buildout 2.0 - alternative installation providers
Hi Jim, Have you had any dealings with Enthought's Python Distribution: https://www.enthought.com/products/epd.php It looks like a useful tool, providing pre-compiled and compatible versions of a lot of the numeric and scientific libraries that can be a total PITA to get installed and working with each other... They also have their own installer tool, enpkg, which, from what I can tell behaves a lot like easy_install. I wonder what your thoughts are about getting buildout and EPD to play nicely with each other? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

I'll integrate with whatever the standard installation utility is. Now that's distribute/setuptools. Eventually, that will be distutils 2 (or packaging or whatever). Jim -- Jim Fulton http://www.linkedin.com/in/jimfulton
