I've been using this the last few days under python 2.7 and virtualenv 1.9.1. No problems whatsoever, apart from having to upgrade setuptools before running the buildout's bootstrap. On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 08:44:30AM -0400, Jim Fulton wrote:

Changes:

- Switch dependency from ``distribute 0.6.x`` to ``setuptools 0.7.x``.

- Handle both addition and subtraction of elements (+= and -=) on the same key in the same section. Forward-ported from buildout 1.6.

- Suppress the useless ``Link to <URL> ***BLOCKED*** by --allow-hosts`` error message being emitted by distribute / setuptools.

- Extend distutils script generation to support module docstrings and __future__ imports.

- Refactored picked versions logic to make it easier to use for plugins.

- Use ``get_win_launcher`` API to find Windows launcher (falling back to ``resource_string`` for ``cli.exe``).

- Remove ``data_files`` from ``setup.py``: it was installing ``README.txt`` in current directory during installation (merged from 1.x branch).

To try it out, copy the new bootstrap file from:

http://downloads.buildout.org/2.2.0b1/bootstrap.py

Then run the bootstrap, making sure to include the -t option:

python bootstrap.py -t

The -t option is necessary to use the non-final buildout release.

We'd like to release 2.2 final soon, so your testing is really helpful.

Special thanks to Tres Seaver for updating buildout to work with setuptools 0.7 and for reviewing and merging a number of outstanding pull requests. Of course, thanks to the folks to contributed the many other changes in this release.
