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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
