I'll take you up on it.) For clarity and speed, I resort to copy and paste below this message for my answer. The sum is, it works if you spell it the expected way. Since the discussion has arisen, I also ran tests. Note that, to run all tests, you continue to need to run with something like. env PYTHON2.4=/path/to/clean/Python2.4 bin/test Note also that there is a preexisting race-condition bug of some sort--a file does not get deleted sometimes, at least in some operating systems--that I did not address. When it bites in a doctest, it pollutes the rest of the output of that doctest. In any case, here are the test results I saw. With setuptools (that is, when dev,py is not started with -d), in a fresh checkout, there is a single failure to one test (zc.buildout.tests.handle_sys_path_version_hack). That passes in an existing local branch I have, so the failure is a surprise to me, but hopefully that will be trivial to fix. With distribute, it looks like distribute has changed since I ran the tests with it last. I keep seeing new instances of messages like "install_dir /sample-buildout/develop-eggs/tmpXNNXoGbuild". This is causing a lot of trivial test failures that I can squelch with a regex or something. Other than that, it looks fine on a quick glance. Gary [In this example, 26python is a clean Python. While buildout now supports a system Python, I did not make that effort for buildout's development itself.] $ svn co svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.buildout/branches/gary-betafix/ ...
