[Zope3-dev] Anyone using zc.recipe.zope3instance on windows?

[Jan-Wijbrand Kolman]

Hi,


I'm spending some time on making zc.recipe.zope3instance run properly on 
Windows. There're at least two issues to sort out:

1) Usually(?) Zope-3 is installed using the *.msi installer on Windows. 
The recipe should look in the "Scripts" sub directory of the parent 
directory of the Python executable for the mkzopeinstance.bat command.

2) The 'runzope', 'debugzope' and 'scriptzope' scripts have some extra 
(Python) path information patched in. However, '\' characters in these 
paths need to be escaped properly.

Is anyone else using this recipe for deploying Zope-3 applications on 
Windows? Or maybe people are using an alternative recipe for this purpose?

Are there any other known issues with running this recipe on Windows?

Should fixes for these issues go into the current recipe, of would it be 
better to introduce a Windows specific recipe?


kind regards,
jw
