I am in the process of modifying framework.py to support INSTANCE_HOME installations of Zope. This involves a) Honouring SOFTWARE_HOME when locating the Testing package b) Adding the instance's Products and lib/python dirs to Products.__path__ and sys.path respectively You can look at a preliminary draft version here: http://www.zope.org/Members/shh/Testing/framework.py I am however unclear about the __name__ == '__main__' test at the beginning of the first half of framework.py. Is this just some kind of (redundant?) safeguard, or is framework.py actually ment to be imported (in some cases at least), contradicting the comments? And, if the latter is true, what is the second half supposed to do (or to avoid) when framework.py is imported as a module? TIA, Stefan -- BLOWFISH, n. - Preference for beef
