[Zope] I can't seem to get site-packages to work under Win32

[Friedlander Paul]

Thanks for the input so far!!

OK, I've made a little progress. By comparing the Python tree in Zope and
the Python tree in ActiveState I guessed that putting the packages in
"C:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\bin\lib" would work. More specifically, I put the sping
and PIL directories in that path and not in a sub-directory called
"site-packages". This allows me to import sping just fine. 

When I try to import PIL (indirectly through sping) I get an error that it
can't find the _imaging C libraries. The _imaging.pyd file is in the DLLs
directory in ActiveState and it works fine there. I have tried many, many
locations in the Zope installation (even in the system32 directory) and
can't seem to find one that works.

Does anybody have an idea about this one?

Thanks

You could try putting your site-packages dierctory in the PYTHONPATH:

set PYTHONPATH=C:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\bin\lib\site-packages
