This setting apparently causes problems for people who use Emacs, so for zope. and zc. packages at least, we don't use --auto-color.
I've been using this under Emacs for a while, and haven't experienced any tool-related problems with colorization.
I *have* generally objected to adding settings like this in buildout.cfg: some of us (including myself!) think it makes the output harder to read.
Good point (I really like colorized output, but typeing -c has become reflex at this point, so it doesn't bother me).
The only "right" way to deal with this seems to be to either:
- require users wanting color to ask for it from the command line, or
- add configuration support, so this can be set per-user, rather than polluting buildout.cfg for everyone.
