Are there any good tutorial about using buildout and pip? [closed]

Question

I've been struggling all day to really understand how to use buildout and pip. Watched a bunch of videos etc., but I still have a hard time figuring out the do and don't of buildout and pip.

Any help, tutorial, book is welcome.

Answer 1

Is not the http://www.buildout.org/ and http://pip.openplans.org/ tutorials helpful? Apart from that, there are couple of tutorials on Buildout1, PIP 2 which could be helpful for you to start.

Best way to start, write a small buildout conf and using an existing recipe from PyPI and see how the package installs.
