There's also the option of converting a built buildout into a package for deployment on production environments. I don't use it myself, but some do use zc.sourcerelease for this: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.sourcerelease/ Personally, I prefer to manage Debian repositories and mirror them into PYPI style indexes of eggs (or a set of buildout versions). Development buildouts then use the PYPI index: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/van.reposync -- Brian Sutherland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
