Hi Andreas, I tried it with virtualenv --no-site-packages foo and it works. Excuse the false alarm. Peter

I just created a new Zope 2.12.0a4 that should easy_install nicely. Howto? virtualenv foo cd foo source bin/activate bin/easy_install -i http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.12.0a4 Zope2 Please give feedback.

On python2.5/gentoo/ppc I got this:
