There is; there should never be a need to edit any scripts.

Instead, just check out Grok from SVN, and do:

$ cd grok
$ python2.4 bootstrap.py
$ bin/buildout

This information is in Grok's INSTALL.txt.

If you want to speed up installation and you already have a version of 
Zope 3.3.1 installed, you can edit buildout.cfg and change the following:

* remove 'zope3' from the parts listing

* change the [zope3] section to read:

[zope3]
location = /path/to/zope3

* also go to the [test] section and change extra-paths

extra-paths = /path/to/zope3/lib/python

If you want to make one of your own projects use trunk Grok, you should:

$ cd yourproject

Check out Grok trunk:

$ svn co ... grok

Then edit buildout.cfg and add 'grok' to the 'develop' line in the 
[buildout] section.

Rerun bin/buildout (bin/buildout -N is faster as it avoids network access)

I'm not sure what's up with the testrunner and grokproject - if it ships 
with a bin/test that doesn't work out of the box, we do have a problem 
though, so let us know if that's the case (and add a launchpad issue).
