The KinterbasDB extensions are available as a pyhton distutil but the distutil will not detect my zope server. It will only find my ActivePython interpreter. So I tried compiling the source using the free Borland Compiler but the setup.py file fails. I have never had to use a python extension (I stared programming with python 4 months ago). What are the proper steps for using KinterbasDB (or any python extension) with Zope.
I suggest going ahead and installing kinterbasdb in your ActivePython, then go look at its site-packages subdirectory (in Lib?). In all likelihood, you'll find a single "_kinterbasdb.dll" or similar file there, or perhaps a subdirectory. Copy this to your Zope's Python's site-packages. Cheers, Evan @ 4-am
