buildout v2.7.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-01-30 // over 7 years ago
    • ➕ Added a buildout option, abi-tag-eggs that, when true, causes the ABI tag <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0425/#abi-tag>_ for the buildout environment to be added to the eggs directory name.

    This is useful when switching Python implementations (e.g. CPython vs PyPI or debug builds vs regular builds), especially when environment differences aren't reflected in egg names. It also has the side benefit of making eggs directories smaller, because eggs for different Python versions are in different directories.
