Re: [Zope3-Users] Multi platform dev environment
Hi Edward, Philipp's book (2nd edition which I use) is written with Zope 3.3 in mind. This was released few years ago. Since then, there has been quite a lot of evolution in terms of how zope 3 is organized, how instances are created etc. - People now use zc.buildout commonly for creating instances and distributing applications. - zopeproject is one recipe for zc.buildout way of doing things. - People in the zope 3 development community are generally using zc.buildout - zopeproject based buildouts I believe can be distributed in its entirety. They contain all the eggs necessary for your application. I for myself, have continued to stick with the Zope 3.3.1 for this long as Philipp's book covered it in quite detail and migrating to the newer ways of organizing applications would require some work. For more information about buildout, please visit http://www.buildout.org/ With regards, - Shailesh On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 6:12 AM, Edward Zwart ed.zw...@softserv.ca wrote: On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 12:00 AM, Shailesh Kumar shaile...@gmail.com wrote: Web component development with Zope 3 by Philipp von Weitershausen has been my best resource on zope 3 developement all these years.

Re: [Zope3-Users] Multi platform dev environment
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.

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.
