Yes, I think this is going to give you problems because it doesn't know about
dist-packages, and site-packages is not on sys.path by default in the system
Python. Please try again with the Ubuntu setuptools package (which is really
distribute). It's been modified to know about dist-packages.
Note that this debian-specific behaviour also "ruins" other things:
buildout 1.5+ can detect system-wide installed eggs and use them if you
tell it to. Handy if you want to use stuff like mapnik and so with lots
of dependencies.
Only: buildout cannot detect the eggs in their non-standard locations as
buildout obviously doesn't have the ubuntu setuptools' fix...
Do you know any way around this? I'm stuck with buildouts below 1.5 for
the time being!
