Hi Wouter,

did you actually check the pythonpath?

* start python (the one that is used by your zope installation, i.e. is 
referred to by the line PYTHON= in your /path_to_zope_instance/bin/runzope 
script)

* on the python prompt, enter:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path

you should find difflib.py in one of the directories listed here. Or try to 
import difflib from here:

>>> import difflib

What happens?

Regards,

Thomas
