In fact I've been forced doing the same thing (hacking z2.py) under Win2000, with Zope running as a service, because I couldn't manage to get things work properly with different approaches (like trying to set registry or environment variables). The only difference with Harry Lee is that now things work properly, including different instances (and versions) of Zope running on different TCP ports. The only problem is to remember to hack again when installing a new release: but this is not happening everyday! This approach is not so terrible (at least for not complex situations): now, I can test the porting of "old" products under a new release and check that everything works properly (or correct as needed). Then simply "hack" z2.py and "voilà: les jeux son faits". p.t. At 17:21 13/08/2002 +0100, Chris Withers wrote:

I suggest you un-hack it and do "python z2.py --help" to show you how to do that properly ;-)
