collective.recipe.distutils A buildout recipe to install distutils Python packages. distutils recipe ================ For Python packages which are only installable with distutils, and aren't yet available 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] 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 = ${buildout:directory}/parts/site-packages/ interpreter = mypython scripts = mypython [postgresql] recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi url = http://example.com/postgresql-8.1.9.tar.gz [psycopg2] recipe = collective.recipe.distutils url = http://example.com/psycopg2-2.0.6.tar.gz build_ext = --pg-config=${buildout:directory}/parts/postgresql/bin/pg_config --rpath=${buildout:directory}/parts/postgresql/lib Kevin Teague 88757b91db93181e2fedd4c03184c3786f5ffbd1 0.1
