I added a feature to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.recipe.staticlxml last week that skips the expensive compilation step if there's already an lxml egg. I could do that by using a couple of assumptions that were build into the recipe. So if you need the shared build directory just for lxml, this could save you some work. The recipe uses zc.recipe.cmmi, though, if I remember correctly. So your approach could fix it at the source instead of my one-recipe-only solution :-) Reinout -- Reinout van Rees - [email protected] - http://reinout.vanrees.org Software developer at http://www.thehealthagency.com "Military engineers build missiles.
