Hi Reinout, I'm afraid you're getting confused... Reinout van Rees wrote:
And based on the entry points listed here:

I'm referring to the distutils.commands entry point in the above *not* console_scripts.
Yes: "bin/buildout setup setup.py something" tells buildout to run the "something" command with the setup.py in the current directory. And that won't be sphinx' setup.py.
It doesn't need to be Sphinx's setup.py, distutils.commands, as an entry point, adds commands to disutuils (eg: bdist_egg, etc)
Secondly: such an console_scripts entry point only tells setuptools (and buildout) to install that script in the bin directory. It is not an extra setup.py command (like "sdist" and "build"). For that, you need a different entry point.
Yes, the distutils.commands entry point, which defines build_sphinx *not* sphinx_build ;-) The problem is that bin/buildout only has zc.buildout and setuptools available as eggs, so "bin/buildout setup setup.py" seems a bit limited to me :-S I found a workaround, which was to define an interpreter in my [sphinx] section and then do: bin/py setup.py build_sphinx ...but that just felt a bit wrong :-S Can anyone tell me what the *right* way is to get this to work? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
