Wohoo! :-)

Beware that the no_NO part means that a lot of the templates in the TMS=20
(ZTMDefault) are in Norwegian. You should be able to understand their purpo=
se=20
though, and the core templates for the engine are in English.

(I've fixed a couple of bugs since Beta 1, and I'm planning on releasing Be=

2 this weekend.)

Yes, you need to make PyXML available to the version of Python that Zope us=
es.=20
I believe you can find the path to the version in Zope's Control Panel.

IIRC, the binary version that comes with Zope is usually installed under
'\bin' in Zope's SOFTWARE_HOME variable which is probably something like
"C:\Program files\Zope-2.7."

So Zope does probably not use the Python version you downloaded from=20
python.org.

PyXML looks in the windows registry for Python versions where it can instal=
l=20
itself. Unfortunately, the binary python version that comes with Zope is no=
t=20
added to the windows registry.

If you check the folder where you installed Python (probably C:\Python23), =
you=20
will find a folder named _xmlplus under C:\Python23\Libs\site-packages or=20
similar.

You need to copy this _xmlplus folder and all its content into Zope's=20
site-packages folder. Most likely:
=A0 =A0 "C:\Program files\Zope-2.7\bin\Lib\site-packages\"

Then you need to restart Zope.

doesn't work.)
