There seem to be more than one way to install eggs into a buildout.

Way 1:

[buildout]
...
eggs = 
     eggname
     othereggname
...

Way 2:

[buildout]
...
parts = eggs

[eggs]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = eggname
     = othereggname

Both ways work. ( variation on way 2 would be to install each requirement as a separate part. )

What is the difference between these 2 methods?

For my projects, I'm using buildout with djangorecipe and mr.developer.

The problem with installing PIL using virtualenv or buildout.

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
When I install PIL using easy_install or buildout it installs in such way, that I must do 'import Image', not 'from PIL import Image'. However, if I do "apt-get install python-imaging" or use "pip -E test_pil install PIL", all work fine. Here are examples of how I trying to install PIL using virtualenv: #… >>> More
