by Marcin Jurczuk Sept. 7, 2004

Sept. 7, 2004

Hello group. Could someone descripe how to delete many row at one time from MySQL database using SkunkWeb PyDO pacgage ?? Documentation is very short about that ... Assume that Base is class define like in PyDO doc, so Base.new(...) adds new row.. Documetation show ony delete() without any arguments. SQL query is like "DELETE FROM SESSIONS WHERE acc_time < '398984353'" Thanks for read this :-) -- Marcin Jurczuk, NIC-HDL: MJ1679-RIPE

QOTW: "Python is clearly on a huge evolutionary surge and conservative views on the matter are definitely not winning out right now. And the usual argument (submit a patch!) doesn't really work when those who want to avoid many changes try it... I've been *not* submitting a patch on lots of changes to Python, but somehow it's never been accepted. ;-)" Peter Hansen "I've never seen a more complicated, verbose pile of hogwash than the 'deliverd by mailman' mailing list program."

Zope 2.7.2 win32 - Sessions not working
by Kyle Yancey Sept. 5, 2004

Sept. 5, 2004

I've scratched my chin over this for the longest time. I think I'm going to need some help. I'm creating a web app with zope. It has a typical user login based on email and password. A ZSql method is called to look up the customers unique id. That id is then assigned to their session cookie so I can allow to them to go to an account page where they can change their preferences. Unfortunately, zope sessions just don't seem to be working at all. I know something is being assigned, because Transient Object Container session_data says that it contains 8 items even though I only tried to set one. Any help would be appreciated. request = container.REQUEST response = request.RESPONSE session = request.SESSION html_page = """<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html><head><title></title> <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=/Account"></HEAD> <BODY></BODY></HTML>""" if session.has_key('id'): return html_page if request.REQUEST_METHOD == 'POST': rec = context.Sql.get_user_id(email = email, password = password) if rec: cust_id = rec.dictionaries()[0]['cust_id'] session.set('id', cust_id) return html_page

True : False Read PEP 308, and note that this was probably the largest flamewar in Python history (well, before the still-ongoing decorators discussion...). But to answer your question: no.

Help req: py2exe's compiled executables only working with XP
by mattjensen＠timetospare.net Sept. 5, 2004

Sept. 5, 2004

I am a young programmer with his big break on the line. For some reason, small apps that I've written and compiled on an XP machine won't work on anything but XP machines. I can't find any clue as to what's going on. Is the problem py2exe or something in my own scripts? I am at the end of my rope and I'm hoping someone out there can give me a pointer of two. Respectfully with full recognition that a lot of you are smarter than me, Matt K Jensen

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to convince anyone else While it's also a good idea in Java, it's not as compelling as in C++, because Java mostly lacks the complications due to C++'s templates and freestanding ("not inside a class") names (haven't looked at Java generics so I don't know if they got those complications back in;-).
