It has a tool similar to zopeproject called 'grokproject' to help set up the buildout, which is described on grok.zope.org in multiple places. We make sure we nail down a versions list that we have per release of Grok and is automatically downloaded for you. We take a lot of care that grokproject works. That doesn't mean it's perfect, but it's likely to actually make a sensible install for people without them having to worry too much about various details. >> If you want this to work out of the box, Zope 3 isn't the best way to go. >> You install grokproject and it ought to just work.

Grok includes Zope 3 (and is just a few extra packages). You can do all your ZCML-related testing of Zope 3 stuff with Grok just fine. Grok is probably the easiest way to get Zope 3 installed. In fact you don't have to write any grok-related code whatsoever in your Grok project - throw away the one .py and .pt that Grok project generates and just keep your configure.zcml. The only thing that is different is that Grok's publication turns off some Zope 3 security proxies, so you don't have to declare security for your classes. (eventually we will probably gain something like this back in some fashion). This actually probably makes more testing easier, not harder. :) Regards, Martijn _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
