Re: [Zope3-Users] Re: Can I use IPython in debugzope stuff ?
Never knew about IPython and really like what I see. Thanks for the hint. I
got the debugging to work for Zope3 with the following simple change to the
tutorial.
IPython.Shell.IPShell(user_ns=locals()).mainloop(sys_exit=1)
to
IPython.Shell.IPShell(user_ns={'root': root, 'app': app}).mainloop(sys_exit=1)

[Zope3-Users] WingIDE and debugging Zope3.3
I've tried to get WingIDE to work for debugging Zope3 but have only had limited success. I've followed the instructions at wingware.com where it tells you to add the wingdbstub. I added 'import wingdbstub' in $ZOPEINSTANCE/bin/runzope and it will break on errors but will not break on breakpoints. Other instructions tells you to make sure there is only _one_ thread, and I finally found a setting in zope.app.twisted.schema.xml where I changed it to key name=threads datatype=integer default=1 == Changed to 1 description The number of threads which should be used to serve requests. The threads are placed in a pool and are used to serve requests received from the servers configured using lt;servergt; sections. This does not constrain the total number of threads used by the application server; additional threads may be used for internal purposes. /description /key Still no success. Has anyone had any success with debugging with WingIDE? Sincerely, Mats ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users

Try to use a formlib form with a correct setup.
Or check this part:
streetAddress_widget = CustomWidgetFactory(ObjectWidget,
ABookEntry)
The error above tells you that you try to access the
street attribute on the ABookEntry instance. But your
interfaces describes that the IStreetAddress implementation which is
stored under the streetAddress provides this attribute.
So I guess there is a problem with the custom widget factory setup.

I think the answer to that question is both, but X['Y'] seem to have
precedents over X.Y.
class MyContainer(OOBTree):
title=u''
class MyContent(Persistent):
title=u''
Adding MyContent in MyContainer you can traverse MyContainer/MyContent/title
or you can traverse MyContainer/title equally well. If I name MyContainer
'title' i get MyContent when I try MyContainer/title.

My specific question is how evaluation of the path expression X/Z

X.__getitem__('Y')# X['Y']
whereas I'm trying to get:
X.__getattr__('Y')# X.Y
Under Zope 2, as I recall, it would try several algorithms;
attribute, mapping, sequence. And I'm wondering if that mechanism
was simplified for Zope 3, and in what way.

It's all about auto-assigning names to object being added to containers. After much tinkering, it does seem to me that this directive browser:addform ... ... set_before_add=id is not working at all. I throughly checked my NameChooser derived class, and verified it works if I make it return some static name. But if I set my NameChooser to use the new object's id attribute (as per example) and try to Add the object, I'm not asked for the id and immediately get the error An empty name was provided. Names cannot be empty. I just tried to have Zope auto assign the name of an object taking the TextLine field 'title' as name. It worked just fine. Remember NameChooser has to be implemented on the container, not the object. The set_before_add should be added to the addform of the object itself. I wrote a small howto on NameChooser at http://counterfate.servebeer.com Replace the part in the chooseName function with: if not name: name = object.id return name Sorry, but it does not solve. I checked your code, and indeed I implemented the same way. Indeed, my code works if I make it generate arbitrary names. It just does not work if I try to name a new object after one of its attributes because: - the attribute value is not set at the time the object is created - I cannot have the add menu ask for it before actually adding (this is what set_before_add should be meant for, I suppose) Just for info, I'm using Zope 3.1. I'm open to any other suggestion as to how have my contained objects (books) be added with thei ISBN code as name in their container. thanks Guido Guido, Yes, I get the same when using 'id' as field name. If I specify a value of id in my implementation, Class SimpleObject(Persistent): implements(ISimpleObject) id = u'NewID' ... it adds the object directly without giving me the addform. Not sure why it does this. Sounds like this is a case for the gurus. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. gnosis ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
