I am trying to build a control panel following a tutorial on the Plone Documentation site. http://docs.plone.org/develop/plone/functionality/controlpanel.html
However, I started off creating the product with (from the src folder) ../bin/zopeskel plone my.product, instead of creating with the dexterity option. I did select the easy option when it asked what mode I wanted and I did select yes when it asked if I wanted to create a GS Profile.
I made sure to include grok in configure.zcml
<include package="five.grok" />
After following the instructions, I try to run the quickinstall to install the product, but it gives me the error:
ImportError: No module named directives
referring to the line in the settings.py file of their tutorial
from plone.directives import form
I added plone.app.registry to the install_requires bit in the setup.py file, and I made sure to make the changes in the configure.zcml file to include Just for experimenting, I did add 'plone.app.dexterity' to the install_requires, but I still got the same error.
Is grok conflicting with plone.directives? If so, how can I fix this or do I have to use deterity instead of plone as the option for creating products? If grok is not conflicting, what could the problem be?
On a side note, the tutorial does appear to be for using dexterity to create the product, but I am not sure if that is what the problem is.
I created a gist with a howto that I wrote for plone.org some time ago:

This is considered best practice these days. Using grok is not recommended any longer.
