Oops, you can drop the "& echo HI! ; sleep 10; exit" part of the command. That was left over from debugging ;^) The corrected zopeedit.bat file is then: @echo off C: chdir \cygwin\bin START /MIN bash --login -c '~/zopeedit.py \'%1\' &' -Greg

Here is the necessary magic to use External Editor's zopeedit.py with cygwin's python and xemacs under W2K:
1) Put zopeedit.py in your cygwin home directory (or edit the location in the zopeedit.bat file).
2) In C:/cygwin/zopeedit.bat put:
@echo off
C: chdir \cygwin\bin
START /MIN bash --login -c '~/zopeedit.py \'%1\' & echo HI! ; sleep 10; exit'
3) In ~/.zope-external-edit put:
editor=xemacs
4) Set up your web browser and/or file associations per the usual instructions to run
C:\cygwin\zopeedit.bat

Notes:
1- the escaped single quotes: Without these "C:\temp\file.ext" gets mangled to "C:tempfile.ext" before zopeedit.py gets it. It took a bit of fiddling to find this oh-so-simple solution. I also tried using pythonw and launching cygwin's xemacs from that. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to keep the filename from getting mangled that way.
2- START /MIN: there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent a command window from hanging around as long as zopeedit.py and the associated xemacs window are running. With START /MIN, though, the window is at least minimized.

You should be able to launch python inside cygwin somehow. I must say that cygwin is the only thing that makes Windows bearable... Good luck to you.

Thanks for the V0.3. I've managed to get it working on Windows for Notepad and WinEdt, but haven't yet figured out what magic is necessary to get it to work with my cygwin-based XEmacs. When I get that working, I'll email you the ritual incantation and you can add it to your docs...

For one, don't put quotes in the config file. I also think tmpnam is broken on WIndows. try hard-coding the temp directoy.
Other than that good luck. I know waitpid is broken on Windows too. That is why I am going to write a helper app specifically for Windows using the windows scripting host.

Hi, I've just been playing around trying to get zopeeditor working on the windows box. (I mostly use Windows as an xterm
local Mozilla + MS-Outook). I see that there is some code to try to make it work on win32, but I'm having no luck.
I'm trying to get things working from the command line -- then onto Mozilla. I've download a zope object 'test' and then run python zopeedit.py test I'm getting errors.
When I have (in the config file) editor="Notepad" editor="C:\\winnt\\system32\\notepad.exe" I always get: FATAL ERROR: Editor not found at "None"
When I have editor commented out, it hangs with this output: C:\cygwin\tmp>python zopeedit.py test zopeedit.py:104: RuntimeWarning: tmpnam is a potential security risk to your pro gram body_file = '%s-%s' % (os.tmpnam(), body_file)
Ideas?
