DateTime: ISO date range limited
by Jens Quade 29 Oct '01

29 Oct '01

Hi, I'd expect the following shouldn't raise an exception: [current Zope CVS] >>> x=DateTime(1000,1,1) >>> y=DateTime(x.HTML4()) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/home/jens/work/NGServer/dcCVS/Zope/lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.py", line 716, in __init__ yr,mo,dy,hr,mn,sc,tz=self._parse_iso8601(arg) File "/home/jens/work/NGServer/dcCVS/Zope/lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.py", line 1624, in _parse_iso8601 return self.__parse_iso8601(s) File "/home/jens/work/NGServer/dcCVS/Zope/lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.py", line 1661, in __parse_iso8601 ts = mktime((year,month,day,hour,minute,seconds,0,0,0)) ValueError: year out of range >>> The variable 'ts' calculated using 'mktime' is *not* used in the result of '__parse_iso8601', so I wonder why the call exists. jens

gvibDA problems
by Nuno Maltez 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Hi, Anyone here using Zope and interbase to access an ISO8859_1 database? I'm using RedHat 7.1, Zope 2.3.3 and InterBaseCS_LI-V6.0.1.tar OpenSource (that's the binary release), python 1.5.2 from the RedHar RPMS and gvibDA-0-9-6. The database I'm trying to access was created, on another machine, with the ISO8859_1 charcter set and it works fine there. If I add the option _default_dpb = { isc_dpb_lc_ctype : 'ISO8859_1' } to the adapter, whenever I try to connect I get the following error: >>> z=gvib.connect('/usr/local/var/som_db.gdb','sysdba','masterkey') Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "gvib.py", line 130, in connect ib_connect = gvibBase.IBConnect(dsn, user, password, tpb, dpb) gvibExceptions.InternalError: - bad parameters on attach or create database -- CHARACTER SET ISO8859_1 is not defined If I do not add this option, I can connect but any query using accented charcters get the error: >>> z.execute("select * from table where field LIKE '%á%'") >>> z.fetchone() Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "gvibCursor.py", line 265, in fetchone gvibBase.IBSetException(cursor.status) gvibExceptions.DataError: - arithmetic exception, numeric overflow, or string truncation -- Cannot transliterate character between character sets >>> I get this same error if I try this query on isql. Does anyone know how to get isql to work with the ISO8859_1 charset as well? Do I need to recompile interbase or something? Thanks in advnce, Nuno

Re: [Zope-dev] login prompt after letting user change his password.

Or use a session cookie for the user/pw - when the user changes their password, change it in the current session, as well. Basic Auth is not going to allow you to do this at all[1] Anthony [1] ok, there's a possibility that you could do browser specific JS to hack the stored auth credentials, but it's pretty unlikely... >>> Steve Alexander wrote > Chris Withers wrote: > > > Clark OBrien wrote: > > > >>It is really confusing for the login to pop up at this point- > >>particularly because > >>it looks like it is asking for permissions to change the password ( > >>needs OLD password) > >> > > > > You're asking for Web browser functionaility to be changed, go bug W3C, > > Microsoft, Netscape and any other browser vendor you want to ;-) > > > You could program something really fancy into the UserFolder that > continued to allow the old password until the new password has been > used, or one day has passed. > > -- > Steve Alexander > Software Engineer > Cat-Box limited > > > > _______________________________________________ > Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev(a)zope.org > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev > ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** > (Related lists - > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ) > -- Anthony Baxter <anthony(a)interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

WebDAVLocks lost in "Control_Panel" (was:: [ZPT] how to unlock a webdav locked element ????)

But when I checked after receiving > your reply, I did not find it either. Maybe wishful thinking.... I rechecked (do not like to be wrong...): There should be a "DavLocks" entry in the "Control_Panel" between "Versions" and "Products". I am now sure, I have seen it. It is still in the code "App.ApplicationManager.ApplicationManager._objects" but "objectItems" now longer finds it and therefore, it is no longer shown in the control panel. I do not (yet) understand why.... You can use it anyway: http://<your zope>/Control_Panel/DavLocks/manage I will report, when I found out why it is no longer shown. Dieter

RE: [Zope] disc files inner methods
by Clark OBrien 27 Oct '01

27 Oct '01

If I am in the Zope manage interface. I select Add then scroll down to Script(Python) this is what I was calling an inner method. Here is a reply I got from a Python IDE engineering team as to why I am not able to debug this code with their IDE: Regards Clark " Support for non-disk fragments like Zope internal methods is planned but not yet there. When added, we'll also add access to the code via ftp or webdav. The bigger problem is actually correct identification of the code fragments and mapping of run locations to the appropriate URL for the source code. I'm not sure off-hand whether Zope does anything when executing the code to identify where the code came from (like setting __file__ or munging code objects' co_filename). If not, we'ld have to add that." + " One other note on this: At one point it sounded like the Zope folks wanted to move more to disk files again and they seemed to indicate (cryptically) that there were things in the works to make this problem of non-disk files irrelevant. I haven't had time to keep up to date on this, but it might be worth checking if there's some config option on Zope that would solve this issue. Certainly, moving to external methods and products would also work, but if you've got an existing code base that is potentially a lot of work.

