I am developing vimpdb which I obviously want to be compatible with multiple

I was planning to write  a single buildout to build the various testrunners.

I encourage you to try it and see how it works for you, and report back.

I will.


I've done this in the past, but:

- It was awkward for other developers who didn't have the same versions of
   Python installed and who didn't generally have the mind set to try to
   actively develop against multiple versions simultaneously.

- The fact that the recipes all run in the buildout process, and thus
   with whatever version of buildout was used, led to odd errors. For
   example the zc.testrunner recipe had (maybe still has) trouble
   generating test scripts for target Python versions different than what
   it was run with. (It didn't always have this problem.)

Thanks for that information


Jim
