Hi All,
I'd like to be able to do:
[buildout] extends=some.package:aconfig.cfg
That's an interesting idea.
...kinda like you can with templates in BFG, which I believe uses pkg_tools to do the hard work.
What're the chances of that happening?
Low, in the short term. A good first step would be to work out a somewhat detailed proposal including: - Descriptions of specific situations where this would solve a problem, with specific examples of how the proposed meachanism would be applied. - A syntax proposal. It has to address distinguishing file paths from urls from these new things. I suspect these should be expressed as URLs, e.g.: project://some.project/aconfig.cfg I'll note that I suspect you can do this now using a buildout extension that installs a new URL handler in urtllib2.
