Hi all, I'm trying to initialise zcom, to try and perform a mail merge with word! I'm following the instructions here: http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/993002968 and I'm stuck of course! When I try to start zope now, I get the following error: [root 2.5.0]# ./start Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/zope/2.5.0/z2.py", line 468, in ? import ZServer File "/usr/local/zope/2.5.0/ZServer/__init__.py", line 80, in ? from HTTPServer import zhttp_server, zhttp_handler File "/usr/local/zope/2.5.0/ZServer/HTTPServer.py", line 43, in ? from PubCore import handle File "/home/zope/2.5.0/ZServer/PubCore/__init__.py", line 1, in ? import zcom File "/home/zope/2.5.0/lib/python/zcom.py", line 16 def init(): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax This looks okay to me! and it's the same as in the link above... anybody got any ideas what's going wrong here?!!! Also, if I do ever get it working (and maybe this is the problem), the link above goes on to say.... * now you have access to COM, you still need to copy the winXX files from your python distribution (or win32all extensions by Mark Hammond). What are these? Where can I find them? many thanks for any help! Regards, Greg Conway.
