There are a couple of ways to approach this, depending on your needs. I'm assuming that Zope needs to be serving to other users at the same time, in a more typical client-server role. One approach is to run Zope 3 with ZEO, and write a script that connects to the database via ZEO and modifies the database as you need. This bypasses security, and requires that the script have access to the (sensitive) ZEO port of your Zope. Another approach would be to have a view--XML-RPC, maybe. Have the script make a request with authentication and the necessary information to create your object, then have your view do the work. If I'm not guessing your needs correctly, you'll need to specify a bit more. Gary ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

[Zope3-Users] zcml grants for plugin-auth'ed principals?
Hi all, I'm using an ldap auth source for my principals and have been assigning roles & permissions TTW. This all works great, but I'd really like to manage it in ZCML longer-term. The obvious difficulty I'm having is that my ldap users don't exist at the point where the ZCML is being loaded in. Has anyone devised a work-around for this?

Where did you get the python you are using on HP-UX from? Did you build it yourself? I believe you also said you were using python 2.3.. Does Zope 3 require python 2.4? Also, how current is your system on HP-UX quality pack bundles? You said you are running 11.0, which while supported, is a bit long in the tooth.

I've tried making the poll demo as described in widgets.txt to get the
hang of this, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. When I try to
restart zope it give the following error:
ZopeXMLConfigurationError: File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\zope\app\demo
\poll\configure.zcml", line 5.4-6.47
ConfigurationError: ('Unrecognized parameters:', 'permission')
The relevant section of the configure.zcml file reads:
Removing the permission section brings up an error further on in the config:
ZopeXMLConfigurationError: File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\zope\app\demo
\poll\configure.zcml", line 53.4-59.10
ConfigurationError: ('Unrecognized parameters:', 'content_factory')
which refers to a section that reads:
Removing the content_factory line raises an error along the lines of
"must specify either a factory or a class". Changing it to read:
class=".poll.Poll"
allows Zope to start up, but when I click on the "Poll Demo" add menu
item that appears it raises "System Error". From the traceback:
Exception Value
__init__() takes at least 4 arguments (3 given)
(full traceback below)
I'm pretty sure I've copied and pasted all the sections of the demo
from the widgets.txt file into the right files, but I could have done
something else stupid. Or is there something genuinely amiss with the
demo?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
James

Stack size doesn't seem to be the issue. The HP box is set to 31116 Kb. The recommendation on early releases of Mac OS X was 4096 Kb. Good idea though! Does anyone have any ideas on why the unittest would fail? Specifically, the testLargeBody method in test_httpserver.py? it calls a method "loop": def loop(self): self.thread_started.set() while self.run_loop: self.counter = self.counter + 1 #print 'loop', self.counter poll(0.1) which loops forever.

FYI: I just downloaded and installed Zope 3.1 on another Gentoo box (with the same /etc/profile as the one depicted below). That (second) one worked without any issues whatsoever. The major differences between the two boxes is that the first box is using an Athlon64 chip (with Gentoo's amd64 installation), and the second box is an older Pentium III (using Gentoo's x86 installation). This, of course, begs the question of some 64-bit compatibility issue. I noticed that when it builds (using make) that a --skip-build parameter is included. Could the lack of that particular building be a problem?

