I can see the same problem in a Sept 2001 post:
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2001-September/100254.html

But yes, there are really few posts about this.

Note: Maybe a related problem, but I tries to use alternative solutions 
like showed in:
     http://marc.free.net.ph/message/20040705.105321.ba503c43.html
And its look like I have problems with METAL...

> What Zope version are you using?

Version 2.7.2-0 running on Windows XP (for tests - final platform will 
be a Linux server).


Q? Can it be an interraction between an installed Python and the Python 
installed by Zope ?

Starting the Zope-Python (in its bin dir, I get the following Python path):
<<
C:\>\Tools\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin\python.exe
Python 2.3.3 (#51, Dec 18 2003, 20:22:39) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import sys
 >>> for i in sys.path : print i
...

C:\Tools\Zope-2.7.2-0\lib\python
C:\Tools\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin\python23.zip
C:\dev
C:\Tools\pythontools
C:\Tools\omniORBpy-2.3\lib\python
C:\Tools\omniORBpy-2.3\lib\x86_win32
C:\dev\devpyexp
C:\Tools\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin\DLLs
C:\Tools\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin\lib
C:\Tools\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin\lib\plat-win
C:\Tools\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin\lib\lib-tk
C:\Tools\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin
C:\Tools\Zope-2.7.2-0\bin\lib\site-packages
 >>

Where we can see some of my python modules directories going before some 
Zope modules directories...


Note: If I found no solution, I have the possibility to request to work 
on the Linux box from now.

A+

Laurent.
