Stefan, thanks for your reply.

In the meanwhile I was indeed able to put products in INSTANCE/Products (Zope 2.13.8). I did not know about that option you mention and I cannot check it now, but the Products from pypi were being recognised, as long as I put only the specific Product subfolder (not the whole pypi package which contains "cruft" for eggs, whatever else, I still don't fully understand).

However, with ZSQL Methods, the situation is different. It contains the specific ZSQL Methods folder, but also Shared/DC/ZRDB. When loading, Zope complains it can't find the module ZRDB/Search.py (or something like that).

So, ZSQLMethods depends on Shared, but Share is not being recognised (or at least not yet processed before ZSQL). How can I fix this? Somehow I guess the pypi package should be made an egg and dropped in lib/python2.6, and somehow configured. I couldn't yet find instructions on doing this for Zope.

I've been trying to read about this whole new procedure[s] (setup tools, buildout, eggs, virtualenv, ???), but I have the impression the situation has been changing and it's quite hard to figure out what makes sense or works right now.

Hi Fernando,

the option 'enable-product-installation' in zope.conf has to be set to
on to enable product registration of old products in the Products
directory.

merely dropping Products in the site-packages does not add a product.
Browsing through the list I saw this post:

https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2011-June/176165.html

with reference to a directive in zope.conf:

products /usr/local/Products.CMFCore-2.2.4/

I tried it with the package Products.ZSQLMethods here:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.ZSQLMethods

but no product is added and I see no error messages.

The README.txt is not helpful and I found nothing useful in zope docs.
In despair, I tried python setup.py build/install and all I got is a lot
of zope packages being downloaded and dumped into the python install.

Could someone be so kind to tell me the procedure to install Products
from pypi?

Is it possible to do it also with old products not in pypi?

Also, what is the difference between zope.xxx and Products.xxx packages?

Regards,
Fernando
