This means the facade never is imported, as the next imports will re-use the cached initial import. Here is an excerpt from the 'runzope' I use for "FrankenZope" sites (that is our affectionate name for that Interface package): #!/bin/sh python="/opt/zc/bin/python2.3" zope_home="/opt/zc/lib/zope2.7" zodb3_home="/opt/zc/lib/zodb3.2" zope3_home="/opt/zc/lib/zope3" instance="/var/zc/appserver" transylvania="/opt/zc/lib/frankenzope" # contains Interface! # N.B.: $instance/lib/python contains a symlink to $transylvania PYTHONPATH="$instance/lib/python:$zodb3_home:$zope_home:zope3_home" export PYTHONPATH config_file="/opt/zc/etc/zope.conf" zope_run="$zope_home/Zope/Startup/run.py" exec "$python" "$zope_run" -C "$config_file" "$@" Note that I abandoned earlier versions which just tried to force $transylvania into the head of $PYTHONPATH. I don't recall now *why* that didn't work; it could have been unrelated pilot error. I can verify that with this setup, the shambling hulk *does* arise from the charging table.

This means the facade never is imported, as the next imports will re-use the cached initial import. So I moved on to removing Zope 2's Interface package and replacing it with the facade Interface. For some reason I couldn't get this to start either. Perhaps I was fiddling with the paths wrong, but I couldn't get Zope 2.7 to start. I've since gone back to my own hack using a different __implements__ attribute. Since Zope 3 interfaces use the 'implements()' directive anyway, this hack only breaks backwards compatibility to Z3 interfaces that *do* use __implements__ (this is deprecated however), and could break ZODB portability in case of persistent interfaces (there are currently pretty uncommon and I don't need them at the moment). Perhaps Terry did get this to work; if so I'm curious to find out how.
