There isn't a problem here, you just need to make sure that whatever you try to %import is on your python path before you try and import it.

export PYTHON_PATH=$PYTHON_PATH$;C:\tmp\Products

...will probably do it.

Confirmed that this is still an issue in Zope-2.8.4 and I don't see it in the Zope-2.9 release notes. This has become an issue for us as well as we keep our products outside of the instance home and we use APE (which uses %import).

create a folder called C:\tmp\Products

in the zope.conf for the products directive
point to C:\tmp\Products

put ClockServer or something that has component.xml and friends in a
folder in C:\tmp\Products

try to to %import Products.ClockServer 

you will get a import error.  

I imagine because hte Products path/module isnt munged when
ZConfig reads the %import

not a huge problem - but certainly painful for Zope 2 series on Windows.
