[Twisted-Python] Strange DOMTemplate error
by Alex Levy Sept. 20, 2002

Sept. 20, 2002

I have been toying around with DOM Templates, practically using the example code off the web page (with a few minor changes), and I found something very strange. I received xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException whenever I placed the string '©' inside my template HTML. This, as it turns out, applied to just about any HTML special character. I tested it with ©   &foo; and a range of others. It also broke (although with a different error) whenever I tried … [View More]

[Twisted-Python] jelly, marmalade, aot, and wacky types
by Andrew Bennetts Sept. 20, 2002

Sept. 20, 2002

Quick question: Even if an object is of an unknown wacky type (say Zope's extension class), shouldn't jelly (and friends) check for callable(getattr(obj, '__getstate__, None)) anyway (i.e. treat it like an InstanceType and see what happens)? It looks like this is what pickle does. -Andrew.

Re: [Twisted-Python] Is X.25 supported?
by Eric C. Newton Sept. 18, 2002

Sept. 18, 2002

Oops ... that should read: "Twisted does _not_ prevent it..." Twisted is great. Eric is an idiot. Some more details for the internet to record for posterity: The X.25 interface under Linux is socket based. You can use your friends listen/connect/accept/send/recv with the underlying X.25 drivers. The X.25 API on Sun and IBM AIX is SysV Streams based, and you interact with the X.25 device with different system calls. As you know, twisted works great for sockets, and it _seems_ like … [View More]it would be simple enough to do. But Python does not quite support the interface necessary to create real X.25 connections. With some simple C extensions you can expose the API. The main problem is that the format of a X.25 address is quite different from a TCP/IP address. Once you get a file descriptor, it can be integrated with the Reactor. My only problems with Twisted were trying to make the X.25 API as full-featured as a TCP/IP connection. With some effort, I'm sure it can be done. I've successfully used X.25 against the Linux loopback device, and on the real hardware under Solaris and AIX. I've done all three with Python. If you want any other help with this, please contact me off list. -Eric ecn(a)metaslash.com On Tue, Sep 17, 2002 at 02:20:42PM -0400, Eric C.

[Twisted-Python] newbie widget question
by dennis＠illusions.com Sept. 17, 2002

Sept. 17, 2002

Hi, I've just started playing with Twisted 0.99.0. Bear with me please. I'd like to use widgets, but I do not understand how to 'hook' a widget into twisted web. The Example uses config.tac to specify main.Gadget() and 'twistd -g Example' to start the server. If I've got a web.tap, how do I use a widget? I see I can add a 'new web test widget' when using coil, but I don't know what this means. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- --- Dennis Sacks dennis(a)illusions.com
