[Distutils] Including third party libs with buildout

[Phil]

Hi,

I¹m having a bash at writing a buildout script for an app I¹m working on.
My app uses some third part stuff like pygtk and vlc¹s python bindings which
buildout does a great job of setting up in my dev environment.  The problem
I have is when I want to produce a final distribution  - for example, in the
config below do I make sure that the libs created by the [pygtk] and
[vlc_bindings] sections are packaged in my final deployment (using bdist the
.so files should just be in the libs/ directory and using sdist, I guess the
source should be bundled)?  Nothing I have tried seems to work (adding them
to the eggs section of [mySop] or including them in setup.py as
requirements).  I¹m sure there must be an easy way to do this ­ but it has
me stumped!

Any help greatly appreciated,

Phil.

setup.py


from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup( name='mySop',
       version='0.1',
       packages=find_packages('.'),
       include_package_data=True,
       package_data={ 'SopGui':['data/mySop.glade.xml'] },
       entry_points={ 'console_scripts' : ['mySop = MySop.main:entry_point']
},
       )
