z3c.form issue: ImportError: No module named ptcompat

Question

Has z3c.form API changes recently. I try to do following:

  from z3c.form.ptcompat import ViewPageTemplateFile
  widget.template = ViewPageTemplateFile("templates/minmax.pt")

I get:

  ImportError: No module named ptcompat

How to fix?

You should be using the z3c.ptcompat package instead.

The z3c.form.ptcompat module was removed for the z3c.form 2.5.0 release in October 2011.

When using z3c.ptcompat, replace your import with:

zope.browserpage.viewpagetemplatefile import ViewPageTemplateFile
widget.template = ViewPageTemplateFile("templates/minmax.pt")
