Hello.
I've written a Buildout recipe which relies on a function defined in a
package whose name is set in the recipe's options. That package must
have already been installed.
According to the documentation, I should use
zc.buildout.easy_install:install() like this:
install(["mydistribution"], None)
But if I use None, I get an exception because Buildout tries to use
.startswith() with None. Then, if instead of None, I use
buildout['buildout']['directory'], it tries to install the distribution
pulling all its dependencies (ignoring the fact I set a download cache
in ~/.buildout/default.cfg).
I just want to make a package available in sys.path. How should I do
that from a Buildout recipe?
Note I really just want to add it sys.path, not get the actual
function/module, because it's going to be used by a function called from
my recipe, not by my recipe.
The following code illustrates how the recipe will look like:
====
class MyRecipe(object):
def __init__(self, buildout, name, options):
self.the_package = options['package']
def install(self):
add_to_sys_path(self.the_package)
do_something_useful(self.the_package)
return ()
====
I'm using zc.buildout 1.4.3.
Thanks in advance.
