New Outlook Dialogs Problem
by Meyer, Tony Sept. 24, 2003

Sept. 24, 2003

If I haven't got enough training information to enable filtering, the "enable filtering" box isn't greyed out anymore. If I try to check it, it doesn't check, and I get this traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\cvs\spambayes\spambayes\Outlook2000\dialogs\dlgcore.py", line 286, in OnCommand self.ApplyHandlingOptionValueError(handler.OnCommand, wparam, lparam) File "D:\cvs\spambayes\spambayes\Outlook2000\dialogs\dlgcore.py", line 245, in ApplyHandlingOptionValueError self.dialog_def.caption, mb_flags) AttributeError: ProcessorDialog instance has no attribute 'dialog_def' (I'd try and fix this myself, but the new dialog code still has me overwhelmed ;) =Tony Meyer

This is something that was added in Python 2.3, wasn't it - I had forgotten that. =Tony Meyer

It looked like it was between the second and third words after the [] bit, but this: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Bugs-798029 ] Outlook missing HTML inall pst mail has the space missing later. I guess this is happening to all of sf's messages, so they'll presumably fix it at some point. =Tony Meyer

Now this isn't important, but I'm curious :) Recently (I think), the messages to the bug list are missing a space. Specifically, the space after the second word of the (bug) subject. For example: [spambayes-bugs] [ spambayes-Feature Requests-791246 ] IMAP: keepnew messages unread Summary: IMAP: keep new messages unread Is this some weird sourceforge thing, or something we have setup wrong? (Or somehow something I've got wrong? ;) =Tony Meyer

When I call "marshal.dumps(0.1)" from AsyncDialog (or anywhere in the Outlook code) I get "f\x030.0", which fits with what you have. > So the obvious <wink> answers are: (Glad you posted this - I was wading through the progress of marshalling (PyOS_snprintf etc) and getting rapidly lost). > 1. When LC_NUMERIC is "german", MS C's atof() stops at the first > period it sees. This is the case: """ #include <locale.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { float f; setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "german"); f = atof("0.1"); printf("%f\n", f); } """ Gives me with gcc version 3.2 20020927 (prerelease): 0.100000 Gives me with Microsoft C++ Builder (I don't have Visual C++ handy, but I suppose it would be the same): 0,00000 The help file for Builder does say that this is the correct behaviour - it will stop when it finds an unrecognised character - here '.' is unrecognised (because we are in German), so it stops. Does this then mean that this is a Python bug? Or because Python tells us not to change the c locale and we (Outlook) are, it's our fault/problem? Presumably what we'll have to do for a solution is just what Mark is doing now - find the correct place to put a call that (re)sets the c locale to English. =Tony Meyer

I have no huge desire to be doing this particular part, so feel free to rip apart the script that I'll check in shortly (windows/pop3proxy_tray.py). (I actually originally wrote it for the 'overkill' script (which I'm still tinkering with), and I'll keep on working on that version). =Tony Meyer

pop3proxy binaries
by Mark Hammond Aug. 29, 2003

Aug. 29, 2003

I pretty much have py2exe and SpamBayes working together. The new py2exe code I am helping with allows us to create a binary distribution for Windows with a .zip file containing *all* Python code, and and arbitrary number of executables which share this .zip for their Python library. Thus, each new .exe/.dll is <30k, meaning we can have as many as we like :) I have a .dll for Outlook, and a "windows" and a "service" exe for pop3proxy - and single installation .exe that detects if Outlook is installed and does "the right thing" would be almost trivial. I expect to check in my scripts etc soon. However, this does have an impact on pop3proxy, in terms of "out of the box" setup. Off the top of my head: * We should ensure only 1 proxy is running on the machine (ie, prevent starting either the service or the .exe twice) * We should think about where the databases are stored (the "program files" directory where we install is probably not appropriate - but a "per user" database directory makes no sense for a .exe * Consider a "start_pop3proxy" program that "does the right thing" depending on the platform and configuration. Eg, it could start the correct program (service if not running but installed, standard exe otherwise) and fire the browser to the config URL if it detects it is unconfigured etc. * other stuff :) FWIW, we could detect a "binary build" by checking is sys.frozen exists. If it does, we can also assume the win32all extensions are available - eg, we could check for a single instance by using a global, named Mutex, etc. I am willing to help out significantly, but I am unable to "drive" anything, as I don't own it, and don't want to. Does this interest anyone enough to take it on with me? At-your-service <wink> ly, Mark.

skippinet.com.au slightly constipated

My ISP has had to dedicate a server soley to handle the sobig traffic to skippinet.com.au. But I only got a small one <wink>. If you need to reach me and would like to me read it in the same week it is sent, you should use mhammond shift-2 keypoint.com.au. I've redirected most mailing list and sourceforge traffic directly to this address. Mark.
