What is the python shell used for the examples? I can follow what is
going on, but I'm not familiar with some of the functions used. For
example:
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'recipes', 'mkdir.py', ...)
Sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm stumped. Thanks.
Those write() and cat() and ls() methods are helper methods that are
provided by zc.buildout's own test setup.
(Technically: they're injected into the test's globals namespace, look
for a ``test.globs['write'] = some_write_method`` in test*.py if you
want the details)
Really handy when testing zc.buildout. But they might just be a "little
bit hidden" away in the test setup code ;-)
