World PloneDay 2008

World Plone Day, o dia para falar sobre Plone.

A Simples Consultoria se une à comunidade Plone para em 7 de novembro de 2008 divulgar o Plone para o mundo.

É um sistema gerenciador de conteúdo robusto que tem como objetivo proporcionar uma experiência agradável as pessoas que publicam conteúdo.

Escrito em Python, roda sobre o servidor de aplicações Zope, o que lhe proporciona alto nível de segurança da informação e de produtividade de desenvolvimento.

O Plone é focado no usuário final e sua interface administrativa é fortemente integrada ao website final, permitindo uma administração mais intuitiva do conteúdo e, desta forma, melhor edição final do website ou portal.

A música fala do Emacs, mas a letra foi escrita em Vi...

I Tried Emacs (Pit Party '08)

With apologies to Katy Perry. The University of Washington Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Band at the annual CSE pit party, 9/27/08.
This version of the UW CSE Band consists of Alex Colburn, Laura Effinger-Dean, Andrew Guillory, Natalie Linnell, Kristi Morton, and Pradeep Shenoy. Lyrics:vi... Certo, mas que isso tem com Python?? O.o
Emacs e Vi são os melhores editores para script's de Python!!! Há ainda quem discorde disso, mas tudo bem vai... Ninguém é perfeito!!! =D

Python-UNO bridge on OOo3.0.0

IMPORTANT: Workarounds for pyuno problems in OOo3.0.0

There are some problems with pyuno in OOo3.0.0 (in particular with the python executable). Here the known problems and the workarounds for the moment .

1. (windows only) The python scripting framework (scripts within openoffice via Extras/Macro/) does not work, when you have a python 2.3 installed on your windows system (more precisly, when there exists a python23.dll in your windows/system32 directory). You can work around it for now by copying Basis\program\python23.dll to program\. beside the soffice.bin executable. This forces the soffice process to load the correct library beside the office process. (94993)
2. (windows only) When you try to connect to a running office process, you get

    __main__.com.sun.star.connection.NoConnectException: Connector  couldn't connect to socket (WSANOTINITIALISED, WSAStartup() has not been called) 

3. You can workaround this, by placing a

   import socket

   in the top of your script (95028)
4. (windows only) The python program crashes or you get an attribute error

   AttributeError: getCurrentComponent  (or some other attribute)
   

   This is because the types could not be loaded due to changes in the uno bootstrapping mechanism. You can work around it for now by setting the URE_BOOTSTRAP variable (adapt to your installation path, replace every space with a %20, change \ to /).

   set URE_BOOTSTRAP=file:///C:/Program%20Files/OpenOffice.org%203/program/fundamental.ini

   and run python. Alternatively, you can set URE_BOOTSTRAP=fundamental.ini when your current working directory is beside the python executable. (95024)
5. (windows only) Interactive mode in python does not work correctly When you start the python executable without parameters, the interactive session runs somewhat fuzzy (at least on my machine). When you get the prompt >>>> , everything you type will be interpreted as a shell command. When you then just press return, you are prompted with your current working directory, here you can place a python command, so in short, you have to press return 2 times after every python command (95037).
6. ( unix only), you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly before starting the python executable, eg.

   export set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../../openoffice.org/ure/lib:../../openoffice.org/basis3.0/program ./python
