Yes, mine too. But I started the thread talking about scripts *installed* by bin/buildout, not about itself If instead the question was actually "what injects in the scripts' list of required distributions the system packages global directory". > The only way I know to get buildout to search the system for packages > (instead of grabbing them themselves) is to use a special recipe like > https://pypi.python.org/pypi/syseggrecipe > > What am I missing? Uhm, never used syseggrecipe actually, only zc.recipe.egg. I wonder if the two should be merged: could it be possible for zc.recipe.egg grow a new "filter-out-these-paths", and maybe a "prepend-these-paths" options for a better control of the generated scripts "sys.path"? ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia.
