Say I have a process which needs some configuration but which is based on zope. How do I add arbitary sections into zope.conf at the top level and then how do I get hold of the configuration?

What I'd like to do (and tried!) is to write a component.xml, put it in my package and then add a section to the top-level of my zope.conf something like:

%import mypackage <mypackage_config> somekey somevalue </mypackage_config>

...and then get hold of it with:

from App.config import getConfiguration config = getConfiguration().mypackage_config

...but this doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong or do their need to be changes to zopeschema.xml to allow this?

You must extend the "zopeschema.xml" or let your process use a schema derived from "zopeschema.xml" (schema support some form of inheritance). -- Dieter
