FWIW, I don't believe Jacob recommends zc.buildout any longer. virtualenv + pip is easier and more Pythonic instead of Zope-like.

- metamemetics 16y agoHe uses Buildout in conjunction with Fabric as recently as http://github.com/jacobian/django-deployment-workshop http://github.com/jacobian/django-deployment-workshop also linked on this page. I think a fair assessment is that buildout is much more powerful but also more complicated than using pip alone. It greatly reduces boilerplate for spinning up new sites for me now, but I could also see myself switching to creating some snapshots of pip only skeleton projects in the future.
