I read the output of "bin/buildout -v", where versions are shown.

otherwise you can look at the result in your buildout:

Buildout does not have an eggs section, it is probably used in another
section, with ${buildout:eggs}.

Are you installing a zope or a plone ? if so, the recipe that uses the eggs
variable here,
has probably created a script in bin/ where you will find something like:

import sys
sys.path[0:0] = [
   some eggs
]

So you can see which eggs were used, with their paths

That would be 'zopepy' or 'instance' for a typical plone buildout for
example
