Hello ... I've been trying to put together a relatively small ZMI based product. When I go to distribute it, I click on the distribution tab, select to allow redistribution and then create distribution archive, as per the Zope Book. (And I've also tried this w/o allowing redistribution, as well

Fix the related code and replace the rotor with something similar (never seen any code that uses enigma-style encryption for _serious_ reasons). It is unclear to me why they were using that in the first place. I'm not sure which you mean by 'the related code', you mean the internal Zope code

Rotor was removed form python for a variety of reasons (see the mailing list archives) but one of them was that it's a terrible way to do any sort of encryption. There are numberous python extensions that do encryption and decryption which could be incorporated into your product.

Zope does not use the rotor module and I don't think that it used the rotor module in the past. Extensions.py and Product.py both have 'import rotor' calls in Zope 2.7.3-0, from Zope-2.7.3-0/lib/python/App in my installation. ___ Zope maillist -

Hi Dennis ... both contain references. If you do not need cross Zope compatibility you should be able to safely remove the calls to rotor objects. I was just looking at that. By cross Zope compatibility do you mean ability to give the tarball to other people for installation in their
