Pyfacebook from assembly

Question

What is the best way to install the latest version of pyfacebook using buildout? The package is hosted on github and is not located on pypi. This system does not have git installed, so a git-based recipe is unfortunately not an option. The github url is http://github.com/sciyoshi/pyfacebook . TIA!

Answer 1

You can add any python package hosted on git-hub by adding a search link URL pointing to the project url as well as a postfix #egg=packagename. For pyfacebook:

http://github.com/sciyoshi/pyfacebook/tarball/master#egg=pyfacebook

Thus, a simple layout would be:

[buildout]
parts = whatever
find-links =
    http://github.com/sciyoshi/pyfacebook/tarball/master#egg=pyfacebook
eggs = pyfacebook
