I'm pretty sure zc.recipe.egg can, as it is bundled with buildout 
itself! But I *did* test out z3c.recipe.scripts and I had the same 
problem: buildout would try and build numpy from source.

And numpy for sure is installed (and osc.recipe.sysegg finds it just fine):

   $ python
   Python 2.6.6 (r266:84374, Aug 31 2010, 11:00:51)
   [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
   Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
   >>> import numpy
   >>> numpy.__file__
 
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/__init__.pyc'


And my bin/buildout is:

   $ cat bin/buildout
 
#!/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python 
-S

   import sys
   sys.path[0:0] = [
       '/private/tmp/numpytest/parts/buildout',
       ]


   import os
   path = sys.path[0]
   if os.environ.get('PYTHONPATH'):
       path = os.pathsep.join([path, os.environ['PYTHONPATH']])
   os.environ['BUILDOUT_ORIGINAL_PYTHONPATH'] = 
os.environ.get('PYTHONPATH', '')
   os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] = path
   import site # imports custom buildout-generated site.py

   import zc.buildout.buildout

   if __name__ == '__main__':
       zc.buildout.buildout.main()


And just to make sure, here's my buildout.cfg:

   [buildout]
   parts = scripts
   include-site-packages = true
   allowed-eggs-from-site-packages =
       numpy

   [scripts]
   recipe = zc.recipe.egg
   eggs =
       numpy



Anyone spot anything suspicious?
