1 Always unzipping eggs

     2 =====================

     3 

     4 By default, zc.buildout doesn't unzip zip-safe eggs.

     5 

     6     >>> write('buildout.cfg',

     7     ... '''

     8     ... [buildout]

     9     ... parts = eggs

    10     ... find-links = %(link_server)s

    11     ...

    12     ... [eggs]

    13     ... recipe = zc.recipe.egg

    14     ... eggs = demo

    15     ... ''' % globals())

    16 

    17     >>> _ = system(buildout)

    18     >>> ls('eggs')

    19     -  demo-0.4c1-py2.4.egg

    20     -  demoneeded-1.2c1-py2.4.egg

    21     d  setuptools-0.6c8-py2.4.egg

    22     -  zc.buildout.egg-link

    23 

    24 This follows the policy followed by setuptools itself.  Experience shows

    25 this policy to to be inconvenient.  Zipped eggs make debugging more

    26 difficult and often import more slowly.

    27 

    28 You can include an unzip option in the buildout section to change the

    29 default unzipping policy.

    30 

    31     >>> write('buildout.cfg',

    32     ... '''

    33     ... [buildout]

    34     ... parts = eggs

    35     ... find-links = %(link_server)s

    36     ... unzip = true

    37     ...

    38     ... [eggs]

    39     ... recipe = zc.recipe.egg

    40     ... eggs = demo

    41     ... ''' % globals())

    42 

    43 

    44     >>> import os

    45     >>> for name in os.listdir('eggs'):

    46     ...     if name.startswith('demo'):

    47     ...         remove('eggs', name)

    48 

    49     >>> _ = system(buildout)

    50     >>> ls('eggs')

    51     d  demo-0.4c1-py2.4.egg

    52     d  demoneeded-1.2c1-py2.4.egg

    53     d  setuptools-0.6c8-py2.4.egg

    54     -  zc.buildout.egg-link
