The way setuptools (and thus buildout) does namespace packages doesn't work with how Django looks for management commands. Django only looks in the first package in the namespace on the system path and ignores the rest.
Pip deals with namespace packages differently (with those .pth files I think), so I gave gp.recipe.pip a go but it raises an ImportError that pip isn't installed when it tries to install pip. Nice. But even if it did work pip doesn't support eggs which I imagine will lead to many dependencies not being installed. Then I tried collective.recipe.omelette but it doesn't support zipped eggs and so also fails with many dependencies. I can get round this by also using the regular zc.recipe.egg but then I get loads of warnings about packages being imported twice (but it all seems to kind of work). So what is the proper way to do this? Django people are saying don't use setuptools but everything seems to rely on setuptools.
