If you already used Zope3 chances are that you now have a broken Zope3
library in your system python site-packages. The Grok tutorial has
detailed instructions on that topic.

When installing grokproject with the system python there is no mor e nee
to use a virtualenv, especially using a virtualenv --no-site-packages
cuts you off everything installed into the pythons site-packages folder.

"bin/projectname-ctl" is only created with the new paster based project
layout.

"bin/zopectl fg" should work ootb, as it is configured for the python
interpreter you installed grokproject with.

Try again running somthing like:

$ grokproject --zopectl projectname
$ cd projectname
$ bin/zopectl fg
