grokproject kicks a win32api error

[Squidward]

When I grokproject I get the error pasted below.  I ran on Widows Vista 64 bit.. once as User, once as Admin.  No luck with either.  Problem appears to be the win32api module.. how can I fix that?

Hi,

can you try to install in an Python-2.5 environment?
I think this could be an issue with Python-2.6.

Hi,

Maybe you just need to install win32all:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/

Make sure to select the version appropriate for your installed python version.

Cheers, Leo

Officially only Python 2.4 or 2.5 are supported.

Thanks for the replies.  That put Grok up a notch in my quest for a framework.

OK... I'm making progress.

I deprecated from 2.6 to 2.5 -- no luck with grokproject
Then I tried to install pywin32 -- pywinwin gagged on 2.5
I went back to 2.6 -- pywin32 installed
---
Now, when I run grokproject (or paster create -t grok myproject) I get the error pasted below.

Ideas?

Not

Just to be clear: this error message you get on not installing
zope.app.container is still on python-2.6, right?

JW,

Yes... the Zope.app.container is not found when installing Grok under 2.6

I was afraid of that...

There's no binary egg for combination for python 2.6 on windows
available on the package index:

   http://pypi.python.org/simple/zope.app.container

So, really we should try to get you running on python 2.5 on windows.

Now, I'm by no means a windows expert (at all), but I would guess there
must be a way to install pywin32 on your python 2.5 installation...

Can anyone with a bit more windows experience please help Squidward a
bit further with this?? Squidward could please give installing pywin32
another try on your python 2.5 installation?

regards,
jw

Hi Squidward,

I have no experience with 64bit Vista but I remember when installing
pywin32 you need to pick the pywin32 version for your python version.
There is a different pywin32 for 2.5 than there is for 2.6. It also
does not look like there is any 2.5 version of pywin compiled for a 64
bit platform. Not sure whether it is required but this might be part
of your problem.

We are hopeful our 2.6 support is coming soon (specially with the our
move to the ZTK as I understand it) but for now you really should go
for Python 2.5. With exact error messages in hand you could try to
approach the pywin community with
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=78018&atid=551954 and see
whether they can assist you with any installation issues you may have
with the 2.5 version of pywin.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Hey,

One weird thing is that I heard from others at the Neanderthal II Grok
sprint that pywin32 wasn't necessary anymore with the new grokproject
layout. That appears to be incorrect then? Now who told me that?

Regards,

Martijn

Grok easy_install attempts still fail.  Trying it from another angle, I installed Zope 3.4 KGS.

3.4 installed error free and runs.  Is it possible to install Grok into an existing Zope 3.4 instance?

I'm trying hard to make this work.  I respect the Zope technology, but I only want to use it if I have Grok simplifying it for me.
