The infrae recipe allows one do an svn co in parts/arbitrary_folder. Down in the hierarchy of checked out folders, there is a setup.py file. What I wanted to do is create a Python sandbox where to deploy those yet to be developed eggs. What I succeeded in doing now is install a virtualenv sandbox and build the eggs from the svn co using the sandbox Python. When I found out about the Infrae recipe I figured there should be a way to build the eggs from the source. > It would be possible to write a recipe that did both > of these things.
