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

[Friedlander Paul]

You are right, the debug screen show "sys.path". However, I have tried
several times putting the packages into the directory
"C:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\bin\lib\site-packages". They all have "__init__.py" and
they still can't be found. The only thing that worked was putting them in
"C:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\bin\lib". 

I agree that this shouldn't be. Every other Python installation I have dealt
with used the site-packages directory. What I don't know is why or how to
change the behavior. And I still can't get the system to find the _image.pyd
file.

Look's like you have been a bit careless:

 If "syspath" is "sys.path", then if you put the packages you want to
 have in "site-packages" into "C:\PROGRA~1\WebSite\bin\lib\site-packages",
 then they will be found.

 Check that each package contains an "__init__.py". Some archivers
 delete empty file on unpacking. This causes Python not to recognize
 a package.
