Hi again.. :)

Recipes work find for your use case afaict.

So, I tried removing the lines which pointed at my various parts' eggs and develop options collectively in the [buildout] section, and now I get a BadStatusLine from within setuptools trying to install my dev egg.

Speaking of which, I ran into this BadStatusLine issue with some other eggs, it seems that setuptools could more gracefull deal with the situation and be more informative, but perhaps it appears simpler than it is.

If you expect any sort of response, you'll need to provide more information.

I'm a bit confused at the situation myself, am working on a simple repro case. I can get it to fail, but not to throw BadStatusLine from within urllib just yet. I wouldn't dare ask you to untangle our production buildout, so I'll continue trying to come up with a better case and question.

Whatever the cause, it seems that setuptools, or buildout, someone is not doing their job of catching exceptions from urllib. The exception seems to raise from within setuptools, but I've only seen this set of circumstances arise with buildout, so perhaps there's simply an integration issue on one side or the other.

This is annoying enough without adding the fact that this happens against develop eggs which urrllib shouldn't be invoked for, but that's related to the previous thread, which I'll respond to in context. :)
