Portage.

This is what I get from IPython though:

In [1]: import zope
In [2]: zope

Out[2]: <module 'zope' (built-in)>
In [3]: import zope.interface

In [4]: zope.interface
Out[4]: <module 'zope.interface' from
'/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/zope/interface/__init__.pyc'>

aatiis at aiur ~ $ ls /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zope*
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zope.interface-3.6.1-py2.7-nspkg.pth

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zope:
interface

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zope.interface-3.6.1-py2.7.egg-info:
PKG-INFO  SOURCES.txt  dependency_links.txt  namespace_packages.txt
not-zip-safe  requires.txt  top_level.txt

Nope, I see something like "Egg from site-packages: zope.interface"

I guess Gentoo installs a valid egg using portage, and buildout can
recognize it.
