Isolation
=========
When developing applications, we recommended that you work with a
minimal Python environment and let buildout install needed
dependencies. If you share a Python environment with other
applications [#simple]_, you're likely to have unexpected
interactions with the other applications, through extra modules or
module version clashes.
There are a number of ways to achive isolation from other
applications:
1. Use a "clean" Python installation that doesn't contain any
non-standard modules.
2. Use a 'virtual environment
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>'_ that wraps a Python
installation in a way that hides 3rd-party modules.
3. Use the -S Python option when bootstrapping buildout. This will
bypass the normal execution of the Python site.py file, which is
what usually causes directories containing third-party modules to be
added to the Python path on most platforms [#macos]_.
If the -S option is used when bootstrapping buildout, then it will
be remembered by buildout and any scripts generated by buildout
will also use the -S option.
The first option works best in our opinion because, in addition to
isolating you from extra third-party libraries, it protects you from
other changes that a preexisting build might have, such as missing
standard libraries or non-standard Python build options.
This document tests the 3rd option.
>>> sample_buildout = tmpdir('sample')
>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> import sys
>>> print system("%s -S %s init demo" % (sys.executable, bootstrap_py)),
... # doctest: +ELLIPSIS

If we look at the scripts generated, se see that the -S option is
provided to the Python executable:
>>> cat('bin', 'buildout') # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
#!/usr/local/bin/python2.7 -S
...
>>> cat('bin', 'demo') # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
#!/usr/local/bin/python2.7 -S
...
>>> cat('bin', 'py') # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
#!/usr/local/bin/python2.7 -S
...
.. [#simple] It's worth noting that system Python builds can make
simple applications easier to build, as hard-to-build extension
modules are already installed or can be easily installed using
system packaging tools.
.. [#macos] On Mac OS X, there are some directories containing
3rd-party libraries that are added to the Python path regardless of
whether site.py is loaded. Still, even on Mac OS X, use of the -S
option prevents some 3rd-party modules from being added to the
Python path,
