Re: [PyWX] Trying to use Quixote adapter

[Titus B. <ti...@ca...>]

-> I'm trying to use your Quixote adapter.  I've put off asking for
-> help, trying to push myself to learn enough about Quixote's
-> execution model so that I could figure this out for myself.  Well,
-> I think I do understand more, but still could not figure this setup
-> out for myself.  So a few questions:
-> 
-> I put the adapter in:
-> 
->     aolserver/servers/server1/modules/python/handleQuixote.py
-> 
-> Right?

It needs to be in PYTHONPATH, or PythonPath, or some place where it can
be imported.

-> Now, what should I do with each of:
-> 
->     import handleQuixote
->     handler = handleQuixote.Handler(base_url, app)
-> 
-> Do I put it into a Quixote driver script?  Something like the
-> following in aolserver/servers/server1/pages/qtest1.cgi?
-> 
->     #!/usr/bin/env python
-> 
->     from quixote import enable_ptl, Publisher
->     import handleQuixote
-> 
->     enable_ptl()
->     app = Publisher('qtest1')
->     app.read_config("qtest1.conf")
->     app.setup_logs()
->     handler = handleQuixote.Handler('qtest1', app)
-> 
-> Is that right?

This also needs to go into an importable file, NOT a CGI script.

-> If so, where do I put:
-> 
->     handler.handle(conn)
-> 
-> And is conn what I'd get from calling:
-> 
->     conn = Ns.GetConn()

handler.handle should be called directly from PyWX; the configuration line
looks like this:

ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/module/pywx/pool/thread"

ns_param   Map  "*    /canal/*   handler.handle"

(for mapping '/canal' into Quixote).

-> Perhaps you could send me your latest Quixote PyWX adapter.  I
-> notice that the version I have calls:
-> 
->     ns_setup.create_cgi_environ(conn, os.environ)
-> 
-> This was missing from the version of modules/python/ns_setup.py. I
-> I down-loaded the CVS version of PyWX, and found it in that version
-> of ns_setup.py.  Is that what I should be using?
-> 
-> In case it matters, I'm using:
-> 
->     Quixote-0.5.1
->     aolserver-3.5.1-src
->     PyWX from CVS
->     Libranet Debian GNU/Linux - Linux 2.4.19
-> 
-> Thanks in advance for help.

I'll check in the version I'm using with my latest Cartwheel stuff once
I verify that it actually works with the latest CVS version of Quixote;
it requires Quixote out of CVS, because I had to <sigh> modify Quixote
to support multiple threads of execution.

Attached are two files: my development environment config for Cartwheel,
and the quixote handler I'm using in it.

Thanks for slogging through all of this -- you're shaming me publicly
enough that I may do something about it ;).

cheers,
