For Python packages which are only installable with distutils, and aren't yet avaiable as eggs. This recipe will download a distutils tarball, build it and place it inside your buildout inside a parts/site-packages directory.

It is up to you to inform your Python about this site-packages directory. You might do this with the zc.recipe.egg recipe:

[buildout]

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 12)

Inconsistent literal block quoting.

parts = mypython

[mypython] recipe = zc.recipe.egg eggs = zc.recipe.egg extra-paths = ${buildout:directory}/parts/site-packages/ interpreter = mypython scripts = mypython

Options

url The URL of the archives to download and install. The archive specified will be installed inside a site-packages directory.

build_ext Additional build options passed to setup.py.

To-Do

Currently only enough work has been done on this recipe to get it to install mx-base and psycopg2. There is lots of room for improvement ...

Example Usage

A sample buildout.cfg that installs mx-base and psycopg2 inside the site-packages directory. It also installs PostgreSQL for building psycopg2, adjusting the build_ext for psycopg2 to point to an existing PostgreSQL install would remove the need for this:

[buildout] parts = egenix-mx-base mypython postgresql psycopg2

[egenix-mx-base] recipe = collective.recipe.distutils url = http://downloads.egenix.com/python/egenix-mx-base-3.0.0.zip

[mypython] recipe = zc.recipe.egg eggs = zc.recipe.egg extra-paths = ${buildout:directory}/parts/site-packages/ interpreter = mypython scripts = mypython

[postgresql] recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi url = http://www.bcgsc.ca/downloads/parts/software/resources/src/postgresql/postgresql-8.1.9.tar.gz

[psycopg2] recipe = collective.recipe.distutils url = http://www.bcgsc.ca/downloads/parts/software/resources/src/psycopg2/psycopg2-2.0.6.tar.gz build_ext = --pg-config=${buildout:directory}/parts/postgresql/bin/pg_config --rpath=${buildout:directory}/parts/postgresql/lib
