MySQL backend fixes for Python 3.
With Python 2, text sent to and from MySQL is treated as bytes in
Python. The database may be recorded by MySQL as having some other
encoding (latin1 being the default in some MySQL versions - Roundup
does not set an encoding explicitly, unlike in back_postgresql), but
as long as MySQL's notion of the connection encoding agrees with its
notion of the database encoding, no conversions actually take place
and the bytes are stored and returned as-is.
With Python 3, text sent to and from MySQL is treated as Python
Unicode strings. When the database and connection encoding is latin1,
that means the bytes stored in the database under Python 2 are
interpreted as latin1 and converted from that to Unicode, producing
incorrect results for any non-ASCII characters; furthermore, if trying
to store new non-ASCII data in the database under Python 3, any
non-latin1 characters produce errors.
This patch arranges for both the connection and database character
sets to be UTF-8 when using Python 3, and documents a need to export
and import the database when moving from Python 2 to Python 3 with
this backend.

TAL - Template Attribute Language --------------------------------- This is an implementation of TAL, the Zope Template Attribute Language. For TAL, see the Zope Presentation Templates ZWiki: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ZPT/FrontPage It is not a Zope product nor is it designed exclusively to run inside of Zope, but if you have a Zope checkout that includes Products/ParsedXML, its Expat parser will be used. Prerequisites ------------- You need: - A recent checkout of Zope2; don't forget to run the wo_pcgi.py script to compile everything. (See above -- this is now optional.) - A recent checkout of the Zope2 product ParsedXML, accessible throught <Zope2>/lib/python/Products/ParsedXML; don't forget to run the setup.py script to compiles Expat. (Again, optional.) - Python 1.5.2; the driver script refuses to work with other versions unless you specify the -n option; this is done so that I don't accidentally use Python 2.x features. - Create a .path file containing proper module search path; it should point the <Zope2>/lib/python directory that you want to use. How To Play ----------- (Don't forget to edit .path, see above!) The script driver.py takes an XML file with TAL markup as argument and writes the expanded version to standard output. The filename argument defaults to tests/input/test01.xml. Regression test --------------- There are unit test suites in the 'tests' subdirectory; these can be run with tests/run.py. This should print the testcase names plus progress info, followed by a final line saying "OK". It requires that ../unittest.py exists. There are a number of test files in the 'tests' subdirectory, named tests/input/test<number>.xml and tests/input/test<number>.html. The Python script ./runtest.py calls driver.main() for each test file, and should print "<file> OK" for each one. These tests are also run as part of the unit test suites, so tests/run.py is all you need. What's Here ----------- DummyEngine.py simple-minded TALES execution engine TALInterpreter.py class to interpret intermediate code TALGenerator.py class to generate intermediate code XMLParser.py base class to parse XML, avoiding DOM TALParser.py class to parse XML with TAL into intermediate code HTMLTALParser.py class to parse HTML with TAL into intermediate code HTMLParser.py HTML-parsing base class driver.py script to demonstrate TAL expansion timer.py script to time various processing phases setpath.py hack to set sys.path and import ZODB __init__.py empty file that makes this directory a package runtest.py Python script to run file-comparison tests ndiff.py helper for runtest.py to produce diffs tests/ drectory with test files and output tests/run.py Python script to run all tests Author and License ------------------ This code is written by Guido van Rossum (project lead), Fred Drake, and Tim Peters. It is owned by Digital Creations and can be redistributed under the Zope Public License. TO DO ----- (See also http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/ZPTIssueTracker .) - Need to remove leading whitespace and newline when omitting an element (either through tal:replace with a value of nothing or tal:condition with a false condition). - Empty TAL/METAL attributes are ignored: tal:replace="" is ignored rather than causing an error. - HTMLTALParser.py and TALParser.py are silly names. Should be HTMLTALCompiler.py and XMLTALCompiler.py (or maybe shortened, without "TAL"?) - Should we preserve case of tags and attribute names in HTML?
