Hi, there's my little project running on the opensuse build server. Actually it builds the latest subversion of python under the opt tree using the best practices in the field (nearly hands-off approach, integrating unit testing, repeatable etc). http://pyvm.sourceforge.net You can get an account and build the modules linking to these builds (automatically and overnight).

I'm currently trying more or less the same thing

by combining buildout with virtualenv and pip.

This doesn't seem like a sane thing to do. Sure it does. It's just not very useful in most cases. Buildout by itself works fine to isolate the python installation from the stuff installed. But if you want to also isolate the buildout from what's installed in

Unusual usecase, but sane. :) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
