Hi, I'm trying buildout but I'm having a hard time trying to understand the logic of develop-egg. I tested both mr.developer recepy and gp.csvdevelop and I stumbled on the same problem, so I guess I'm misunderstanding something. I want to add a development repository named jumbo-core that contains several 1^ level packages (and a correct setup.py), one of which is 'jumbo', I get to the point that: 1. source is added to ./dev/jumbo-core 2. an egg-link is added to develop-eggs/jumbo-core.egg-link pointing to the correct path where the hg repository is checked out, but that path is not added to the sys.path. My configuration is as follows:: [buildout] develop = . parts = python scripts test ipython extensions = gp.vcsdevelop develop-dir = ./dev vcs-extend-develop = hg+${thunder:jumbonew}/jumbo-core#egg=jumbo-core [python] recipe = zc.recipe.egg interpreter = python eggs = lunar Adding 'jumbo' to eggs directive raises the error: "Couldn't find index page for 'jumbo' (maybe misspelled?)" If I add dev/jumbo-core to develop option I get the message:: Skipping 'hg+/misc/src/hg/thunder/jumbo-new/jumbo-core#egg=jumbo-core'. Package is already in the develop option but dev/jumbo-core is not added to the sys.path. Any hint is appreciated.

Hi,
I'm trying buildout but I'm having a hard time trying to understand the logic of develop-egg.
I tested both mr.developer recepy and gp.csvdevelop and I stumbled on the same problem, so I guess I'm misunderstanding something.
I want to add a development repository named jumbo-core that contains several 1^ level packages (and a correct setup.py), one of which is 'jumbo', I get to the point that:
I don't understand alot of what you said above, but hopefully, I can get by. :)
1. source is added to ./dev/jumbo-core
2. an egg-link is added to develop-eggs/jumbo-core.egg-link pointing to the correct path where the hg repository is checked out, but that path is not added to the sys.path. My configuration is as follows::
[buildout] develop = . parts = python scripts test ipython extensions = gp.vcsdevelop develop-dir = ./dev vcs-extend-develop = hg+${thunder:jumbonew}/jumbo-core#egg=jumbo-core
[python] recipe = zc.recipe.egg interpreter = python eggs = lunar
Adding 'jumbo' to eggs directive raises the error: "Couldn't find index page for 'jumbo' (maybe misspelled?)"
If I add dev/jumbo-core to develop option I get the message::
Skipping 'hg+/misc/src/hg/thunder/jumbo-new/jumbo-core#egg=jumbo-core'. Package is already in the develop option
but dev/jumbo-core is not added to the sys.path.
Any hint is appreciated.
The develop option names a (or many) setup.py file. You can also, as a common shortcut, name a directory containing setup.py file. The develop option invokes the setup.py file to create a develop egg. The setup.py file defines a product name. From the name of the egg link you mention, I'm guessing that the setup.py file in the current directory ('.') sets the project name to 'jumbo-core'. The egg recipe builds a script based on a list of requirements as listed in the eggs option. (Yeah, 'requirements' would have been a better name...) The requirements are typically just project names, although they can also contain version specifications. If, as I suspect, the project name is 'jumbo-core', rather than 'jumbo', then you need to add jumbo-core to your eggs option (on a separate line).

Thanks Jim,

this solves indeed my problem. I realize I could have understood it just looking at others egg names (e.g. python-dateutils). sandro *:-) PS: more questions in differente threads... ;-) -- Sandro Dentella *:-) http://www.reteisi.org Soluzioni libere per le scuole http://sqlkit.argolinux.org SQLkit home page - PyGTK/python/sqlalchemy
