Hi guys, I'm having trouble installing and using the japanese codecs (from http://www.python.jp/pub/JapaneseCodecs )with Zope on a shared host. I just can't seem to get the encodings available for the python used by the Zope install. Or, that is, I have installed the codecs and can 'import japanese' but whenever I try something like the following in a Python script: ---- import japanese #works print japanese #<module 'japanese' from '/home/USERNAME/webapps/zope/zinstance/parts/instance/lib/python/japanese/__init__.pyc'> #however there's nothing in /home/USERNAME/webapps/zope/zinstance/parts/instance/lib/python/ except a README.txt saying this directory will hold additional installed packages... should there be something here? text = 'blah blah' #okay text = unicode(text, 'utf-8') #okay text = text.encode('japanese.iso-2022-jp') #fails with lookuperror ---- LookupError: unknown encoding: japanese.iso-2022-jp This error also happens in an External Method. I have previously installed these codecs on an older version of Zope (Zope-2.7.0) (old-style instance) and Python (2.3.4) on a dedicated server, but am at a loss as to how to go about it with a Zope buildout on a shared host (Zope 2.10.9 on Python 2.4.3). The guys at Webfaction are also at a loss, and suggested I ask here. Anyone have any ideas? Aaron
