This merge request replaces slapos.recipe.build!15 (closed).

Rather creating a recipe or extending zc.recipe.egg, I created a macro with slapos.recipe.build as suggested by Julien.

I've put in component/macros.cfg so it can be reused.

You can use it like this :

[buildout]
extends = 
   ../../component/macros.cfg

[django-tutorial]
<= macro-virtual-env
location = ${buildout:directory}/activate
eggs = Django

This will create a script activate in the buildout bin directory. After that, all you have to do is source the script and you will have a virtual environment with Django. The script only works in POSIX and bash-like shell.

The virtual environment can be deactivated by calling deactivate.
