is it possible to get hold of the buildout configuration of part A from within the recipe configured for part B?

Yes. The __init__ method of a recipe can read other section options using buildout[section_name][option_name]. Note that any data read should be reflected in the reading parts options so that buildout can know if a part's configuration has changed. Jim -- Jim Fulton Zope Corporation
