[Zope] Start up failing with ZopeCtlOptions instance has no attribute 'transcript'

[Sebastian Tänzer]

Hello all,

latest Zope2 releases (2.13.23.dev0) seem top have a bug in Zope2/Startup/zopectl.py and zdaemon/zdctl.py leading to this error on zopectl start (zopectl fg works fine):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/python/zope2/bin/zopectl", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('Zope2==2.13.23.dev0', 'console_scripts', 'zopectl')()
  File "/opt/python/zope2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Zope2/Startup/zopectl.py", line 488, in run
    exitstatus = main()
  File "/opt/python/zope2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Zope2/Startup/zopectl.py", line 447, in main
    c.onecmd(" ".join(options.args))
  File "/opt/python/2.7.9/lib/python2.7/cmd.py", line 221, in onecmd
    return func(arg)
  File "/opt/python/zope2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Zope2/Startup/zopectl.py", line 241, in do_start
    ZDCmd.do_start(self, arg)
  File "/opt/python/zope2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zdaemon/zdctl.py", line 305, in do_start
    args += self._get_override("-t", "transcript")
  File "/opt/python/zope2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Zope2/Startup/zopectl.py", line 223, in _get_override
    value = getattr(self.options, name)
AttributeError: ZopeCtlOptions instance has no attribute 'transcript'

I repeated my setup multiple times and was able to reproduce this every time with every setup, so I don't think this is a configuration error on my side (yet if it is please tell me what might be wrong). Zope2 was installed using a simple pip install Zope2. Imho this bug comes up as in Startup/zopectl.py" the ZopeCtlOptions class is beeing emulated but so. missed the transcript attribute (as before this happend with the startup-time attribute, too).

I created a patch that's attached to this mail and should be run inside the virtualenv python dir (i.e. where bin, include, lib etc. reside):

patch -p0 < patch-zope2-startup.diff

Maybe someone could confirm that this bug exists and this fixes it?

Best
Sebastian
