[Zope] RE: Re: [Zope] How to get reportlab running and integrated with Zope

[Jim Sanford]

I had a similar problem with another program. I got past it by adding a "sys.path.insert....." statement with the path to the
relevant program modules in z2.py in the section just after line 220 (with the other 'sys.path.insert...' statements)

Thanks guys,
However ...
Neither suggestion has done what I am expecting.
I am using a binary version of Zope and the only python
is the one that came with it.
I have tried it under the Product directory,lib/python1.5 directory,
/usr/local/Zope/lib/python/site-packages/ directory. All give me the
same error.
I believe I might have an environment variable issue here. I have tried
setting them i.e. the start script and setting them as per the
instructions
(README) from reportlab but it still can't find module
reportlab.pdfgen. Shouldn't
I be able to run this under the python environ that came with Zope?

Dale
p.s. all info/updates I garner will of course be cordially sent to the
list

Dale,
If you're running a binary version of Zope, you need to put reportlab
into lib/python1.5 in your Zope installation.

If you're using a source version of Zope, put it in something like
/usr/local/lib/python/site-packages/ instead.

I think there's some confusion over Zope Products and python
packages. AFAIK, you'll need to write some external methods or
PythonMethods to access the reportlab functions....

Please let the list know how you get on with reportlab and Zope -
I've used it standalone and it's a beautiful package!

Tone out.
