Hi

I'm currently switching to zc.buildout 1.5. I've been looking at
having a Python environment that is fully isolated from the main,
system-wide Python environment.

Can you confirm that zc.buildout 1.5 supports that?

Does this imply working with a "System Python"?

The term "System Python" confuses me a bit, as what I want is an
environment that is isolated from the system-wide Python environment?
So could someone please explain what a "System Python" refers to
exactly?

Also, the doc says: "Using a system Python is inherently fragile.
Using a clean, freshly-installed Python without customization in
site-packages is more robust and repeatable". Does this mean using a
"System Python" isn't recommended for production? And how can use a
"clean, freshly-installed Python"? What's a "clean, freshly-installed
Python" anyway?

Again, what I'm after is a Python environment that is fully isolated
from the system-wide Python, just like virtualenv --no-site-packages
provides?

Thanks for any answer,

--
