If you’re working with Buildout, then check out mr.scripty, a fantastic Buildout recipe that allows you to use Python code in functions within its options. This means that - in the few instances I’ve used it so far - have conditional statements regarding effectively anything.
In the two examples I added to the source documentation, I go and configure download links based upon architecture and separately, configure some (Java) environment variables based upon which directories exist (eg to handle different Linux distributions that might be running). This is only the start, but it’s a fantastic one.
Amazing I hadn’t gone looking for this earlier. Anyone know of any other Buildout awesomeness out there?
