[Zope-dev] PYTHONPATH

[whit]

I've been working with workingenv.py and zope a bit.  It offers a very 
nice fashion of working with zope(constrains python and setuptools to 
operating in a restricted environment).

there are some lumps.

you have to call the --home flag when creating the environment. I 
haven't successful made a zope checkout in to a workingenv itself. those 
are small potatoes.


More pressing is that currently to make this work, you have to hand edit 
bin/zopectl and bin/runzope like so::

PYTHONPATH="$SOFTWARE_HOME"

to:

PYTHONPATH="$SOFTWARE_HOME:$PYTHONPATH"


Would there be any negative sideeffect to make this change the default 
in the instance skeleton?

It seems like if you've set your PYTHONPATH and start zope, you would 
expect that path to be available.

Anyone object to this going forward? Anyone think this is a bug that 
should be fixed(on older versions)?

comments, suggestions appreciated.
