OSError when trying to access http://localhost:8123/provisioning/

[dreid]

It seems nevow/loaders.py isn't prepared for you template to be inside a zipfile. It tries to call os.getmtime on the path below.

<type 'exceptions.OSError'>: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/Volumes/Users/dreid/Downloads/Allmydata Tahoe.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/site-packages.zip/allmydata/web/provisioning.xhtml'

One option would be to use a py2app recipe to specify that the allmydata python package isn't to be install in the site-packages.zip.

​http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html#id27 I think has the relevant information.

The attached patch fixes the problem, as you can see allmydata.provisioning.getxmlfile is not using resource_filename as allmydata.web.common.getxmlfile is. I've simply removed the getxmlfile from allmydata.provisioning and this appears to fix the bug.

The patch looks good, but before committing it I want to have an automated test of it. After chatting with dreid and with exarkun on IRC, I think that the best way to automatically test it is to add a step to buildbot called PrivateInstall, and then run the unit tests on the source code thus locally installed.

I went ahead and applied dreid's patch 1ddeb88e9b312185, to fix the bug in v0.9.0, but I still want automated tests showing that this stuff works when it is being run out of a py2exe or py2app package.
