buildout.locallib 0.1.0

Using sample

site-packages include some eggs:

$ ls /path/to/site-packages
easy-install.pth
pip-0.6.3-py2.6.egg/
pastedeploy-1.3.3-py2.6.egg/
pastescript-1.7.3-py2.6.egg/
paste-1.7.4-py2.6.egg/
setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg
setuptools.pth

write buildout.cfg:

[buildout]
parts = foo

[foo]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs =
    PasteScript

run bootstrap and buildout:

$ python bootstrap.py
$ bin/buildout -U
...

list eggs dir:

$ ls eggs
zc.recipe.egg-1.2.3b2-py2.6.egg
pastescript-1.7.3-py2.6.egg
pastedeploy-1.3.3-py2.6.egg
paste-1.7.4-py2.6.egg

(clean-up):

$ rm -R eggs

Now update buildout.cfg to use buildout.locallib extension:

[buildout]
parts = foo
extensions = buildout.locallib
...

And run buildout again:

$ bin/buildout -U
...

Check your eggs folder again:

$ ls eggs
buildout.locallib-0.0.1-py2.6.egg
zc.recipe.egg-1.2.3b2-py2.6.egg

If package exists at site-packages folder, now using installed version packages.
