Starting my Zope 2.8.8 development copy was working fine until I [easy_]installed i18ndude. Now I get this:: File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/TAL/TALInterpreter.py", line 31, in ? from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageID ImportError: cannot import name MessageID That's because of the zope.i18nmessageid that was installed (as an egg) when installed i18n dude. I edited TALInterpreter.py to do this, on line 30: import sys; from pprint import pprint; pprint(sys.path) Now I get the following when I run ./bin/runzope peterbe@trillian:~/zope/zope288 $ ./bin/runzope 2007-03-28 10:00:22 INFO ZServer HTTP server started at Wed Mar 28 10:00:22 2007 Hostname: 0.0.0.0 Port: 8080 ['/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python', '/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python', '/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/Zope2/Startup', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/i18ndude-3.0b1-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.testing-3.4dev_r73174-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.i18nmessageid-3.4dev_r72562-py2.4-linux-i686.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.interface-3.4dev_r72681-py2.4-linux-i686.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.tal-3.3dev_r72583-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.deprecation-3.4dev_r73271-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.i18n-3.3dev_r72550-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.schema-3.4dev_r73183-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.component-3.4dev_r72903-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pytz-2005r-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.event-3.3dev_r72545-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.deferredimport-3.3dev_r72527-py2.4.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zope.proxy-3.4.0a1-py2.4-linux-i686.egg', '/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python', '/usr/lib/python24.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.4', '/usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk', '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gst-0.10', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/pyinotify', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.4', '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0', '/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gtk-2.0'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py", line 56, in ? run() File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py", line 21, in run starter.prepare() File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/__init__.py", line 98, in prepare self.startZope() File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/Zope2/Startup/__init__.py", line 257, in startZope Zope2.startup() File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/Zope2/__init__.py", line 46, in startup from Zope2.App.startup import startup as _startup File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/Zope2/App/startup.py", line 32, in ? import OFS.Application File "/usr/HOME/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 26, in ?
