title: How can I install my project from source with Buildout?
body: <p>I want to use <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout" rel="noreferrer">Buildout</a> to install my <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute" rel="noreferrer">Distribute</a>-based project and its dependencies to an isolated environment. My project should be installed directly from the source tree (a local Git repository), and is not registered with PyPI. How do I accomplish this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks to M. Pieters I was able to suss out what to do. I'm posting my <code>buildout.cfg</code> for reference:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[buildout]
  develop = .
  parts = fbt
  
  [fbt]
  recipe = z3c.recipe.scripts
  eggs = BuildTools
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Although I didn't need it right now, knowledge of <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mr.developer" rel="noreferrer">mr.developer</a> could definitely come in handy in the future.</p>
