Hello, I am running Zope on windows using the builtin webserver and attempting to add a new Product. The way I've been going about using Zope so far is to install a new "Zope directory" for each new project...not so bad until I started trying to "compile" python code. It seems to me I should create a "default" install of Zope and point my python path to those directories ?

I am trying to compile the following Product code (below) and get the following err message:

Traceback (innermost last): File "C:\Tech\Lang\Python\Python152\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\scrip tutils.py", line 237, in RunScript exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__ File "C:\Zope\ProjectMgt\lib\python\Products\ProjectMgt\projobjs.py", line 1, in ? from Globals import HTMLFile, MessageDialog, Persistent File "C:\Zope\ProjectMgt\lib\python\Globals.py", line 90, in ? import Acquisition, ComputedAttribute, App.PersistentExtra, os File "C:\Zope\ProjectMgt\lib\python\App\PersistentExtra.py", line 87, in ? from Persistence import Persistent ImportError: cannot import name Persistent

First, you want to put any "Zope Products" in Zopedir/lib/python/Products. Here, your products can find everything they need. Also, Persistent is in the Persistence package. from Persistence import Persistent I'm not sure if it's still in Globals, but you should get it from Persistence anyway. -Michel
