ZWiki: "product broken" on Zope 2.5.1/Debian

[Jochen Demuth]

Hi, I am trying to install ZWiki on Zope 2.5.1 / Debian 2.4.20-bf2.4-xfs.

First I copied the contents of the ZWiki-0.32.0.tgz to the
Products-directory under SOFTWARE_HOME:

This is what it contained before:

server1:/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products# ls
ExternalMethod PageTemplates StandardCacheManagers ZSQLMethods
Hotfix_2002-06-14 PluginIndexes TemporaryFolder ZopeTutorial
MIMETools PythonScripts Transience __init__.py
MailHost Sessions ZCatalog __init__.pyc
OFSP SiteAccess ZGadflyDA

After restarting Zope there was no ZWiki in the Product Management, but
in the server start log there was something saying:

SyntaxWarning: local name 'self' in 'mailbox' shadows use of 'self' as
global in nested scope 'msgfactory'

Then I read something that installing in INSTANCE_HOME/Products is the
prefered way of installing zwiki with Zope 2.7. (I have Zope 2.5.1!). So
where should I put it?

Well I gave it a try and moved the ZWiki folder there:

server1:/var/lib/zope/Products# ls
ZWiki

Now after restarting Zope there is a ZWiki in my Product Management, but
it appears to be *broken* ... :-(

The Item in Products is named "ZWiki (Broken product ZWiki)", and when I
click it I get this page:

/====

Product at /Control_Panel/Products/ZWiki

Traceback (most recent call last):

in ?
File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/ZWiki/Comments.py", line 3, in ?
ImportError: No module named email

\====

Can you give any hints?

I installed Zope with apt-get from stable, but maybe I should install
manually from the recent stable Version from the Zope page?

Thank you for your help!

Jochen

One quick hint: the "email" package has only been included in the Python
standard library since Python 2.2, though if you get if from somewhere else
it will work with Python 2.1. But you really should upgrade to Python 2.3.4
and Zope 2.7 - I don't even know if ZWiki is meant to work with Zope 2.5.

Another hint: this question would be better posted to (e-mail address removed).

HTH,
James

Use a more recent Zope, like 2.6.4 or 2.7.x.

I have ZWiki 0.31.0 running on Zope 2.7.1. Works fine, including
External Editor.

HTH.

Thank you very much, also thank you Ng Pheng Siong!

So I will upgrade to 2.3.4.

Can I just make/install this version over the old one or does the old
one have to be removed? how can i remove an old python installation,
that I installed from source?

Greetings
Jochen

Well i just deleted folders that seemed to belong to zope and python,
then installed zlib, then python, zope and zwiki. Seems to work.

I used the empty product folder in my instance home, and now I have
ZWiki running:
