FWIW, tests passed for me on Ubuntu (Lucid) and Windows when I made a release, with Distribute and Setuptools, with a variety of Python versions. >> >> Does anyone care about having a buildbot for buildout and fixing those >> failures? > > Obviously, I want the tests to pass.

I contemplated trying to make it possible to develop buildout with a system Python, but that needs zc.recipe.testrunner upgraded to the new approach of generating scripts, maybe among other changes. And the initial setup necessary is to call dev.py, if that makes a difference. And there are some pre-existing tests that fail intermittently on Linux. I didn't address these.
