I believe you're looking for either -o, if you have the eggs already, or the aforementioned mind buildout.cfg ;-)
[2] admittedly, I could create a new empty config file, have it extend buildout.cfg,
Why extend? If you're screwing around you only want a small set of eggs...
Don't get the wrong impression; despite occasional frustrations, buildout is a good tool that does things virtualenv doesn't do, and I prefer to use buildout for all my Python packages once they stop being trivially simple. Buildout's killer feature is the shared egg cache.
Right, I just wish it didn't have to build the monster sys.path[:]= and have its own custom scripts when all you want is an interpreter ;-) Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
