[Zope] ZopeXMLMethods installation woes

[Ken Ara]

Once again, thank you Dieter and others who have had
the patience to help me learn. I searched a lot but
never did find out where one should install third
party Python modules. It is often mentioned that they
should be installed using the same Python that runs
Zope, but not where to install!

I installed 4Suite and Py-XML into my SOFTWARE_HOME.
Now I can import the 4Suite modules from the command
line using Zope's python.

But when I ran the tests that come with
ZopeXMLMethods, the product is still unable to import
the necessary modules. 

Maybe this is linked to the other, _new_ problem I
have:

Now, when I try to add a XSLTMethod from the ZMI, I
get the following message (before the add form can
display) :

This problem was mentioned recently on this list (
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2004-November/154510.html
), but no solution was posted. The problem seems to
affect Zope 2.7.3.

I would be grateful for any hints..
