| <longdescription lang="en">Buildout is a system for managing development buildouts. While often identified as a Zope project, |
| and indeed licensed under the ZPL by Zope creator Jim Fulton, buildout is useful for configurations |
| beyond Zope, and even, in rare cases, a few that have nothing to do with Python. |
| The Buildout project provides support for creating applications, especially Python applications. It |
| provides tools for assembling applications from multiple parts, Python or otherwise. An application |
| may actually contain multiple programs, processes, and configuration settings. |
| The word .buildout. refers to a description of a set of parts and the software to create and assemble |
| them. It is often used informally to refer to an installed system based on a buildout definition. For |
| example, if we are creating an application named .Foo., then .the Foo buildout. is the collection of |
| configuration and application-specific software that allows an instance of the application to be |
| created. We may refer to such an instance of the application informally as .a Foo buildout..</longdescription> |
