<html><head></head><body style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Stefan, thanks for your reply. <br><br>In the meanwhile I was indeed able to put products in INSTANCE/Products (Zope 2.13.8). I did not know about that option you mention and I cannot check it now, but the Products from pypi were being recognised, as long as I put only the specific Product subfolder (not the whole pypi package which contains "cruft" for eggs, whatever else, I still don't fully understand).<br><br>However, with ZSQL Methods, the situation is different. It contains the specific ZSQL Methods folder, but also Shared/DC/ZRDB. When loading, Zope complains it can't find the module ZRDB/Search.py (or something like that).<br><br>So, ZSQLMethods depends on Shared, but Share is not being recognised (or at least not yet processed before ZSQL). How can I fix this? Somehow I guess the pypi package should be made an egg and dropped in lib/python2.6, and somehow configured. I couldn't yet find instructions on doing this for Zope.<br><br>I've been trying to read about this whole new procedure[s] (setup tools, buildout, eggs, virtualenv, ???), but I have the impression the situation has been changing and it's quite hard to figure out what makes sense or works right now. <br><br>Fernando<br><br>On Jul 4, 2011 09:46 "Stefan Loidl" <a href="mailto:Stefan.Loidl@lrz.de"><Stefan.Loidl@lrz.de></a> wrote:<br><blockquote type="cite">Hi Fernando,<br><br>the option 'enable-product-installation' in zope.conf has to be set to<br>on to enable product registration of old products in the Products<br>directory.<br><br>Regards,<br>Stefan<br><br>Am 03.07.2011 18:44, schrieb Fernando Martins:<blockquote type="cite">On 07/03/2011 09:30 AM, Fernando Martins wrote:<blockquote type="cite">merely dropping Products in the site-packages does not add a product.<br></blockquote>Browsing through the list I saw this post:<br><br><a href="https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2011-June/176165.html">https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2011-June/176165.html</a><br><br>with reference to a directive in zope.conf:<br><br>products /usr/local/Products.CMFCore-2.2.4/<br><br>I tried it with the package Products.ZSQLMethods here:<br><br><a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.ZSQLMethods">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.ZSQLMethods</a><br><br>but no product is added and I see no error messages.<br><br>The README.txt is not helpful and I found nothing useful in zope docs.<br>In despair, I tried python setup.py build/install and all I got is a lot<br>of zope packages being downloaded and dumped into the python install.<br><br>Could someone be so kind to tell me the procedure to install Products<br>from pypi?<br><br>Is it possible to do it also with old products not in pypi?<br><br>Also, what is the difference between zope.xxx and Products.xxx packages?<br><br>Regards,<br>Fernando<br>_______________________________________________<br>Zope maillist - <a href="mailto:Zope@zope.org">Zope@zope.org</a><br><a href="https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope">https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope</a><br>** No cross posts or HTML encoding! **<br>(Related lists -<br><a href="https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce">https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce</a><br><a href="https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev">https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev</a> )</blockquote></blockquote></body></html>
