I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this question so please point 
me elsewhere if it isn't.

I am using a buildout script to create an environment which uses the 
pyramid framework and substanced. I then create a pyramid project using the 
substanced scaffold. This project needs to import some code I have written 
and installed using buildout and mr developer as a develop-egg.

I can start my application using 

    $VENV/bin/pserve development.ini --reload

This runs my application but it is not working how I would expect so I want 
to debug it.

To do this I first type the command

     $VENV/bin/python setup.py develop

before I start the application . 

Unfortunately running setup.py overwrites all my scripts in the bin folder 
and downloads eggs from pypi for all the dependencies of my project (eg 
pyramid and substanced) into the site-packages folder even though they are 
already in .buildout/eggs.  This means that I no longer have my other 
develop eggs in my python path and the pyramid app will no longer work. 

I have temporarily got round this by removing the requires option in 
setup.py before I do setup.py develop.

Is there a better way? Am I missing something?

I tried specifying install-dir, script-dir and -x to not overwrite scripts 
but it wouldn't work because it said those folders were not on my 
pythonpath.

How do I get setup.py to recognise that the eggs are already installed 
somewhere else?

Thanks
