zc.buildout on MS-Windows
*************************

Certain aspects of every software project are dependent on the
operating system used. The same - of course - applies to zc.buildout.

To test that Windows doesn't get in the way, we'll test some system
dependent aspects. The following recipe will create a read-only file
which shutil.rmtree can't delete.

>>> mkdir('recipe')
>>> write('recipe', 'recipe.py',
... '''
... import os
... import sys
... print_ = lambda *a: sys.stdout.write(' '.join(map(str, a))+'\\n')
... class Recipe:
...     def __init__(self, buildout, name, options):
...         self.location = os.path.join(
...              buildout['buildout']['parts-directory'],
...              name)
...
...     def install(self):
...         print_("can't remove read only files")
...         if not os.path.exists (self.location):
...             os.makedirs (self.location)
...
...         name = os.path.join (self.location, 'readonly.txt')
...         open (name, 'w').write ('this is a read only file')
...         os.chmod(name, 256)
...         return ()
...
...     update = install
... ''')

>>> write('recipe', 'setup.py',
... '''
... from setuptools import setup
... setup(name='spam', version='1', py_modules=['recipe'],
...       entry_points={'zc.buildout': ['default = recipe:Recipe']},
...       )
... ''')

>>> write('recipe', 'README', '')

>>> print_(system(buildout+' setup recipe bdist_egg')) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
Running setup script 'recipe/setup.py'.
...

and we'll configure a buildout to use it:

>>> write('buildout.cfg',
... '''
... [buildout]
... parts = foo
... find-links = %s
...
... [foo]
... recipe = spam
... ''' % join('recipe', 'dist'))

>>> print_(system(buildout), end='')
Getting distribution for 'spam'.
Got spam 1.
Installing foo.
can't remove read only files
