[Distutils] using ZSQLMethods pypi package in zope 2.13

[Leonardo Rochael Almeida]

Hi Fernando,

Sorry for not being able to get to this earlier, but I didn't want to
leave your message unanswered.

It looks, from your message, that you haven't yet understood how to
specify packages and versions in a buildout configuration. It also
seems like you're trying to dismember python packages to attempt to
put directories in certain points of the hierarchy (like directories
in the Products folder).

I suggest you first read-up on zc.buildout and how it treats python
distributions[1], and then I suggest you simply use packages for
Products.ZSQLMethods and Products.ZMySQLDA, instead of trying to
dismember then and assemble them inside your Zope instance.

To do this, simply follow the tutorial at [2], but adding
Products.ZSQLMethods and Products.ZMySQLDA to the "eggs" parameter of
the section that defines the Zope instance. I've attached to this
e-mail one such buildout configuration for your convenience.

The tutorial at [2] has some easy-to-fix errors (like creating a
'logs' instead of a 'log' directory, and not creating the initial user
for the new Zope instance), but nothing you shouldn't be able to
solve.

And in case you're still stuck, I recommend you ask for help in one of
the Zope lists, since it's likely you'll be stuck in non-buildout
problems at that point.

Cheers,

Leo
