Dan/AJ,I have this book and I've read the section on installing this package but at my level of Plone knowledge it didn't make any sense. Obviously there has to be some assumed knowledge in a book like that but it's knowledge that I don't yet have... So...going down the buildout.cfg route suggested by AJ I've added this to the eggs section (in bold): ############################################ # Eggs # ---- # Add an indented line to the eggs section for any Python # eggs or packages you wish to include. # eggs = Plone Pillow *z3c.saconfig MySQL-python* Then did a bin/buildout which did indeed go and fetch the required stuff *************** PICKED VERSIONS **************** [versions] MySQL-python = 1.2.3 SQLAlchemy = 0.7.8 z3c.saconfig = 0.13 zope.sqlalchemy = 0.7.1 *************** /PICKED VERSIONS *************** I now need to take some pills and lie down in a dark room...my head hurts. Thanks guys for all the help, it is REALLY appreciated (even if I don't understand it!)
You've gotten those packages, but they won't do much on their own. (If you were wanting to knock down a building, you've gotten a crane and a wrecking ball, but no chain, driver, etc.). You need your own package that brings everything together.
The book has instructions for creating an `optilux.cinemacontent` package to hold your configuration. You'll have to modify the instructions though if you're on Plone 4.2 and you've installed through the Unified Installer. I wonder .. while you're learning could you use the virtualenv method (see 'Creating an isolated Python environment', page 35)? You already have a system Python 2.6, so it should be easy. Then the book's instructions will work without modification.
