ChrisWhehe, okay, the web based one?16:38
SteveAdunno16:38
SteveAdidn't find any twisted bugs when we were using it,16:39
ChrisWoh, and I meant to ask you16:39

ChrisWaha16:40
ChrisWthat's what  Iwas going to ask you16:40
SteveAand use zope's events16:40
ChrisWlooked at twisted's components?16:40
SteveAnot really16:40
SteveAcallable interfaces, right?16:41
ChrisWvery close to what I remember Z3's being like16:41
ChrisWlooks like they grew a bit16:41
SteveAwell, they were forked from an earlier Z3 one16:41
ChrisWthey seem to have interfaces and adapters16:41
SteveAyes16:41
ChrisWand some other bit s and pieces16:41
SteveAz3 has / will have some very useful adapter things16:41
SteveAthat I haven't seen elsewhere16:41
SteveAsubscription adapters and partial adapters16:42
SteveAI have a vague plan of doing a Component Programming for Python Programmers talk or tutorial at EP16:42
ChrisWooo, that might be fun16:42
ChrisWhow about at UK python too?16:42
SteveAI won't be there16:43
SteveAI'm somewhat tired of my last several months of travelling -- time to get some actual work done :)16:43
ChrisWhehe16:44

ChrisWoh, sorry...16:47
ChrisWwhere's the language policy advertised? ;-)16:48

ChrisWrighty, back to work for me..17:07
<--ChrisW (~chrisw@81.5.181.26) has left #schooltool17:07
mgedmina schooltool user experienced a strange problem on winxp17:13
mgedmin__file__ was not defined in schooltool-server.py and other runnable scripts17:13
mgedminany ideas?17:14
SteveAdo we need to use __file__ ?17:14
mgedminwell, sys.argv[0] would do as well17:17
mgedminthat top-level script inserts the proper source directory into sys.path17:17
mgedminand the proper source directory is discovered via __file__17:17
mgedminI thought __file__ was supposed to be available in all Python scripts since 2.317:18
mgedminthe user saw this problem with Python 2.3.317:18
SteveAthat sounds like a python bug20:03
SteveAnot really related:20:05