RE: [Zope-dev] login prompt after letting user change his passwor d.
by Clark OBrien 27 Oct '01

27 Oct '01

When you say "the client is still sending the username/password". I don't use cookies but, because I only use relative urls, Zope seems to maintain the same security "context" thoughout the "session" (a relative url would be href = "dir1\dir2"). I am looking for some way to refresh this security "context" to use the new password. It is really confusing for the login to pop up at this point- particularly because it looks like it is asking for permissions to change the password ( needs OLD password) Clark -----Original Message----- From: Behrens Matt - Grand Rapids [mailto:Matt.Behrens@Kohler.Com] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 10:09 AM To: Clark OBrien Cc: 'zope-dev(a)zope.org' Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] login prompt after letting user change his password.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Basic authentication works by sending the username and password with each request. You've changed the password on the server, but the client is still sending the old password, which doesn't authenticate them any longer. The user'd have to do it sometime, why not right after their password is changed? BTW, the proper forum for this type of question is the main Zope mailing list, <zope(a)zope.org>. -- Matt Behrens <matt.behrens(a)kohler.com> System Analyst, Baker Furniture

Hi guys, I've got an issue here, the following traceback can be seen after several users modify and view the same object in a short (2-3) minute period. I've tried recataloging the objects but that doesn't help either; this error is seen every time.. Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource.

Extending Zope with Eiffel
by Eric Roby 26 Oct '01

26 Oct '01

Ok ... don't laugh (too hard) yet. I know this sounds of blasphemy but let me explain. I spent many years as a meteorologist in the Navy. One tool that would have been invaluable to me (to provide better predictions and warning capabilities) is an expert system. I am sure NOAA probably has one but the Navy doesn't. And they are the ones that would benefit from such a system the most because their forecasting responsibilities are global in nature where NOAA has a much smaller yard to watch over. I have pondered how to build such a system for over 10 years. Things began to fall into place this year when I stumbled upon Zope and when the Navy decided to get serious about Web Services. I like Python ... but I don't think (as a scripting language) it is up to the challenge of an expert system. A language that I feel is up to the challenge is Eiffel (especially in conjunction with ISE EiffelStudio .. an awesome modeling and development environment). So a question for the Zope guru's out there. Since Python is such an adept "glue language" and Eiffel systems are distributed as C-packages, from a technical perspective, would it be absurd to develop the system in Eiffel and integrate it into Zope as a product (or better yet a Web Service in the future). Am I way off base here ? Or am I wrong about my assessment of Python's ability to build an expert system ? Thanks (in advance) for any insight...

[Bug+Patch] Microseconds in DateTime
by Nicola Larosa 25 Oct '01

25 Oct '01

[Sent to main list, ignored. Retrying here...] The __str__ function in DateTime.DateTime cuts off two precision digits from the time returned by time.time(), falling off to tenths of milliseconds instead of keeping the microseconds. If it feels unrighteous to put the hard work of gettimeofday() to waste, apply the patch below to lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.py, and get back that microsecond precision. Yes, on some hardware/software platforms those microseconds are significant, and yes, they can be useful in many situations. Here is the patch. --- DateTime.py Thu Jul 05 17:55:29 2001 +++ DateTime.py.NEW Mon Oct 22 16:00:36 2001 @@ -1558,11 +1558,11 @@ y,m,d =self._year,self._month,self._day h,mn,s,t=self._hour,self._minute,self._second,self._tz if(h+mn+s): - if (s-int(s))> 0.0001: + if (s-int(s)) >= 0.000001: try: # For the seconds, print two digits # before the decimal point. - subsec = split('%g' % s, '.')[1] + subsec = split('%f' % s, '.')[1] return '%4.4d/%2.2d/%2.2d %2.2d:%2.2d:%2.2d.%s %s' % ( y,m,d,h,mn,s,subsec,t) except: -- Nicola Larosa - nico(a)tekNico.net

Hi all I have written some code to alow a user to change his password (below) The problem is that after executing this code the login dialog pops up. The login requires the user to enter his NEW password. container.REQUEST.set('roles',request.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()) container.REQUEST.set('domains',request.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getDomains()) container.REQUEST.set('name',request.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()) container.REQUEST.set('password',request['new_password']) container.REQUEST.set('confirm',request['new_password_confirm']) context.acl_users.manage_users('Change',container.REQUEST) context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect("changepwd?status=ok")
