Both of these sections generate a bin/bank2ledger script.

Yup.

So listing entries under eggs not only adds those eggs to the python path, it also installs any associated scripts. That wasn't clear to me when I read the zc.recipe.egg documentation the first time.

This is an error, and one that buildout should likely complain about.

I don't consider it an error. I often override a script generated by another part.

I can see benefit in buildout saying something about this situation.

You need to arrange for one of them to have a different name. zc.recipe.egg may have a way to support that, check the docs and let us know what you find.

Yup.  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.recipe.egg#controlling-script-generation

Ah, when I add scripts = pylint to the second part it only generates that script. Thanks, I have it working now :) Cheers, -Olaf
