Hi everybody, I am quite new to Zope and I want to use the Python debugger as described in the How-To: The Debugger Is Your Friend. I installed Zope with the Debian zope package version 2.1.6-5, so my zope directory is /usr/lib/zope (this is where I have a lib/python directory), but I have my 'access' file in /var/lib/zope. That's why when I am in /usr/lib/zope/lib/python and I start python and then I type "import Zope" I get a 'No access file found' error. Here is the transcript (1)bash://root@constance/var/lib/zope # cd /usr/lib/zope/lib/python /usr/lib/zope/lib/python (1)bash://root@constance/usr/lib/zope/lib/python # python Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 3 2000, 14:46:48) [GCC 2.95.2 20000313 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
import Zope Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py", line 95, in ? import Globals, OFS.Application, sys File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 96, in ? from AccessControl.User import UserFolder File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/AccessControl/User.py", line 294, in ? raise 'InstallError', ( InstallError: No access file found at /usr/lib/zope - see INSTALL.txt
In /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/AccessControl/User.py the code look like this: _remote_user_mode=0 try: f=open('%s/access' % INSTANCE_HOME, 'r') except IOError: raise 'InstallError', ( 'No access file found at %s - see INSTALL.txt' % INSTANCE_HOME ) Is the Debian package wrong or is the User.py code wrong ? Can I just change INSTANCE_HOME with "/var/lib/zope" in the User.py code ? Does this bug prevent the debugger from working ?
