Torii allows access to a running zope server over a unix-domain-socket. Torii makes it also possible to run scripts from the command line on the server. In addition it provides a python-prompt. That means full access to the Zope and ZODB at runtime.
If you use the buildout-recipe, a shell-script is generated in buildout-directory/bin/torii. When the zope server is started, execute ./bin/torii in an other shell.
- help
print help text and exit
- debug
interactive mode
- list
summary-list of all available scripts
- run <script>
run the given script
The simplest way to install torii is to use raptus.recipe.torii in the buildout for your project. This will add the required information in the zope.conf and build a startup script. The recipe provides two buildout-variables. The first is named ${torii:additonal-conf} and holds the additional information for the zope.conf. The second variable ${torii:eggs} is a list of all required eggs to add to the python-path. Like this torii can also be used for non-plone projects.
- socket-path
path of the unix-domain-socket to create
- threaded
If true, torii creates a new thread for each connection. Default is False (which blocks requests when torii is active)
- extends
additional-packages for extending torii. e.g. raptus.troii.plone
- params
additional-parameters required for extending packages. notation: key:value;key:value or key:value'newline'key:value

- raptus.torii.plone
This additional package offers the interface to plone. It provides some scripts, a global variable 'plone' and sets the siteManager(access to persistence zope.components ) at startup time.
- raptus.torii.ipython
An implementation of ipython. Code-completion, readline and colored python prompt.
Torii is pluggable. If you write a package, use the following attributes. These attributes are stored in your module (__init__.py) and by each connection they are read by torii.
- utilities = dict(name=method)
utilities are a set of helper functions. They will appear as globals in your python prompt. The globals can be extended with additional packages. To extend take a look in raptus.torii.plone.
- properties = dict(name=method)
properties are a set of helper attributes. Similar to the utilities, but properties are called by each connection. The call of the function is performed in the context of the connection. This means you can use local attributes in your function, like app, arguments ... Only the return value is stored in the globals. To extend, take a look in raptus.torii.plone.
- scripts = dict(name=path)
scripts can be run directly without the python prompt over torii. It's easy to build you own scripts. Again please take a look at raptus.torii.plone
- interpreter = Python
The standard python interpreter. To create your own interpreter, subclass interpreter.AbstractInterpreter and override all methods. Take a look at raptus.torii.python and raptus.torii.ipython.ipython
Change the front-page text on the plonesite:
# ./bin/torii debug
Available global variables:
conversation
ls
app
sdir
plone
arguments
In [1]: frontpage = plone['front-page']
In [2]: frontpage.setText('The power of torii')
In [3]: import transaction
In [4]: transaction.commit()
Get all plone users:
In [5]: plone.acl_users.getUsers()
Out[5]: [<PloneUser 'dagobert_duck'>, <PloneUser 'donald_duck'>]
Currently, there are no automated tests (yet). This project was created on SnowLeopard and was running on plone 3 and plone 4.
