I have Zope and Activestate Python installed together in the same win-xp machine. Everything works fine until I've learned that I can put "sys.setdefaultencoding('cp874')" into sitecustomize.py to accomodate my native language coding. Since I do that, my Zope 2.7.0 service can no longer start. I can start it manually from "runzope.bat", but it never start through the windows system service. A full day investigation reveal that the trouble cause by the missing of the '<SOFTWARE_HOME>\lib\python' in the system environment's "PYTHONPATH". The "runzope.bat" set that up before then execution of "Zope.Startup.run.py", hence it run fine. But "zopeservice.py" rely on the "<SOFTWARE_HOME>\bin\Lib\site-packages\sitecustomize.py" to set up the correct "PYTHONPATH". Here is the code inside Zope's sitecustomize.py
""" Add Zope packages in Windows binary distro to sys.path automagically """
import sys
import os
try:
sp = __file__
except:
sp = None
if sp:
dn = os.path.dirname
swhome = os.path.join(dn(dn(dn(dn(sp)))), 'lib', 'python')
if os.path.exists(swhome):
sys.path.insert(0, swhome)Unluckily, this sitecustomize.py is now masked with my sitecustomize.py inside Activestate's site-package directory, which actually get loaded by Zope via the Python registry load path (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.3\PythonPath) instead of the expected one.
I don't think setting up PYTHONPATH inside sitecustomize.py is a good idea. Better keep this mechanism for site specific problems. I'd rather insert a line into zopeservice.py like this.
import os.path from os.path import dirname as dn import sys
# these are replacements from mkzopeinstance PYTHONW = r'C:\Zope-2.7.0\bin\pythonw.exe' SOFTWARE_HOME=r'C:\Zope-2.7.0\lib\python' INSTANCE_HOME = r'C:\Zope-MIB' ZOPE_HOME = r'C:\Zope-2.7.0'
ZOPE_RUN = r'%s\Zope\Startup\run.py' % SOFTWARE_HOME CONFIG_FILE= os.path.join(INSTANCE_HOME, 'etc', 'zope.conf') PYTHONSERVICE_EXE=r'%s\bin\PythonService.exe' % ZOPE_HOME
sys.path.insert(0, SOFTWARE_HOME) os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] = SOFTWARE_HOME <---------------- inserted line
from nt_svcutils.service import Service
servicename = 'Zope_%s' % str(hash(INSTANCE_HOME))
class InstanceService(Service): start_cmd = '"%s" "%s" -C "%s"' % (PYTHONW, ZOPE_RUN, CONFIG_FILE) _svc_name_ = servicename _svc_display_name_ = 'Zope instance at %s' % INSTANCE_HOME _exe_name_ = PYTHONSERVICE_EXE
if __name__ == '__main__': import win32serviceutil win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(InstanceService)
This is much more palatable in my opinion.
