Well, I give up. It's the strangest thing. Any Python script I try and ad=
d externally that has more than 1 line in it doesn't work (gives syntax e=
rror). I ran the install again and I notice that it gets an error while t=
rying to compile the Python modules. The error flashes by so fast I am no=
t sure what it is. The error isn't in the install.log. Where else would Z=
ope install put install errors?

I'm still working on this. There aren't any wierd characters in the file=
. Something else is going on. I've got Zope 2.3.2 installed and CMF 1.1 b=
eta. The monthRange.py module that I'm trying to import is the same one t=
hat works on my Windows 2K machine and downloaded from cmf.zope.org. The =
directory I installed this too on this Windows ME machine is c:\Program F=
iles\..., I am beginning to wonder whether that is the problem (the space=
in the dir name) in combination with running on this sort-of o/s. It's v=
ery puzzling. =20

Zope does not have a problem to find "DateTime".
It reports a SyntaxError not an ImportError.
There may be something invisible after the "DateTime" that
confuses the Python parser.
Maybe, the indentation is wrong. You know, Python block structuring
is based on indentation (I hate that but others are convinced,
it is a major strength). One missing space or one to much,
and you get a difficult to recognize syntax error.
