Indeed. Sounds great. However, what do you do if the system installed libraries are the wrong very (eg: the buildout specifies a particular version, and the one in site-packages isn't it)?

Using a whitelist in your .cfg,

What does this mean/do/look like?

some or all of the eggs in site-packages are simply ignored when buildout assembles dependencies (even if they are or claim to be the right versions); and then the eggs that buildout chooses have precedence over site-packages (they come before site-packages in sys.path).

Okay, but what if I don't know (or more accurately: don't want to have to care ;-) ) what's in site-packages? What happens if there's no whitelist and either buildout can't figure out what version of the package is installed or it's the wrong version?
