I've been struggling all day to really understand how to use buildout and pip. Watched a bunch of videos etc., but I still have a hard time figuring out the do and don't of buildout and pip.

Any help, tutorial, book is welcome.

Is not the http://www.buildout.org/ and http://pip.openplans.org/ tutorials helpful? Apart from that, there are couple of tutorials on Buildout1, PIP 2 which could be helpful for you to start.

Best way to start, write a small buildout conf and using an existing recipe from PyPI and see how the package installs.

  • thanks for the links. Spent the whole day googling around. Very helpful. – Martin Jan 26 '11 at 05:06

    The actual buildout tutorial isn't a tutorial at all. It's a slightly more elaborate version of the handout to a presentation. It actually reads much like a transcript rather than a step-by-step explanation. – Alan Plum May 05 '11 at 08:11

    it looks like http://buildout.org is out of date, or at least the doc is about zc.buildout 1.2. am I mistaken? – Erik Kaplun Dec 20 '12 at 01:30
  • @ErikAllik - Possibly. This was answered last year. – Senthil Kumaran Dec 20 '12 at 23:15
