Hi, I'm trying to setup to run with either TextPad, which can run external program like python scripts and then parse the result and making Traceback lines linked to the line/file where the error occurred. Or try using Python which has an build in debugger which I like to be able to use. The first problem I encounter in both scenarios is that when a file "import Globals" which in its turn "from Persistence import Persistent", this fails. Mostly because Persistence is "hot patched" by ZODB. Is there any smart way to setup a "virtual Zope" environment without importing Zope (which mounts the Data.fs) or by importing Zope by in a light way without mounting a storage or just mounting a lights storage. The only thing I want to do in this first phase is to be able to make syntax/sanity checks.
