What is a custom egg-info writer? and why do you want one? > I specify the egg-info writer package as a setup_requires > package in setup.py. setuptools provided so many options like this. I really like setuptools, but worry that it's complexity will slow it's acceptance and slow the benefit from the essential simplicity of eggs. > Of course, that doesn't trigger zc.buildout (er, > setuptools) to install that egg when I run buildout. I wonder why. zc.buildout is just running the develop setup command.

No. I plan to write a develop recipe, and am hoping to get to that this weekend. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
