What is zope.introspectorui?

zope.introspectorui is a set of views for the information objects provided by zope.introspector.

Installing zope.introspectorui

zope.introspectorui is provided as an Python egg on cheeseshop and set up via zc.buildout

You may have setuptools already installed for your system Python. In that case, you may need to upgrade it first because buildout requires a very recent version:

$ sudo easy_install -U setuptools

If this command fails because easy_install is not available, there is a good chance you do not have setuptools available for your system Python. If so, there is no problem because setuptools will be installed locally by buildout.

Because zope.introspectorui is a developer tool, you normally use it by including the package the setup.py file of your own package. There will most probably a section called install_requires where you add ‘zope.introspector’ like this:

...
install_requires=['setuptools',
                  # Add extra requirements here
                  'zope.introspectorui',
                  ...
                  ],

In zc.buildout based package setups you can ‘activate’ usage of zope.introspectorui afterwards simply by (re)running bin/buildout.
