<DIV><SPAN class=653491116-21102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why the scripts
buildout produces don't use pkg_resources. They all add each egg to
sys.path manually and import script entry points manually. It would seem
more consistent to use pkg_resources.working_set.find_plugins() and
pkg_resources.working_set.run_script()</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=653491116-21102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can imagine there
might be a good reason, such as making absolutely sure the correct egg is at the
top of sys.path. This is another example of the TIMTOWTDI malaise that is
rife with anything to do with setuptools.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
