The question for me is: Does zc.buildout support this method. To clearify: We are developing projects that are widely based on Zope3 (http://www.zope.org). The zope corporation developed a concept named buildout to install .eggs locally in a project directory, which is interesting for users who don't have permission to write into the system's site-packages. This way, also different versions of python packages may coexist peacefully, since buildouts don't know the environment of their neighbors.

I will check, if the buildout.cfg supports checking out and building eggs from sf.net, but nevertheless, building on e.g. OS X is a bit tricky, since it lacks the appropriate openldap-2.3 and sasl headers, not even to speak of Win32...

And uploading to PyPI is as easy as:

# python setup.py register bdist_egg upload

Regards,
Torsten
