Looks like your Zope installation has been corrupted:

  Usually "C:\usr\apps\Zope-2.7.2-0\lib\python\ZODB"
  should contain a "config.py".

  Apparently, this is no longer the case.

It is very unlikely that "ExternalEditor" is responsible for
this. Apparently, something bad happened on your file system.


The easiest way would probably be to reinstall Zope (you know
that from Windows, I expect). This would take care of this
and potential other places where something may have been lost.

Alternatively, you could just try to restore "config.py" (copying
it from some Zope 2.7.2 installation).
