Thanks for all the advice. I found the problem with the -D flag. Line 10 in __init__.py was: contructors = ( Should have been: constructors = ( Oops. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm sure they'll come in handy in the future :) By the way, line 30 in ZProductManager.py didn't exist, though the product said that was the problem. Those blasted constructors can be really useful sometimes :) Thanks again, Troy -----Original Message----- From: Phillip Crumpler [mailto:phillip@crumpler.com.au] Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2001 7:45 AM To: Jim Washington; troy.farrell@wilcom.com Subject: RE: [Zope] Problem refreshing a python product It may be the formatting of the email, but could line 30 possibly begin in column 6? It might point to the line being indented one space too many... cheers Phillip ps: Sorry if this sounds like a 'are you sure it's plugged in' kind of answer, but it is better to get one of those answers when you don't need it that vice-versa =)

Hi, Troy

Assuming the traceback below is what you are getting now, I would look somewhere around line 30 in ZProductManager.py. But that's just a guess. Are you running Zope in debug mode? (Look for -D in /home/zope/Zope-2.3.1b1-src/start). Code problems with Products usually show up on the terminal where you start zope, if you are in debug mode.

Ok. Did that and deleted the pyc's. Now the Product isn't

the product page. If I undelete it, it keeps the same traceback.

I moved the product out of the zope directory structure and restarted. It was gone. Good. I brought it back in and restarted and it isn't showing up. That sounds like a problem in my __init__.py file. It is below if you don't mind looking it over:

from ZProductManager import ZProductManager

def initialize(context): """Initalize the ZProductManager product. This causes it to appear on the product list in the Zope installation.""" context.registerClass( ZProductManager, contructors = ( ZProductManager.manage_addZProductManagerForm, # The first method # is called when someone # adds the product ZProductManager.manage_addZProductManager

) )

If it helps, I'll send ZProductManager.py as well.
