In using buildout, I've come across a couple of limitations and I'm wondering if there are workarounds. Suppose I have something like: [FreeTDS_installation] recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi url = blah odbcinst_ini = [FreeTDS] Driver = ${FreeTDS_installation:location}/lib/libtdsodbc.so 1) Since the variable expansion is referring to an attribute of its own .cfg section, is there a way to omit the section name? Something like (but this doesn't work): Driver = ${location}/lib/libtdsodbc.so It just seems extra work to keep putting my own section name in, and is dangerous if I cut/paste lines to move about. 2) The initial case above fails to parse because at the time the ${} expression is reached during read-in time, the part section has not yet been added to the global registry of part sections. Hence I get a "FreeTDS_installation" undefined error. It just seems there ought to be a way for a part section to refer to its own location attribute. Thanks for any tips, -Jeff
