthRange
Module Name: monthRange
Function Name: monthRange

I get this error when I try to add it:
Error Type: SyntaxError
Error Value: invalid syntax

And this traceback:
Traceback (innermost last):

217, in getObject
    (Info: ('/usr/local/Zope-2.3.2-linux2-x86/Extensions/monthRange.py',
'monthRange'))
SyntaxError: (see above)

Well it looks like it finds the file.
To me it looks like there is a syntax error in the add of the external
method. or is the syntax error in the python code ?

I haven't debugged this kind of scripts before so I hope there is someone
who
can help me :-)
