Some problem with the import of "Products.CMFCalendar"...

Apparently, some "Portal" cannot be imported.
Look at "Products/CMFCalendar/__init__.py" where this "Portal" import
comes from. You may get a clue why it cannot be imported.


When you just want to start Zope (despite this error), the following
part of the traceback is the key:

>  File "/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 631, in
>import_products
>    import_product(product_dir, product_name, raise_exc=debug_mode)

Replace this "raise_exc=debug_mode" by "raise_exc=0".
You will still get the traceback in your log file but Zope will come up
and be partially usable.


I do not understand why Zope should not start in debug_mode
when a product cannot be imported.
Unfortunately, I was not convincing enough that the Zope
maintainers would change it.
