The one think you're missing: you're not telling buildout to actually 
install/do anything!

With your buildout.cfg, buildout *does* make the develop egg including 
recaptcha client available to any part that might need it. But in this 
buildout, you don't have any parts.

As an example, look in your bin/buildout. THere's a sys.path thingy in 
there with setuptools and buildout. You'll need something else in there 
with wsb and recaptcha and so in sys.path.


Can you add "console_scripts" to your parts list and then add this part 
and try again?

[console_scripts]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
interpreter = python
eggs = ${buildout:eggs}

And then check the contents of bin/python.
