Sounds great! BTW, we had a very inspiring discussion on the zope3-dev  
list last summer regarding system python for *development*. Most  
people there prefer a separate python tree for each (zope) project. http://www.mail-archive.com/zope3-dev@zope.org/msg08490.html

A current Zope Components (formerly known as Zope3) based Application  
crashes with Leopard's system python because of the twisted package,  
which brings in a dated zope.interface egg (BTW, the unpacked egg as  
well).

I'm extensively using zc.buildout for my projects. And not only for  
zope development. I love to have an unpolluted reconstructible python  
environment for each project and leaving the system python untouched.

I am now thinking about setting up a buildout for Leopard's python.

Cheers,
Tobias
