I still can't get a Egg based Zope app/site up and running. The last headache that I ran into before I had to focus on other work was a core Zope egg (zope.filerepresentation, which we use quite heavily) being a Zipfile based egg. In this mode, Zope's configuration machinery can't get config files out of zope.filerepresentation, and all is lost.

Note that this means that either: 1. Said configuration machinery should be using pkg_resources APIs to access files, rather than using the filesystem directly, or 2. zope.filerepresentation's setup.py should include zip_safe=False Either one should fix the problem, but I suspect that #1 is what Zope really should do, in order to be fully egg-compatible.
