o The Z_DEBUG_MODE environment variable gets set, which causes some
other cool stuff in Zope to happen.
Using the Medusa Monitor
If you're running ZServer with a medusa monitor port, you can
connect and interact via a python prompt with a running Zope
session, while others interact with it over the web.
Some constraints:
o You must connect to a server running on the local host.
o You must authenticate as superuser.
o At the time of writing the superuser password (in the access
file) must be plain text, not encrypted. This should be
rectified by full 2.0 release.
To use the monitor, start it from the shell prompt like so (as if
from the Zope root; must be python 1.5.2 or later):
python ZServer/medusa/monitor_client.py localhost 8099
You'll get back a python prompt. To connect with the running Zope
session:
>>> import Zope
>>> app = Zope.app()
>>> dir(app.Control_Panel.Products)
['ExternalMethod', 'MIMETools', 'MailHost', 'OFSP', 'ZCatalog',
'ZGadflyDA', 'ZSQLMethods', '_objects']
>>>
To see ODB changes effected via the web since you got the app, you
may have to do a bit of magic:
>>> app._p_jar.sync()
To commit changes you make, before exiting, you may have to do
another bit of magic:
>>> get_transaction().commit()
