Buildout is a project designed to solve 2 problems:

1. Application-centric assembly and deployment

   *Assembly* runs the gamut from stitching together libraries to

   create a running program, to production deployment configuration of

   applications, and associated systems and tools (e.g. run-control

   scripts, cron jobs, logs, service registration, etc.).

   Buildout might be confused with build tools like make or ant, but

   it is a little higher level and might invoke systems like make or

   ant to get its work done.

   Buildout might be confused with systems like puppet or chef, but it

   is more application focused.  Systems like puppet or chef might

   use buildout to get their work done.

   Buildout is also somewhat Python-centric, even though it can be

   used to assemble and deploy non-python applications.  It has some

   special features for assembling Python programs. It's scripted with

   Python, unlike, say puppet or chef, which are scripted with Ruby.

2. Repeatable assembly of programs from Python software distributions

   Buildout puts great effort toward making program assembly a highly

   repeatable process, whether in a very open-ended development mode,

   where dependency versions aren't locked down, or in a deployment

   environment where dependency versions are fully specified.  You

   should be able to check buildout into a VCS and later check it out.

   Two checkouts built at the same time in the same environment should

   always give the same result, regardless of their history.  Among

   other things, after a buildout, all dependencies should be at the

   most recent version consistent with any version specifications

   expressed in the buildout.

   Buildout supports applications consisting of multiple programs,

   with different programs in an application free to use different

   versions of Python distributions.  This is in contrast with a

   Python installation (real or virtual), where, for any given

   distribution, there can only be one installed.
