I had a similar problem with another program. I got past it by adding a "sys.path.insert....." statement with the path to the relevant program modules in z2.py in the section just after line 220 (with the other 'sys.path.insert...' statements) __________________________________________________________________ Jim Sanford .

Neither suggestion has done what I am expecting. I am using a binary version of Zope and the only python is the one that came with it. I have tried it under the Product directory,lib/python1.5 directory, /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/site-packages/ directory. All give me the same error. I believe I might have an environment variable issue here. I have tried setting them i.e. the start script and setting them as per the instructions (README) from reportlab but it still can't find module reportlab.pdfgen. Shouldn't I be able to run this under the python environ that came with Zope?

Dale, I've never used reportlab, but if you change the import statement to:
from Products.reportlab import reporlab.pdfgen
It might work.

Hi all,
I have downloaded Reportlab to my linux box and am trying to go
through the
install procedure. I un-tarred into /usr/local/Zope/lib/python/Products making the reportlab product underneath. This looks good in Zope ... (shows up as product under management screen) However running the test script (testpdfgen.py) under ...reportlab/pdfgen/test/testpdfgen.py gives me a module not found error when it tries to import reportlab.pdfgen. Any clues as to what I haven't set up? Anyone tried this yet?
lost in Zen Dale
Dale, If you're running a binary version of Zope, you need to put reportlab into lib/python1.5 in your Zope installation. If you're using a source version of Zope, put it in something like /usr/local/lib/python/site-packages/ instead. I think there's some confusion over Zope Products and python packages. AFAIK, you'll need to write some external methods or PythonMethods to access the reportlab functions.... Please let the list know how you get on with reportlab and Zope - I've used it standalone and it's a beautiful package!
