I would recommend using buildout, most people do, if you have problems it helps to be in the main stream. > 1) what is the ZSQLMethods package in pypi? > http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.ZSQLMethods/2.13.4.

As you are using virtualenv you should be able to easy_install Products.ZSQLMethods in the same way you installed Zope2. (I hope you have some way of ensuring a consistent known good set of packages equivalent to the buildout versions.cfg, without it you are unlikely to get a working system.) > 2) is Buildout compatible with virtualenv? The option to install an Egg > without Buildout is not recommended over there. On my development machine I have a virtualenv python (using --no-site-packages) which I use to run buildout's bootstrap.
