Configuration

Dependencies

Working from the sample: buildout.cfg file, to add a dependency, edit setup.py and add (for example), sqlalchemy:

install_requires=['pyephem', 'sqlalchemy'],

Source

How can I develop against another package’s source code, before it gets packaged up as an egg?

Working from the sample: buildout.cfg file:

To use the source code of a package:

Checkout the source code into the current folder e.g. sqlalchemy.
Add the dependency as normal (see Dependencies above).
Add the module name (folder) to the develop line in the buildout.cfg file:
```
[buildout]
develop = . sqlalchemy
```
Note: The . in the develop property, tells buildout to use the setup.py file in the local folder.

Version

To use a different version of python, just execute bootstrap.py with a specific version e.g:

python2.4 bootstrap.py
