[Zope] initalising zcom

[Greg Conway]

Hi all,

I'm trying to initialise zcom, to try and perform a mail merge with word!

I'm following the instructions here:

http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/993002968

and I'm stuck of course!

When I try to start zope now, I get the following error:

[root 2.5.0]# ./start
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/zope/2.5.0/z2.py", line 468, in ?
    import ZServer
  File "/usr/local/zope/2.5.0/ZServer/__init__.py", line 80, in ?
    from HTTPServer import zhttp_server, zhttp_handler
  File "/usr/local/zope/2.5.0/ZServer/HTTPServer.py", line 43, in ?
    from PubCore import handle
  File "/home/zope/2.5.0/ZServer/PubCore/__init__.py", line 1, in ?
    import zcom
  File "/home/zope/2.5.0/lib/python/zcom.py", line 16
    def init():
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


This looks okay to me! and it's the same as in the link above... anybody got
any ideas what's going wrong here?!!!

Also, if I do ever get it working (and maybe this is the problem), the link
above goes on to say....

* now you have access to COM, you still need to copy the winXX files from
your
python distribution (or win32all extensions by Mark Hammond).

What are these? Where can I find them?

many thanks for any help!

Regards,

Greg Conway.
