Supposing I have a develop egg that uses 'recaptcha-client' as a dependency,

My buildout.cfg will look something like:
[buildout]
extensions = mr.developer
auto-checkout = wsb
develop = src/wsb
eggs = wsb
parts =

[sources]
wsb = hg <path to repo>

and my setup.py will have 'recaptcha-client' in 'install_requires' 
field. The develop egg will need the 'recaptcha-client', but buildout 
doesn't install it with the above configuration. Have I understood 
buildout incorrectly that I am trying something that is also incorrect?

Thanks & Regards,
