[buildout] where does the demo egg come from in tests?
Hi All, I'm reading http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.recipe.egg#script-generation with a hope to finding out how to write an egg such that I can have mroe own scripts generated and called. I think having a read of the demo egg used in these tests would solve my problems, but where does it live? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

If I have followed the code trail correctly: - zc/recipe/egg/tests.py has a setUp(test) function. - This calls 'zc.buildout.tests.easy_install_SetUp(test)'. - That function calls create_sample_eggs from that same tests.py file in zc.buildout. - And that method creates some eggs on the fly. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ "This is your day, don't let them take it away."

Indeed, the code is in here: http://svn.zope.org/zc.buildout/trunk/src/zc/buildout/tests.py?rev=88919&view=auto search for "def create_sample_eggs". As far as documentation goes, that's about as unhelpful and opaque as it gets :-( Why on earth is this stuff obfuscated in this way?

Thanks, but that demo egg is referred to from a lot of places. The way it's created means there's zero chance for someone trying to see how the structure of the egg relates to the docs in zc.recipe.egg... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
