Gaaaa. I wasn't aware of that. > That'll work just fine, as long as the new buildout > puts the magic into its top level __init__.py and has no other code > there. No, it won't. You can't count on the order that namespace packages get scanned, so you really can't have code in __init__.py if you want to count on it getting installed. This needs more thought. The new buildout could be a subpackage of the buildout namespace, although that seems awkward. Maybe it would be best to stick with zc.buildout 2.x.
