Free zope software for linux

Zope is an open source web application server primarily written in the Python programming language. Zope features a transactional object database which can store not only content and custom data, but also dynamic HTML templates, scripts, a search engine, and relational database (RDBMS) connections and code.

It features a strong through-the-web development model, allowing you to update your web site from anywhere in the world. To allow for this, Zope also features a tightly integrated security model. Built around the concept of "safe delegation of control", Zopes security architecture also allows you to turn control over parts of a web site to other organizations or individuals.

The transactional model applies not only to Zopes object database, but to many relational database connectors as well, allowing for strong data integrity. This transaction model happens automatically, ensuring that all data is successfully stored in connected data sources by the time a response is returned to a web browser or other client.

There are numerous products (plug-in Zope components) available for download to extend the basic set of site building tools. These products include new content objects; relational database and other external data source connectors; advanced content management tools; and full applications for e-commerce, content and document management, or bug and issue tracking.

Zope includes its own HTTP, FTP, WebDAV, and XML-RPC serving capabilities, but can also be used with the Apache or other web servers.

Zope can help you create dynamic web applications such as portal and intranet sites quickly.
Zope comes with everything you need including support for membership, search, and news.

Zope Weather applet allows people to display weather information for a particular location in Zope, by automatically retrieving data from the NOAAs Metar servers from time to time.
Enhancements:
- getStationHeight is now called getStationAltitude.
- Better installation instructions.
- When extracting the tarball, the directorys name doesnt contain a version number anymore.
- No GIF image anymore.

BoboMail is a so called webmail application, which provides mail access through a web interface.
It is distributed under the GNU GPL. See COPYING in the package or go to http://www.gnu.org for details.
The first version of BoboMail was used for about a year and a half in the intranet of the Computer Club Ostfriesland (one of Germanys largest computer clubs, see http://www.cco-ev.de if you understand German). I wrote my own webmailer, because at that time only some Perl scripts were available, which were not easy to customize (e.g. German interface).
The name of BoboMail comes from former name of ZPublisher, a cgi framework used by the developer.
I hope you will find BoboMail usefull. Please send complaints (e.g. spelling mistakes), criticism, security advices, suggestions, praises and everything else to ich@henning-schroeder.de or visit me (Henning) on my personal webpage at http://www.henning-schroeder.de/en Important acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by Digital Creations for use in the Z Object Publishing Environment (htt://www.zope.org).
The BoboMail distribution contains Zopes ZPublisher and ZTemplates. These compoments underly the Zope Public License (ZPL). They are packages with BoboMail for easier installation. BoboMail is hosted at Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net). If you are interested in BoboMail development please visit the its webpage at http://bobomail.sourceforge.net Besides I want to make BoboMail even more modular so that my stuff can be used for a mailinglist archiver or a web-forum. Attention: I really would like to know where you will use BoboMail. Please tell me your success stories

rotatezlogs allows you to let Zope rotate your log files with rotatezlogs.
This product provides two additional logger handlers to the standard ones (see the doc in zope.conf) that rotate the log files.
It is not always possible to rotate Zope logs using system wide services. This utility enables to rotate automatically Zope logs (with or without zipping) using the features of the "logging" standard module.
Dont look for new objects in the ZMI factory. All is configured in zope.conf.
Note that the log rotation rules is based on the actual size of a log file, and not on time periods (cron like).
Enhancements:
- Unified handlers (simpler to document and configure)
- Added gzip and bzip2 compression modes.

psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language. Its main advantages are that it supports the full Python DBAPI 2.0 and it is thread safe at level 2.

psycopg was designed for heavily multi-threaded applications that create and destroy lots of cursors and make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or UPDATEs.

The psycopg distribution includes ZPsycopgDA, a Zope Database Adapter. This page is about psycopg 2, an almost complete rewrite of the psycopg 1.1.x branch.

Psycopg 2 features complete libpq v3 protocol COPY TO/COPY FROM and full object adaptation for all basic Python 2.3 types: strings (including unicode), ints, longs, floats, buffers (binary objects), booleans, mx.DateTime and builtin datetime types.

It also supports unicode queries and Python lists mapped to PostgreSQL arrays.
