00:15:57 apparently, the original name of PG was ingres when it was started at berkeley 00:16:35 then, when some hackers took it out of the academic setting they named it postgres to indicate that it was going into a new lifecycle - post ingres 00:16:48 ahhh - i knew the origins were berkeley, but i thought it was always called postgres, even there 00:16:58 then they named it postgres95 to piggy back on big bill's millions of advertising bucks i guess 00:17:15 then changed the name again to postgresql when they implemented the sql language in it 00:17:23 haha - so when does postgresXP come out? 00:17:37 i forget why it was origingally called ingres, though. you can find out at postgresql.org 00:18:07 are you assigning me homework? 00:18:09 postgresXP comes out when all the skaters and snowboard thrashers starting hacking and take the DB to EXTREME levels 00:18:11 do the dew! 00:18:51 have you heard of warren miller?

(we can't go zope) 19:24:02 yeah, the Plex... http://plexdev.org 19:27:46 talli: re pywx, it has been very stable, only 1 bug worth mentioning a couple of caveats as well. 19:29:25 ok 19:29:31 what about it's continued dev? 19:29:50 i have a client who is somewhat skeptical about OACS and we want to offer AOLserver/python 19:29:54 talli: is it mature, i would say yes. i'm frankly amazed by how well it works, i haven't found any mem leaks, or the like in my stress testing. as i've said before i've successfully embeded zope in aolserver using it. last night i hooked up soap via zsi (pywebsvcs.sf.net) to aolserver with it. its been very cool. 19:29:58 will pywx be continued to extended? 19:30:11 ok, cool. good to know 19:30:23 seems like the best of all worlds if we could use python in aolserver 19:30:46 anyway, brb. latte time. 19:33:00 talli: i asked that question on the mailing list... re continued dev... i would guess yes, but there aren't many people using it. the biggest problem is only one of the original developer is still using it, although he intends on continuing his usage, most of the wrapping is done via swig so it automates much of the nitty gritty of integration with the aolserver api. 19:33:47 if i can get the site i'm working on to be a community institution than i hope i can interest others in working with and developing it.... 19:33:53 so the caveats. 19:35:15 the biggest problem is documentation, you have to be able to look at the both the aolserver c api reference and consult the swig bindings. most of pywx is a straight wrapping of the c api of aolserver 19:36:16 argh! I missed all the cool stuff.... 19:36:19 * davb reads the backlog 19:38:22 the other caveats really deal with acs integration which is something i've been working on. 19:39:04 ok. 19:39:14 pywx can run in MIMT (multiple intepreter multi thread mode) and SIMT (single interpreter), most python code runs as single intepreter mode (with multiple threads) 19:39:29 I was under the impression that people are using PyWX to get work done. 19:40:32 when you're calling python from tcl it has to be called with MIMT mode, the problem with mimt mode is that it is slow, and takes away from the ability to do things like caching and information sharing within the python layer. 19:41:11 i've got MIMT mode integrated with the template machinery of the acs... but i'm more interested in running SIMT mode for packages and applications 19:41:35 which is something i still have to work on. 19:42:23 using mimt i was able to get a templated listing of my mailbox via imap... 19:43:02 davb: pywx is running in production for some of the developers. not sure who else... 19:43:21 Ok. 19:46:37 where is k2pts... oh where or where can he be... 19:48:53 hazmat has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds) 19:50:01 hazmat (~chatzilla@adsl-66-123-57-58.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net) has joined #openacs 19:54:56 hmmm.. anyone seen this error before Server startup failed: Error during bootstrapping 19:55:07 error "Unable to locate [acs_root_dir]/packages/$package/*."" 19:55:09 (procedure "apm_load_queries" line 15) 19:55:10 invoked from within 19:55:12 "apm_load_queries" 19:55:51 It doesn't show the expanded Tcl for $package? 19:55:55 error happens on a restarted server... 19:56:23 it does show the expanded name but that package directory exists, so i don't know why its bombing out... 19:56:43 Aha. weird.
