> I installed Zope with the Debian zope package version 2.1.6-5, so my
> zope directory is /usr/lib/zope (this is where I have a lib/python
> directory), but I have my 'access' file in /var/lib/zope.
> 
> That's why when I am in /usr/lib/zope/lib/python and I start python and
> then I type "import Zope" I get a 'No access file found' error.
