Hi All, Looks like something weird is happening: C:\aproject\trunk>python bootstrap.py <snip> C:\aproject\trunk>bin\buildout.exe Getting distribution for 'zc.buildout'. Getting distribution for 'setuptools'. Got setuptools 0.6c8. Got zc.buildout 1.1.1. C:\aproject\trunk>Upgraded: zc.buildout version 1.1.1, setuptools version 0.6c8; restarting. At this point here, it looks like buildout is running in some kind of backgrounded process, which means that: - if I hit enter while it's still progressing, I get things like: """ Getting distribution for 'zope.testing'. C:\aproject\trunk> C:\aproject\trunk> C:\aproject\trunk>Got zope.testing 3.6.0. bin\ bin\buildout.exeGetting distribution for 'zope.interface' . Got zope.interfa """ - I don't know when buildout is finished because the command prompt was echoed way back in the middle of things. NB: This only appears to happen the first time setuptools and buildout are installed. Further run of bin\buildout don't exhibit this behaviour. cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
