[Zope] zope/python startup error

[Peter Bengtsson]

I had that same error before as well.
That had nothing to do with Zope, rather Python itself. The problem was that
I had not installed TCL properly, and I reinstalled it.

But, true, your drivers must have been confused when you installed this
"shed-load" of Zope products.
Try to reinstall Python (the one with IDLE) and let the installtion use the
suggested paths for Python and TCL.

I had some "problems" with the PythonWin. After having opened a fully
functioning Python code in PythonWin, I could no longer use the following
code.
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'C:\Program\Zopesite\Extensions')

... so I commented this out and it worked perfectly fine as before in Zope.
Strange.

Cheers, Peter
