Back in April, I implemented for our local Zope version to be run from a Zip archive (which lets Zope start significantly faster). As you probably understand, I had to touch all these "__file__" references because they point inside the ZIP archive. It would have been much easier, had all places instead used "from App.Common import package_home; home = package_home(globals())". That, what I transformed "dirname(__file__)" references to. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests
