Re: How does buildout determine paths needed? (for django-page-cms)

Not buildout specific, but, if I recall correctly, the pages egg
(among others) is not
built in such a way that the media files get included (in setup.py the
function that
goes and discovers the .py files to install only does .py files, other
files must be
added more painfully, and a lot of package maintainers don't do it, and may not
know, because they typically do a VCS checkout or install from a tar,
rather than
from the egg). Last time I installed pages, after using pip install,
I had to get the
tar and unpack it to get the media files. I don't recall if that
involved templates, or
just css, images, and js, but I wouldn't be surprised. The pages templates are
examples, IIRC, and you make your own to stick in
project_root/templates/pages/ .
