Using facts
This example uses the missingbits echo recipe to print information about the current machine:
[buildout]
parts = echo
[facts]
recipe = isotoma.recipe.facts
[echo]
recipe = missingbits:echo
echo =
The hostname is ${facts:hostname}
The fdqn is ${facts:fdqn}
The main IP address is ${facts:interface.eth0.address}
The VCS type is ${facts:vcs.type} and branch is ${facts:vcs.branch}
The user is ${facts:user.name} and their home dir is ${facts:user.home}
