I need to: - try this myself, and - work up some documentation on using this with buildout. I'll add this to my to-do list. > I found myself searching for this very thing, and couldn't find a way to > do it with zc.buildout.

I think you got lots of hints in various responses, although I'm not sure you have the setup foo to make semse of them. :) > I'm not sure I understand zc.recipe.egg and setuptools well enough to be > able to guess what may be wrong. As Ian pointed out, this doesn't seem to be a buildout thing, although I can't be sure until I try to make it work myself. > Since zc.buildout uses setuptools > though, if there is a standard setuptools way of doing this, I'd hope it > should be possible to do it in zc.buildout? I think it should be, although I'm not sure it will have the semantics you want, although I won't be sure until I try it myself. I will try to do this this week.
