Well I mainly wanted to set up environment using virtualenv+pip and it worked pretty well. However there were a lot of steps involved and I wanted to automated the process. So I just get the virtualenv + pip recipe and voilà ! Nothing overcomplicated, and a fallback to manually install everything is always possible (indeed with the recipe, it's very simple, and they are just a mean to automatically call virtualenv or pip). I thought that buildout was designed for just that, am I wrong ? _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
