[Zope3-dev] Problems with zope3 on windows

[João Paulo Fernandes Farias]

Steps to reproduce:

1. install python24 from python.org
2. run ez_setup.py to get easy_install
3. run c:\python24\scripts\easy_install grokproject (may need a C
compiler, I used mingw)
4. make a grokproject running: c:\python24\scripts\grokproject sample
5. follow grokproject til it finish
6. try to run "zopectl fg" from ur project bin\ folder

Here's the traceback when I run zopectl fg (may get messy cause copied
from windows terminal...):

E:\work\bgweb2>bin\zopectl.exe debug
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\work\bgweb2\bin\zopectl-script.py", line 14, in ?

line 47, in

d_action
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AF_UNIX'

The other errors came after I "fixed" zdctl.py, method
send_action(self, action) starting at line 161 with this:

        try:
            sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        except AttributeError:
            # this is not unix maybe?
            return None

I replaced os.spawnlp() with subprocess.call() near line 530 and then
I got it working.
