Hello,<br><br>I have been using Zope 3 primarily on Windows platforms for last 2.5 years. This is what I do for the typical setup:<br><br>- Install Python 2.4.4<br>- Install Python for Windows extensions for Python 2.4<br>
- Install Zope 3.3.1 (the binary installer)<br>- Go to C:\Python24\Scripts <br>- Use mkzopeinstance script to make a zope instance<br>- Checkout my application packages into the zope instance<br>- Run my application<br><br>
Using the binary installers for everything works fine for me.<br><br>Apart from these, I use some more packages:<br>- ReportLab<br>- Python Imaging Library<br>- z3c.rml<br>- etc.<br><br><br>My SVN repository consists of my application package only. I don't check in the zope instance to SVN. After checking out the application package in my zope instance, I need to copy the application-configure.zcml into zope instance's etc\package-include directory. <br>
<br><br>The zope 3.3.1 instances work perfectly as Windows services out of the box.<br><br><br>At times I experimented with virtualenv, and grok. But haven't been able to stabilze their workflows on Windows so far. <br>
<br><br><br>Web component development with Zope 3 by Philipp von Weitershausen has been my best resource on zope 3 developement all these years. Find more about this book at : <a href="http://worldcookery.com/About">http://worldcookery.com/About</a><br>
<br>With regards,<br>- Shailesh<br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 10:47 PM, Edward Zwart <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ed.zwart@softserv.ca">ed.zwart@softserv.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br></div><div>I'm slightly confused about what to include in my svn repo. ...everything from the server instance down? That gives me the server config files, the db and my own code, but also a lot of stuff I don't really need, no? Also, so far I've got 2 different directory structures on Windows and Linux. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The Linux install was created with virtualenv, and the Windows one following the screencast "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Installing Zope 3.2 on windows</span>"</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;"> from <span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/Zope3Wiki#tutorials" target="_blank">http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/Zope3Wiki#tutorials</a>).</span></span></div>
<div><br></div><div>So, obviously that's not okay, but I'm not really sure how to proceed. I tried installing Zope with virtalenv in Cygwin, but ran into problems. I just wanted to check in with some experts about the way I'm proceeding before continuing.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any advice or pointers to resources is greatly appreciated. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>e.</div>
