Dale, I've never used reportlab, but if you change the import statement to:
from Products.reportlab import reporlab.pdfgen
It might work.

Hi all,
I have downloaded Reportlab to my linux box and am trying to go through the install procedure. I un-tarred into /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products making the reportlab product underneath. This looks good in Zope ... (shows up as product under management screen) However running the test script (testpdfgen.py) under ...reportlab/pdfgen/test/testpdfgen.py gives me a module not found error when it tries to import reportlab.pdfgen. Any clues as to what I haven't set up? Anyone tried this yet?

Dale, If you're running a binary version of Zope, you need to put reportlab into lib/python1.5 in your Zope installation. If you're using a source version of Zope, put it in something like /usr/local/lib/python/site-packages/ instead. I think there's some confusion over Zope Products and python packages. AFAIK, you'll need to write some external methods or PythonMethods to access the reportlab functions.... Please let the list know how you get on with reportlab and Zope - I've used it standalone and it's a beautiful package!
