[Grok-dev] Errors with the current dependencies??

[Steve Schmechel]

Michael,

Running your procedure with Python 2.6 on Windows XP, I get the same
error as with Python 2.6 on Ubuntu 9.10:

<snip>

Getting distribution for 'transaction==1.0.0'.
Got transaction 1.0.0.
Getting distribution for 'zope.server==3.6.1'.
Got zope.server 3.6.1.

While:

Error: There is a version conflict.
We already have: zope.publisher 3.9.3
but zope.app.container 3.8.2 requires 'zope.publisher>=3.12'.

(vgrok) C:\vgrok>

A bit off topic, but we should note that if you are instructing a
Windows user to use the "--no-site-packages" virtualenv option, they
must also copy the win32 libraries and pywin32.pth file from their
system installation of Python to their virtual environment because
Grokproject requires win23api.  (The no-site-packages virtualenv options
causes this to be unavailable as expected.)

It would be nice if this somehow got installed as a dependency by
easy_install while installing Grokproject on Windows, but I am not sure
that is possible and the pywin32 installer only targets the system
Python directory.

I believe that is why the "Install Grok on MS Windows" howto leaves the
no-site-packages option out.  I wish there was a consistent story for
this.  I switch between the two platforms often and there are always
glitches.
