Re: [Zope3-Users] Multi platform dev environment

[Shailesh Kumar]

Hello,

I have been using Zope 3 primarily on Windows platforms for last 2.5 years.
This is what I do for the typical setup:

- Install Python 2.4.4
- Install Python for Windows extensions for Python 2.4
- Install Zope 3.3.1  (the binary installer)
- Go to C:\Python24\Scripts
- Use mkzopeinstance script to make a zope instance
- Checkout my application packages into the zope instance
- Run my application

Using the binary installers for everything works fine for me.

Apart from these, I use some more packages:
- ReportLab
- Python Imaging Library
- z3c.rml
- etc.


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.


The zope 3.3.1 instances work perfectly as Windows services out of the box.


At times I experimented with virtualenv, and grok. But haven't been able to
stabilze their workflows on Windows so far.



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 : http://worldcookery.com/About

With regards,

 If I'm asking in the wrong place, please redirect me, thanks.

 I'm new to Zope 3 (coming from LAMP) and am having some trouble finding
 resources on how best to set up my dev environment.  I will be working in
 Windows and testing (and ultimately deploying) on Linux.
 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.

 The Linux install was created with virtualenv, and the Windows one
 following the screencast Installing Zope 3.2 on windows from
 http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/Zope3Wiki#tutorials).

 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.

 Any advice or pointers to resources is greatly appreciated.

 Thanks

Re: [Zope3-Users] Wiki proposal

[Shailesh Kumar]

Hello,

I had seen a site new.zope.org coming up sometime back which was using
Sphinx for the documentation of Zope 3. Though there was never a public
announcement of the website on this mailing list. The approach seemed
promising.  It somehow supported integration of work from multiple
contributers from different websites. For example, z3c.form documentation
was integrated from Paul Cauldner's website.  Unfortunately today it seems
that the website has gone somewhere else and I don't know where it is.
Further digging shows that its now accessible at http://docs.zope.org/. I
think I missed out when this change happened.

There seems to be another thing coming up (which I noticed today).
http://docs.zope.org/zopetoolkit/ . Seems like zope 3 is going to be called
zope toolkit from 3.5 onwards. I have accidentally discovered it today. This
site is also developed in Sphinx.

I am not sure what is the process for contributing to these documentation
websites

Overall, to me it seems that Sphinx based documentation is better compared
to a Wiki based documentation. One can focus on writing documentation using
simple text editors.

The http://www.zope.org/ website talks about becoming a contributor, but
thats focused on becoming a developer. May be some more information can be
provided for becoming a documentation contributor.

 I was thinking about the idea of creating a wiki including classes,
 functions, examples and concepts about zope3, similar to the php
 documentation and more firendly than ++apidoc++

 If such a project were started, would you be interested in partecipating?
