I'm trying to use buildout to pull in 4 github repositories and combine their wsgi applications together using paste's urlmap.  A few things aren't working the way I expect and so I'm looking for some more information:

This is my buildout.cfg:

https://github.com/sontek/notaliens.com/blob/master/buildout.cfg

1. I had to declare a [pyramid] section that pulls in Pyramid with the zc.recipe.egg recipe so that it would drop the entry_point scripts in the generated bin/ folder.   Is there a way for it to do this from dependencies declared in my install_requires in setup.py rather than being declared in the buildout?

AFAIK, and assuming I understand your question, no. The recipes (or extensions) do all the work.

2. The 2nd problem is after I run buildout, I'm not able to import paste.deploy:

I see the egg in my sys.path:

bin/py

>>> import sys

>>> sys.path

<cut>

 '/home/sontek/code/test_notaliens/notaliens.com/eggs/PasteDeploy-1.5.0-py2.7.egg',

but if I try to import from it:

>>> from paste.deploy import loadserver

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: No module named deploy

PasteDeploy is defined as a dependency and gets pulled in properly but for some reason the interpreter isn't seeing it.

any ideas?

Remove .installed.cfg and try again, works for me with this buildout:  https://gist.github.com/aclark4life/5281288
