[Zope] PyXML and SOAPpy installation for Zope

[Charlie Jones]

Ok..the suggestions below seem to have worked for installing the libs.   
I can now run the test scripts that came with SOAPpy with the Zope  
python interpreter.  Now I am trying create some External Methods based  
off of these test scripts.  I am running into a problem.  I think it's  
related to the import statements I am using.

Here's the imports I'm doing for the methods, these are taken directly  
from the test scripts that run fine against the Zope python interpreter:
   import os, re
   import sys
   from SOAPpy import SOAPProxy

When I try to access the external methods I get the following error  
from Zope:
   Error Type: ImportError
   Error Value: cannot import name SOAPProxy

Other than the import statements above, the only other references to  
SOAPProxy are in the following form:
   server = SOAPProxy(SoapEndpointURL, http_proxy=proxy)

The parameter variables are set before this statement.  As I mentioned  
before, running the test scripts against the Zope version of python  
works fine.  Does Zope handle importing differently than python?

Here's the method code I created in the Extensions directory.  Creating  
the External Methods works fine, it's just when I try to access them  
via dtml.
--------------------------------------------------
import os, re
import sys
from SOAPpy import SOAPProxy

def getTemp(zip):
   try:
      proxy_url=os.environ['http_proxy']
      phost, pport =  
re.search('http://([^:]+):([0-9]+)',proxy_url).group(1,2)
      proxy = "%s:%s" % (phost, pport)
   except:
      proxy = None

   SoapEndpointURL =  
'http://services.xmethods.net:80/soap/servlet/rpcrouter'
   MethodNamespaceURI = 'urn:xmethods-Temperature'

   # Do it inline ala SOAP::LITE, also specify the actually ns

   server = SOAPProxy(SoapEndpointURL, http_proxy=proxy)
   result = server._ns('ns1', MethodNamespaceURI).getTemp(zipcode=zip)

def translate(to, phrase):
   try:
      proxy_url=os.environ['http_proxy']
      phost, pport = re.search('http://([^:]+):([0-9]+)',  
proxy_url).group(1,2)
      proxy = "%s:%s" % (phost, pport)
   except:
      proxy = None

   server =  
SOAPProxy("http://services.xmethods.com:80/perl/ 
soaplite.cgi",http_proxy=proxy)
   babel = server._ns('urn:xmethodsBabelFish#BabelFish')

   result = babel.BabelFish(translationmode = to,sourcedata = phrase)
