zc.buildout Description

System for managing development buildouts The zc.buildout project provides support for creating applications, especially Python applications. It provides tools for assembling applications from multiple parts, Python or otherwise. An application may actually contain multiple programs, processes, and configuration settings.The word "buildout" refers to a description of a set of parts and the software to create and assemble them. It is often used informally to refer to an installed system based on a buildout definition. For example, if we are creating an application named "Foo", then "the Foo buildout" is the collection of configuration and application-specific software that allows an instance of the application to be created. We may refer to such an instance of the application informally as "a Foo buildout". Requirements: · Python What's New in This Release: · changed metadata 'url' to pypi.python.org in order to solve a temporary outage of buildout.org · IMPORTANT: For better backwards compatibility with the pre-1.5 line, this release has two big changes from 1.5.0 and 1.5.1. · Buildout defaults to including site packages. · Buildout loads recipes and extensions with the same constraints to site-packages that it builds eggs, instead of never allowing access to site-packages. · This means that the default configuration should better support pre-existing use of system Python in recipes or builds. · To make it easier to detect the fact that buildout has set the PYTHONPATH, BUILDOUT_ORIGINAL_PYTHONPATH is always set in the environment, even if PYTHONPATH was not originally set. BUILDOUT_ORIGINAL_PYTHONPATH will be an empty string if PYTHONPATH was not set.
