Nick,
Nick,
Thanks for the help. I think you identified the problem.
If I go to python in my Zope installation and run
>>> import pil
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named pil
It appears that pil is not installed.
I went to the Pil site to get the installtion file
I downloaded
Python Imaging Library 1.1.5 for Python 2.4 (off-site link) (Windows only)
Here's the problem:
When I run the install, it must find a registered version of Python. I did
have another instance of Python installed at C:\Python24 (version 2.4.3)
It installed PIL to this instance, but did not work, since it is not the
instance in Zope. I tried uninstalling the C:\Python24. Now it can't find
any instance and won't let me enter one.
I found a script on the site for registering a version of Python in Windows.
Here it is:
import sys
from _winreg import *
# tweak as necessary
version = sys.version[:3]
installpath = sys.prefix
regpath = "SOFTWARE\\Python\\Pythoncore\\%s\\" % (version)
installkey = "InstallPath"
pythonkey = "PythonPath"
pythonpath = "%s;%sLib\\;%sDLLs\\" % (
installpath, installpath, installpath
)
def RegisterPy():
try:
reg = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, regpath)
except EnvironmentError:
try:
reg = CreateKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, regpath)
SetValue(reg, installkey, REG_SZ, installpath)
SetValue(reg, pythonkey, REG_SZ, pythonpath)
CloseKey(reg)
except:
print "*** Unable to register!"
return
print "--- Python", version, "is now registered!"
return
if (QueryValue(reg, installkey) == installpath and
QueryValue(reg, pythonkey) == pythonpath):
CloseKey(reg)
print "=== Python", version, "is already registered!"
return
CloseKey(reg)
print "*** Unable to register!"
print "*** You probably have another Python installation!"
if __name__ == "__main__":
RegisterPy()
I am very new to Python. I saved the script and ran it under python. It
still isn't registered.
I believe I need to set two variables:
installkey = "InstallPath"
pythonkey = "PythonPath"
Here is what I think they might be, but I am not sure:
pythonkey = "C:\Program Files\Zope-2.9.3\bin" This is where python.exe
exists
I am not sure where the InstallPath should be. I am guessing
"C:\Program Files\Zope-2.9.3\bin\libs\" because I noticed that when I
installed Pil to my C:\Python24 instance, it created a folder called libs,
which isn't in the Zope install.
I hesitate to try this since it changes the registry. Nick, I appreciate
your and anybody else's thoughts on this before I try it.
One other question. Should my install of Zope normally registered Python
(and PIL)? If so, would it make sense to reinstall Zope? If so, can I do
that without losing anything I have already developed and setup?
Thanks for all replies in advance.
Joe

Yes. Probably by actually installing PIL. ;-)
I think this is one of the (possibly rare) occasions when an error
message does actually mean what it says. ;-)
Googling for "PIL Python Windows" revealed :
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
If you're sure you've already got PIL in the python 2.4 version (which
you can test by something like import PIL) then its a path issue.
Perhaps Plone's on-line documentation is unclear about the fact the PIL
is an external pre-requisite......
