[Zope] Newbie Question: date formatting/Context

[Kevin Carlson]

You could retrieve the time from Interbase in a standard Python DateTime
object (should be the default) and then render the appropriate portion using
Python's strftime function:

  now = DateTime() # or however you get it...
  return now.strftime('%I') # will return just the hour

See Python documentation for more information on strftime.

Subject: [Zope] Newbie Question: date formatting/Context



I am new to Zope and OOP, so please bear with my ignorance and stupidity!!

I am attempting to retrieve a Date from an interbase DB (using Kinterbas)
into Zope (v 2.5.1), but not in the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.ss format that it
wants me to. I am having trouble with this, and have installed mxDateTime in
an attempt to resolve the problem.

I have written a small Python script in Zope to confirm that it works, and
it doesn't. I get errors. the script and error are below:

*************************************************************

from mx.DateTime import *
while 1:
  return now().hour

*************************************************************

Error Type: Unauthorized
Error Value: You are not allowed to access DateTime in this context

*************************************************************

Can anyone help with either (or both!) problem(s)?

Kind regards

Ashley
