Almost everything you need to know for a start is here - stop googling. To keep it easy use this installation method first. http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL.html#id2 1) Install virtualenv 2) Create a virtualized Python environment using virtualenv named my_zope 3) optionally - active your virtualenv 4) install Zope2 egg with this command: (my_zope) d:\dev\my_zope>Scripts\easy_install.exe -i http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.13.12 Zope2 5) install Products.ZSQLMethods (my_zope) d:\dev\my_zope>Scripts\easy_install.exe Products.ZSQLMethods 6) install Products.ZMySQLDA (my_zope) d:\dev\my_zope>Scripts\easy_install.exe Products.ZMySQLDA 7) create a Zope instance outside the virtualenv environment http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL.html#creating-a-zope-instan... Using easy_install every egg package installs its dependencies. That means that package Products.ZMySQLDA installs mysql-python package for you. Use this power to get up and running quickly. Learn more about python packages here: http://guide.python-distribute.org/ Learn more about using buildout and recipes if you are comfortable with these topics above: http://www.buildout.org/docs/index.html http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.recipe.zope2instance Good luck!

Hello,

thank you for your help!

I'm quite new with the eggs installation and I don't have any clue on how to proceed. Could you please give me some tips or direction where I can find a simple how to? I did google it quite a lot, but I couldn't find a precise answer.

Thanks a lot,

Giampiero

Hi Giampiero,

you need to provide "Products.ZSQLMethods" to your Zope instance. You get the egg package here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.ZSQLMethods

Good luck, Sascha

Hello,

I'm running zope2.13.12, python 2.7.1 and I'm trying to install ZMySQLDA 3.1.1. In the zope_event log I get this error:
