01/25/2008Professional Plone Development -- a reviewRecently I volunteered to set up a website for a small student
association at my university. Nothing fancy: corporate design,
community-managed content, private member area for managing the
association's internal affairs, etc. "Sure thing," I thought, "I'll
just use Plone. It's something I know." But it turned out I didn't
really. Anymore.
You see, I rarely do ...

11/09/2007From the PEP8 department...Since a lot of people trip over this, let me repeat an important and useful
passage from PEP8,
the Python styleguide:
- Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with
'is' or 'is not', never the equality operators.
Also, beware of writing "if x" when you really mean "if x is not None"
-- e.g. when testing whether a variable or argument that defaults to
...

11/08/2007It's not a bug...... but at least the engine is where God intended it to be: aft.
Yup, that's her, a 1991 VW Transporter double-cab pickup. Not a beauty and
not really fast (the 1.7L diesel develops a staggering 57 bhp), but she's in
good shape and has loads of space as you can imagine. I'm already
looking forward to some skiing trips.
She's also quite economical since she's taxed ...
10/08/2007Can't hardly wait: PloneConf 2007With all the Zope 3 work I'm getting these days, I can't really contribute
much to Plone or do customer work with it
anymore. But I still love attending their get-togethers. Doesn't matter
whether it's the Snow Sprint high up in the Alps or a conference in Vienna,
Seattle or Naples - you always know you're in for endless loads of
fun.
This year's conference starts this ...

09/25/2007Little bit of history repeating...The talk
schedule for this year's Plone Conference is out. The amount and variety
of talks are stunning. Sadly and funnily at the same time, I'm up against
the exact same as last year: Introduction to KSS.
09/16/2007Announcing zopeproject 0.4zopeproject makes it easy to get started with a web application based
on Zope eggs, zc.buildout and WSGI/Paste. If you're not familiar
with this world yet, zopeproject is your easy entry to it. If you are,
zopeproject will save you lots of typing up the boilerplate.
Why eggs?
Because they are a great way to distribute Python software and declare
its dependencies. Zope 3.4 is completely ...

08/30/2007The Online Search WarrantAnd now for something completely different... (in other words,
unreleated to Python or Zope)
When it comes to national security in Germany, there's currently one
topic dominating the press: online search warrants. Or rather the lack
thereof. You see, German politicians and authorities involved in
national security have demanded for many months now that online
searches of computers on ...

08/21/2007zc.buildout: new feature and speed upJim Fulton released zc.buildout
1.0.0b30 last night. This release is worth mentioning for two
reasons:
buildout can now be told to prefer final versions over alpha/beta/dev
releases. In normal mode, buildout will simply try to get the newest
version of a package that matches the package requirements (just like
easy_install). This means, however, that ...

07/30/2007pdb'ing to eggs installed with zc.buildoutIf you use zc.buildout to
install eggs, it sometimes happens that you can't pdb into their code.
The reason for this is that the egg is built in a temporary directory and
then moved to its destination. During the build, setuptools creates .pyc
files which contain an absolute path reference to the original .py file.
Since it's done a temp directory, this reference will be ...
07/26/2007Cheap binary Windows eggsThanks to Hanno Schlichting's howto, I've figured out how to create
Windows eggs of those packages that have C extensions. This approach
doesn't need Microsoft Visual Studio, nor does it require you to wade
through a bunch of free Microsoft downloads that don't really work
in the end anyway.
Here's what I did:
Installed the standard Python 2.4 distribution from the ...
