The nice thing about the python buildout should be that you do not need all those system packages, as they may get removed from the distribution (Ubuntu) or they may not work properly (python on Max Os X Snow Leopard). So the python buildout compiles python, libjpeg, zlib and PIL itself. And it works, but it forgets where it has put the library. :-) At least, that is what I now see on Ubuntu 10.04 (in a VirtualBox); works fine on Mac. The Universal Installer for Plone basically does the same thing as far as I see: it compiles its own python, libjpeg, zlib, PIL. And it looks like this is working fine in Ubuntu 10.04 still. So I think the python buildout can learn something from the universal installer. -- Maurits van Rees Programmer, Zest Software _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/product-developers
