Does someone know a way to get numpy eggs prepend to the paths so

matplotlib is problematic for buildout due to the introspection it
does. I haven't found a good solution. What I've done in the past is
to make a not-so-clean Python (or virtualenv) that has numpy installed
and then use buildout with that to install matplotlib.
I've also installed numpy globally ("apt-get install ....."). I'm
currently experimenting with a recipe that first looks up several named
eggs globally. Only if they're not available yet, does it install them
regularly through buildout. So something like:
[buildout]
...
parts =
sysegg
...
[sysegg]
recipe = osc.recipe.sysegg
force-sysegg =
eggs =
numpy
It seems to work quite well. I'm hoping it helps me with the packages
that install just fine on linux and not on windows or vice versa. You
only have to install global versions of just the once that fail, that way.
