After the Python conference I am determined to run ZEO on my boxes, and now
I remember why I didnt last time.

All the examples are in Unix of course so Im trying to translate them into
Windows. I found the following problems in the ZEO code so far:

--

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "lib/python/ZEO/start.py", line 315, in ?
    if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv)
  File "lib/python/ZEO/start.py", line 297, in main
    signal.signal(signal.SIGHUP, handler)
AttributeError: SIGHUP

--

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "lib/python/ZEO/start.py", line 315, in ?
    if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv)
  File "lib/python/ZEO/start.py", line 310, in main
    open(zeo_pid,'w').write("%s %s" % (os.getppid(), os.getpid()))
AttributeError: getppid

os.getppid is Unix only

--

Has anyone else tried using ZEO on Windows or am I breaking new ground here.
Im sure I asked this last time but I couldnt find anything on this in the
mailarchives.

Zope 23, Python 1.5.2, Win 2k, ZEO 0.4.1

Cheers.
