Hi, I have the problem that I cannot include parts of my Zope3 project in external, Zope3-unrelated projects due to import errors.
For instance, I currently build a LaTeX converter that automatically converts SQL-Alchemy table definitions into nicely formatted LaTeX that I can then include in my project documentation. This converter has to import my table definitions file, which however fails, as on the top of the file there are Zope3-specific imports and directives, e.g.: from zope.interface import implements import z3c.zalchemy metadata = z3c.zalchemy.metadata() My Python interpreter does not know anything about zope yet, as it's not in the PYTHONPATH, therefore the import of zope.interface fails. I assume, I should somehow put the Zope3 modules into the PYTHONPATH - but how would you recommend that? Should I perhaps link it from python/lib/site-packages? Or should I include the Zope3 top-level directory into PYTHONPATH? Moreover, what's even more complicated is the import of z3c.zalchemy, how should I solve that one? I thought about a construct like this: if ???started via debugzope / zopectl???: import z3c.zalchemy metadata = MetaData() else: from sqlalchemy import MetaData metadata = MetaData() But I don't know how to fomulate the if-clause above. Perhaps there's a better solution to this problem?
