http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL.html recommends virtualenv, which was my first attempt. I ignored a link there for buildout because "buildout" meant nothing to me. Then someone recommended buildout as the mainstream (not mentioned in the docs as the recommended practice) and I went to: http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.13/INSTALL-buildout.html where I followed the first procedure there which is the standalone Zope with buildout. None of these worked for me to install ZSQL Methods. I am able to install the egg in zopepy, but then Zope does not recognise the Product. Some configuration is needed in Zope I guess, which I have not figured out yet. The main issue is the Shared.DC.ZRDB code, which is node a Product in itself. I can install other (simpler) Products. The last option, "Creating a buildout-based Zope instance" leads to full mixing code with data which doesn't appeal me much, but feedback like yours is pushing in this direction. I have come across a problem though. My server is not connected to the Internet and I need to use buildout in offline mode, as indicated here: http://www.buildout.org/docs/tutorial.html What would be the most effective way to prepare an offline set of eggs, without missing eggs? Using buildout in a connected computer and then copy the eggs from there I guess? And what about recipes? I will not be able to work on this for the next two weeks, but I would still appreciate feedback on offline installation and if possible how to setup Shared.DC.ZRDB in a standalone Zope setup.
