I wanted to share a bit of experience I just had with use of eggs in Zope2. For a project I am working on I want to use the zope.sendmail package in a Zope2 environment managed using buildout. I added zope.sendmail to the eggs list in the buildout configuration and ran buildout. This pulled in a large part of the Zope3 packages. This produced conflicts between those packages and the ones included in Zope2 which resulted in a pretty boken instance:

easy_install has a --no-deps option. Maybe that's supported in buildout? Daniel
