No. They do technically allow limited ranges, but the primary purpose
is to set/pin/nail specific versions. Fred did a good job of
explaining this.

Why do you ask?

If you run buildout in verbose mode (-v), it will will give an
indication of why it's trying to get a particular requirement. Note
that requirements can come from a variety of places, including
setup.py, the versions section, and requirements stated in egg and
similar parts.
