Thanks for the explanation! I agree with you, it would make a lot of sense to use official APIs and not work around them. Don't know how hard that's going to be in this case, though. ;) > Still there's the case that quite some recipes need to be updated to > zc.buildout 1.5.x if they want to use its new features ("system python > support"). Ah. I didn't remember that compattest indeed does generate scripts (I thought it was delegating everything, but that's not correct of course), and I didn't understand from Jan-Jaaps email that system-python-support was a goal here, too, I only got the "some compatibility broke" part and was confused about that. > BTW, I discussed updating the z3c.recipe.i18n for similar reasons - to > support newer buildout features - in a separate thread.

Yes, I agree, that makes sense, so +1 from me here.
