I'm going to dig up something that's really troubling me today, and a "Martin Koekenberg" in the past. Martin first posted the following about repozo.py. Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Plone 3\Zope\bin\repozo.py", line 76, in <module> from ZODB.FileStorage import FileStorage ImportError: No module named ZODB.FileStorage Which, it was noted was a problem with PYTHONPATH not being set. One question I have is why plone3 installlation does not set this variable on installation? So I set it and now have the following problem (note I slightly modified repozo.py to print our sys.path before importing.) C:\Program Files\Plone 3\Zope\bin>repozo.py ['C:\\Program Files\\Plone 3\\Zope\\bin', 'c:\\Program Files\\Plone 3\\Zope\\lib \\python', 'C:\\WINNT\\system32\\python25.zip', 'c:\\Python25\\DLLs', 'c:\\Pytho n25\\lib', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\plat-win', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Pyth on25', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\wi n32', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'c:\\Python25\\lib\\site-p ackages\\Pythonwin'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Plone 3\Zope\bin\repozo.py", line 75, in <module> from ZODB.FileStorage import FileStorage File "c:\Program Files\Plone 3\Zope\lib\python\ZODB\__init__.py", line 20, in <module> from persistent import TimeStamp File "c:\Program Files\Plone 3\Zope\lib\python\persistent\__init__.py", line 1 9, in <module> from cPersistence import Persistent, GHOST, UPTODATE, CHANGED, STICKY ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

From the following, it's pretty clear that the cPersistence.pyd file is present. C:\Program Files\Plone 3\Zope\lib\python\persistent>dir Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is F07F-A1B8

Thanks a lot. This is really frustrating. Jim
