zc buildout recipe to reuse eggs from python site-packages.
Project description
This buildout recipe allows you to reuse system wide eggs in your buildout. If SysEggs finds the requested eggs in you pythons site-packages directory (or PYTHONPATH) it will create a .egg-link to it. Other packages that require these eggs will not fetch them.
Example
If you have an application that depends on the python image library (PIL) and you want to use the library that is already installed (e.g. with apt-get on Debian), you can use a buildout.cfg like this:
[buildout]
parts =
syseggs
otherpart
[syseggs]
recipe = osc.recipe.syseggs
eggs = PIL
[otherpart]
recipe = zs.recipe.egg
egg = egg_that_depends_on_PIL
You should list sysegg before all other parts.
