[Distutils] [buildout] weird behaviour of first buildout on windows...

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

Looks like something weird is happening:

C:\aproject\trunk>python bootstrap.py
<snip>
C:\aproject\trunk>bin\buildout.exe
Getting distribution for 'zc.buildout'.
Getting distribution for 'setuptools'.
Got setuptools 0.6c8.
Got zc.buildout 1.1.1.

C:\aproject\trunk>Upgraded:
   zc.buildout version 1.1.1,
   setuptools version 0.6c8;
restarting.

At this point here, it looks like buildout is running in some kind of 
backgrounded process, which means that:

- if I hit enter while it's still progressing, I get things like:

"""
Getting distribution for 'zope.testing'.

C:\aproject\trunk>
C:\aproject\trunk>
C:\aproject\trunk>Got zope.testing 3.6.0.
bin\                   bin\buildout.exeGetting distribution for 
'zope.interface'
.                                                               Got 
zope.interfa
"""

- I don't know when buildout is finished because the command prompt was 
echoed way back in the middle of things.

NB: This only appears to happen the first time setuptools and buildout 
are installed. Further run of bin\buildout don't exhibit this behaviour.

cheers,

Chris
