Grok will not launch with win32 installed

[Mats]

When Mark Hammond's win32 extension is installed, grok fails to launch with the following error. If I uninstall win32 it launches just fine.

Traceback (most recent call last):

[Matthias (nitrogenycs)]

This traceback actually means win32api is *not* installed. You'll have to do it by hand maybe.

[Mats (mats-nordgren)]

No this traceback is with win32 installed. When it is not installed grok launches fine.

[Mats (mats-nordgren)]

I just uninstalled win32 and launched grok.

serving on http://127.0.01:8080

Reinstalled win32 again.

ImportError: No module named win32api

[Jan-Jaap Driessen (janjaapdriessen)]

Mats, the error you encounter is a result of z3c.autoinclude going through your sys.path.

If you install grok inside a virtualenv this error will go away.

We (the grok people) need to come up with a solution for this.

[Mats (mats-nordgren)]

Jan,

That would explain it. I was getting excited not having to use virtualenv anymore but it appears I will have to use it a bit longer.

Thanks

[Jan-Jaap Driessen (janjaapdriessen)]

Mats,

You can use grok without virtualenv if you stop using z3c.autoinclude. It's as simple as removing the line `<includeDependencies package=".">` from the configure.zcml of your project. The downside is that you have to configure the packages you depend on manually.

I read on zope-dev that `cykooz` is working on z3c.autoinclude. Maybe his changes fix your problem.

Cheers,

JJ
