- Buildout can be safely used with a system Python. Note that Python is
always used, by default, with -S: that is, site-packages are not
included. If you would like to have access to your site-packages, see
the next bullet point.

Python's site-packages has the same exact version as specified in your
buildout configuration, buildout will still use its own copy.
- Added new function to generate scripts and interpreter. It produces
a full-featured interpreter (all command-line options supported) and the
ability to safely let scripts include site packages (see
z3c.recipe.scripts). In this case a functioning site.py also is available
(and namespace packages are handled somewhat more efficiently than standard
pkg_resources usage).
- Added new function, ``zc.buildout.easy_install.generate_scripts``, to
generate scripts and interpreter. It produces a full-featured
interpreter (all command-line options supported) and the ability to
safely let scripts include site packages. A safe and functional
site.py also is available, which will make it safer for use with a
system Python than the pre-existing buildout function
(``zc.buildout.easy_install.scripts``) and recipe (``zc.recipe.egg``).
End users should see z3c.recipe.scripts, which provides this
functionality within buildout configuration files.
The older function (``zc.buildout.easy_install.scripts``) and recipe
(``zc.recipe.egg``) still survive, because of their comparative attractive
simplicity, because they still work well when a non-system Python is used,
and because they can often be used well with a system Python.
- Improve bootstrap.
