I'm also getting an error:

While:
   Installing.
   Getting section lxml.
   Initializing section lxml.
   Installing recipe z3c.recipe.staticlxml >= 0.6.

An internal error occured due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'project_name'


I put a try/except in there and 'str' in this case is the string "The 
'zc.recipe.cmmi' distribution was not found on this system, and is 
required by this application.".

The staticlxml recipe uses zc.recipe.cmmi.


The path to zc.buildout that's in the traceback isn't correct either: it 
is simply a shared egg, definitively not something in a temp folder :-)


Weird... Well, I'm off cycling. I'll dig around a bit in zc.recipe.cmmi 
to see if it perhaps uses the basically one line in zc.buildout that 
changed with 1.4.3.

Another option: does it have to do with distribute 0.6.9 that was just 
released? I pinned zc.buildout to 1.4.3 to allow it to update distribute 
from 0.6.8 to 0.6.9 (that was what the buildout fix was for, otherwise 
you'd get an infinite recursion).
