Have a look at the source distributions / eggs available at:

  http://download.zope.org/distribution/

Also, a checkout of the following might be instructive:

  svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/zope.pagetemplate/trunk

For instance, this should work if you have setuptools / easyinstall
already in hand for your python::

  $ bin/easy_install -f http://download.zope.org/distribution \
    zope.pagetemplate

That gets all the transitive dependencies, too::

  $ ls lib/python2.4/site-packages/
  easy-install.pth
  pytz-2005r-py2.4.egg
  setuptools-0.6c5-py2.4.egg
  setuptools.pth
  zope.component-3.4dev_r72903-py2.4.egg
  zope.deferredimport-3.3dev_r72527-py2.4.egg
  zope.deprecation-3.3dev_r72532-py2.4.egg
  zope.event-3.3dev_r72545-py2.4.egg
  zope.i18n-3.3dev_r72550-py2.4.egg
  zope.i18nmessageid-3.4dev_r72562-py2.4-linux-i686.egg
  zope.interface-3.4dev_r72681-py2.4-linux-i686.egg
  zope.pagetemplate-3.3dev_r72906-py2.4.egg
  zope.proxy-3.4.0a1-py2.4-linux-i686.egg
  zope.schema-3.3dev_r72571-py2.4.egg
  zope.tal-3.3dev_r72583-py2.4.egg
  zope.tales-3.3dev_r72584-py2.4.egg

And it works::

  $ bin/python
  Python 2.4.3 (#2, Oct  6 2006, 07:52:30)
  [GCC 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> from zope.pagetemplate.pagetemplatefile import PageTemplateFile
  >>>
