Guys, I've just run into a problem and wondered if there was an elegant resolution. My BastionBanking package contains: currency.py - pure python Currency.py - Zope derivation The idea is that using the setup.py script, you can load currency.py into your Python modules and use it outside Zope if you wish. However, under Windoz, it doesn't recognise the different file names and wont allow them to both reside in the same directory! I had intended to use this technique widely to have a single distribution stream for both pure Python and Zope-wrapped modules.
