My instance is out of buildout so I tried:

[zopepy]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = Zope2
     Products.ZSQLMethods >= 2.13.4

gives the same error and

Products.ZSQLMethods = 2.13.4

gives another error (I suspect "=" is not valid)

ValueError: ('Expected version spec in', 'Products.ZSQLMethods=2.13.4', 
'at', '=2.13.4')

I commented out allow-picked-versions and I got no errors. However, I 
got no ZSQL Method in zope.

My instance is not in buildout and I would prefer to keep it separate, 
if possible. I tried [zopepy] because I saw it was making a custom 
sys.path with the eggs. ZSQLMethods is added to zopepy's sys.path but it 
does not appear in zope itself.

Do I need some extra configuration in the zope instance?

I installed ZMySQLDA in Products and it complained about missing 
Shared.DC.ZRDB. What to do to have the Sahred folder imported by Zope?

Thanks,
Fernando
