Hi Chris,

Sorry about the HTML, had Outlook set on Richtext (should've checked it), but it's probably also an HTML-like format (Please let me know if it is still wrong - got it set on Plain Text now).

I've added the /lib/python path, but I think the Persistent class (or something) is added dynamically when Zope starts, so pydoc's main gripe is about that.  Anyway, Dieter's "doc sucker" sounds like a better alternative - I'll check it out.

Regards
Etienne

Hey Etienne,

bit louder this time:
STOP POSTING IN HTML!

Sounds like it needs Zope to be available.
Try putting your Zoep root dir, and <Zope root dir>/lib/python in the PYTHONPATH
environment variable.

That said, I think Dieter did a better doc sucker that was aimed at Zope
specifically...

cheers,
