I would like to use zopeproject without easy_installing zopeproject and dependencies into the system python. The steps I'm following lead to a missing egg-info directory error on the generated project.
This is an svn checkout of zopeproject, but I'd be glad to learn the recommended way to do this. I'm most accustomed to using the non-system python to run bootstrap.py. After running buildout in working copy directory: $ /software/svn/zopeproject/bin/zopeproject MyProject Enter user (Name of an initial administrator user): admin Enter passwd (Password for the initial administrator user): secret Enter eggs_dir (Location where zc.buildout will look for and place packages) ['/home/myuser/.buildout/eggs']: Creating directory ./MyProject Traceback (most recent call last): File "svn/zopeproject/bin/zopeproject", line 15, in ? zopeproject.main.zopeproject() File "/software/svn/zopeproject/zopeproject/main.py", line 4, in zopeproject create_project('zope_app') File "/software/svn/zopeproject/zopeproject/script.py", line 32, in create_project newest=options.newest) File "/software/svn/zopeproject/zopeproject/script.py", line 58, in run_paster_create return runner.run(option_args + ['-t', paste_template, project] File "/home/myuser/.buildout/eggs/PasteScript-1.3.6-py2.4.egg/paste/script/command.py", line 212, in run result = self.command() File "/home/myuser/.buildout/eggs/PasteScript-1.3.6-py2.4.egg/paste/script/create_distro.py", line 143, in command egg_info_dir = pluginlib.egg_info_dir(output_dir, dist_name) File "/home/myuser/.buildout/eggs/PasteScript-1.3.6-py2.4.egg/paste/script/pluginlib.py", line 133, in egg_info_dir raise IOError("No egg-info directory found (looked in %s)" IOError: No egg-info directory found (looked in ./MyProject/./MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/log/MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/src/MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/var/MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/deploy.ini/MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/debug.ini/MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/zope.conf/MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/site.zcml/MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/setup.py/MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/buildout.cfg/MyProject.egg-info, ./MyProject/zdaemon.conf/MyProject.egg-info) I have a non-system python installed in the usual place: $ cat /opt/python24/python.cfg [buildout] parts = python parts-directory = .
