IDE compatible launcher script

idelauncher.py is a Zope start up script which does not fork or set signal handlers. This should prevent various problems when Zope is run as a child process under an IDE.

  • Download idelauncher.py

  • Drop idelauncher.py to your bin folder under buildout

  • Use idelauncher.py as the application entry point instead of bin/instance in Eclipse Run... New Python Run... Main module. Since the project file chooser doesn't allow you to pick file outside the project tree you can just type in the absolute file path like:

    /home/moo/getpaid.buildout/bin/idelauncher.py

Download from command line:

cd bin
wget http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/developing-plone-with-eclipse/idelauncher.py

Compatibility notes

  • As far as I know this is meeded only for ZMedusa based installations (default). repoze should run better under IDEs.

Version history

Available in the script itself.
