Well, I solved "the problem" another way, when I realized that I could parse
the Stupid Log File and make traceback's clickable in that file:

I added a small python script that only gives me the latest stuff in the SLF,
and it works quite nice. Now when I get an error I just press CTRL-1 inside
Textpad and I get the traceback, click on the error rows and it will 
automatically
open the correct file and scroll to the row where the error occured.

For anyone using TextPad on Windows this should quite a time saver.
(I know that I forgot to implement a check for if the SLF has been reseted,
something my Zope start-up script does everytime I restart the server.

It's almost like having a RAD tool for Zope. Well not really, but it's an 
improvement.


It should also be possible to make a small script that takes a input file
with REQUEST information and then make the HTTP request to the development 
server
and return any traceback messages from the reply to TextPad.
(SLF only shows error messages when a product is refreshed, this way it 
should be
possible to retrieve traceback from the running code.

(Interactive debugging has to wait, but in Windows it would be terrific to 
use PythonWin
for the task. But starting Zope from within PythonWin usually has the effect of
PythonWin hangling. I might be because I have a really slow laptop :-)

I think I have a look at how unit test does this, when I have the time. It 
would probably solve my problems.
Running UnitTest from within TextPad or PythonWin would be a nice way to 
develop thing in.
(Unfortunately I'm not up in speed with writing UnitTests)

Thanks.
