[Zope] Newbie (again) using PIDDLE with Zope

[Ashley Lloyd]

Thanks very much for your reply, especially the concerns you've raised (I'll 
try to make sure if we end up making this work, I bear that in mind when 
testing)!

>That would be a question for the piddle mailing list (is it still active?).

I remember trying a list before, pretty sure it was at sourceforge, and 
getting no real response, so I was just hoping someone here could help.

As far as I can see, it is - but then I've been known to be wrong once or 
twice (an hour). This is a snip from the pdfgen.py file that I copied into 
lib:

class Canvas:
    """This is a low-level interface to the PDF file format.  The plan is to
    expose the whole pdfgen API through this.  Its drawing functions should 
have a
    one-to-one correspondence with PDF functionality.  Unlike PIDDLE, it 
thinks
    in terms of RGB values, Postscript font names, paths, and a 'current 
graphics
    state'.  Just started development at 5/9/99, not in use yet.

    """
    def __init__(self,filename,pagesize=(595.27,841.89), bottomup = 1):

</snip>

I could obviously copy more if necessary, I don't know if it would help .. ?

It works fine when called outside of Zope, its just when I try it in Zope 
that it doesn't work.

Any inspiration, anyone ... ?
