[Zope] Python + COM (from external method)

[Jim Sanford]

I had this problem.

If you have Python installed standalone on the machine and a copy under Zope, you need to make sure that the wincomm stuff is in the
python path of the Zope python. You can add the proper dirs to the path in z2.py.)

How come this fails...
------------------------------------------
import win32com.client
oOleObj = win32com.client.Dispatch("DSOleFile.PropertyReader")
--------------------------------------------------

when run from Zope (within and External Method) when it works from Python
standalone on the same machine ?
