I'm still not clear how widely used workingenv is? Is it "officially
endorsed" anywhere else?
It steps more lightly than buildout does.
What does that mean?
It's also mostly equivalent
in mechanism to virtual-python, which is used quite widely. Both use
setuptools conventions more closely than buildout does. It would be
nice if I could say "then you get access to all the setuptools-related
management tools", except there are almost none :( But if they *did*
exist you'd get access to them ;)
I suggest that workingenv and buildout are both such tools.
Build stuff seems surprisingly contentious. The debate around
setuptools itself has always been far more difficult than it should be;
there's a lot of stop energy. So the Python community as a whole is
moving very slowly on this stuff.
I suggest that, other than contention, this is somewhat healthy.
People with different goals will often need different tools and
make different tradeoffs.
