Re: [Zope] Python, Zope, and PowerPoint slides

* Amos released updated "Zope training material",
  http://www.zope.org/Members/Amos/TrainingSlidesAnnounce
  that he and Michel Pelletier have been working on for
  the past couple weeks.

There are twenty slide presentations which cover such topics
as DTML, application design, and developing Python products.

Note: the PowerPoint slides are built by a Python script
that reads Structured Text and talks to PowerPoint over COM - cool.


How about taking the extra step and using 'PythonPoint' to make a pdf
presentation for non-MS'ers?



IIRC Pavlos Christoforou made a Zope product that creates pdf from stx files
(goes to look it up) Yes. See
http://www.zope.org/Members/gaaros/ZpdfDocument


I was quite exited when I saw this pdf possibility but I can't seem 
to get it to work. I'm running Zope on my Win NT4.0. But I have some 
questions 'bout it:

1. When I d/l the zpdf file it seems that something is missing. Where 
exactly should I put it ?
2. Is it a precompiled python file ?
3. Should'nt it have some kind of extension to it to work in a windoze env ?


Though I agree a packed up version would be nice (I'm a windows user, so
pythonpoint is ok for me) Any chance the python-powerpoint script could be
made public anyway?

Hm, worked for me (on my humble win95 homebox). It's been a time since I
used it, though


1. When I d/l the zpdf file it seems that something is missing. Where
exactly should I put it ?

Unpack it in the zopehome/lib/python/Products

2. Is it a precompiled python file ?

python will compile it at runtime

3. Should'nt it have some kind of extension to it to work in a windoze env
?


apart from python no (but zope won't run if you don't have that ;-). It is a
python only product as far as I can see.
