Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Egg

✓ from zc.recipe.egg import Egg

✗ import Egg

Egg is not a top-level module; must import from zc.recipe.egg

Develop

✓ from zc.recipe.egg import Develop

✗ from zc.recipe import egg

Develop is not directly importable via 'zc.recipe.egg' submodule; use explicit import

Quick import of Egg recipe class. Actual usage is via zc.buildout configuration files, not direct Python calls.

from zc.recipe.egg import Egg # Typically used within a buildout configuration, not standalone # Example: eggs = ['somepackage'] in a buildout.cfg recipe section

Debug

Known issues

breakingPython 2 support removed in version 2.0.0 (2017). All users must upgrade to Python 3.

fix

Ensure Python >=3.9 is used for version 4.0.0

affects: >=2.0.0

deprecatedSetuptools integration changed; 'extra-paths' and 'include-dirs' options may not work as expected in newer setuptools versions.

fix

Use 'zc.recipe.egg' with modern buildout and setuptools; consider using pip-based recipes instead.

affects: >=4.0.0

gotchaThe recipe is not intended to be used directly via import; it's designed to be invoked by buildout. Importing and calling Egg() manually may lead to unexpected behavior.

fix

Use zc.recipe.egg only within a zc.buildout configuration file.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: No module named zc.recipe.egg

The package is not installed or installed in the wrong environment.

fix

Run 'pip install zc.recipe.egg' in the target Python environment.

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Attempting to call zc.recipe.egg directly (e.g., zc.recipe.egg(...)) instead of using the class.

fix

Use 'from zc.recipe.egg import Egg' and then instantiate Egg(...).
