Hi Jim, thanks for your reply. I need to re-thing my plan for the builout and found some ideas.

It is a script which use the API of a trytond server (www.tryton.org) to create a database and install several modules into this database. The dependencies of trytond server are installed into the mypython environment. So when I wanted to maintain trytond I need to start it within the mypython environment, for now. > > My problem is: How can I tell my_recipe to use the (newly created) > > mypython interpreter, instead of using the standard python interpreter? > You can't. > > Or as a workaround: Is there a way to install the custom interpreter > > before the buildout, maybe on bootstrap? > The custom interpreter isn't a true Python installation.

Problem is to buildout a complete deployment of trytond including a database and installation of all needed modules. The buildout has these coarse-grained stages/parts: 1. Install dependencies into mypython as eggs 2. Install trytond and all tryton-modules needed 3. Create Database/Install Modules: (my custom recipe) import trytond create_database if not exist install_modules into database 4. Debian system works (init.d-script, links to /var/log, /var/run,...) Part 3 is the problem, because for now, import trytond needs to be started in the mypython environment, because of the dependencies. I think I rewrite this part and use the xmlrpc API of trytond and start the server in a prior part with a system call to an init.d-script. Then I do the steps from 3. inside the buildout via xmlrpc. This way I do not need the mypython environment in my recipe. Thanks a lot!