Hey James,
What you probably want to explore is the "Object" field. This lets you
define a "sub-schema", as it were, and use that in your "main" schema.
An example (untested)... maybe in yourproject/types/interfaces.py:
from zope.interface import Interface
from zope.schema import List, Text, TextLine, Int, Choice
from zope.schema import Object
from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageIDFactory
_ = MessageIDFactory('yourproj')
# sub-schema
class IContactData(Interface):
show = Bool(title = _(u"Show Data?"))
type = TextLine(title = _(u"Data Type"))
value = TextLine(title = _(u"Data Value"))
# main schema
class IUser(Interface)
name_first = TextLine(
title = _(u"First Name")
)
name_last = TextLine(
title = _(u"Last Name")
)
contact_info = List(
title = _(u"Contact Info"),
value_type = Object(
schema=IContactData,
),
)
Then (maybe in user.py, ):
...
class ContactData(object):
implements(IPageSection)
# and whatever else you might want to
# put in here
class User(PortalContent):
implements(IUser)
# and whatever else you might want to
# put in here
...
Then you're going to have to do some extra work with a custom widget (a
good place would be ./browser/userview.py):
from zope.app.form.browser import ObjectWidget
from zope.app.form.browser.editview import EditView
from zope.app.form import CustomWidgetFactory
from yourproject.types import ContactData
from yourproject.types.interfaces import IUser
parts_w = CustomWidgetFactory(ObjectWidget, ContactData)
class ContactDataEditView(EditView):
"""
View for editing a page section.
"""
__used_for__ = IUser
parts_widget = parts_w
In your browser/configure.zcml, your going to need something like this:
I may be forgetting something here... but this should certainly give
you a head start. There's a bunch of very good information on this in
these files:
zope/app/form/browser/widgets.txt
zope/app/form/browser/objectwidget.txt
Hmmm, looking through these again, these are really good examples. Pay
more attention to them than to what I wrote above ;-)
By the way, (and irrespective of the structure of the data) this data
you are adding seems to me a good candidate for annotations. You might
want to explore that...
Happy trails!

[Zope3-Users] New mailinglist for Zope 3 translators
Hello all, [Sorry for the cross-post, please CC replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] only.] two months ago, I started an initiative [1] to translate Zope 3.1 using Ubuntu's Launchpad system [2]. Since then, I've received a lot of emails from numerous volunteers around the world and many of them made some excellent progress [3]. Thanks to everyone who contributed so far. A new mailinglist at [EMAIL PROTECTED] will now help translators and developers like me to coordinate their work. For example, all those translations will have to be integrated back into the Zope 3.1 repository at some point which has to be coordinated somehow. Also, translators themselves will want to coordinate the work among them. The mailinglist will serve as a forum for discussing and coordinating things like that. So, if you're involved into Zope 3 translations OR if you would like to contribute something to Zope 3 by helping to translate it into your language, please subscribe to the new list [4]. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or even better the new list. Best regards Philipp [1] http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-dev/2005-August/015113.html [2] https://launchpad.net [3] https://launchpad.net/products/zope/+series/zope3.1/+pots/zope [4] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-i18n ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

Thinking further about this, it seems to me that the natural data
structure would be dicts within a list. For example, if were doing it
in plain python it might go something like this:
>>> contacts = []
>>> contacts
[]
>>> contact1 = {"show":True, "type":"mobile tel", "value": "07123 456 789"}
>>> contact2 = {"show":False, "type":"email", "value": "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"}
>>> contact1['type']
'mobile tel'
>>> contact2['type']
'email'
>>> contacts.append(contact1)
>>> contacts.append(contact2)
>>> contacts
[{'type': 'mobile tel', 'value': '07123 456 789', 'show': True}, {'type': 'email
', 'value': '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'show': False}]
>>> len(contacts)
2
>>>
I've tried to implement this zopeishly, and the stumbling block I've
hit seems to be specifying the key and value_type pairs in the dict.
So, for example:
>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> from zope.schema import List, Dict, Bool, TextLine
>>> class IUser(Interface):
... contacts = List(
... title=u"Contact Details",
... value_type=Dict(
... title=u"dictionary",
... value_type=Bool(title=u"show")
... value_type=TextLine(title=u"value")
... value_type=TextLine(title=u"type")
... )
... )
This barfs when it hits the second value_type in the dict. Look at the
zope.schema sources it seems I can only specify one value_type and one
key_type. What I want to do is specify three pairs of keys and
value_types - note, specifying the actual keys, not just their types.
Is this possible? Or am I barking up the wrong tree!?
Any hints gratefully received.
Thanks,
James
