Bingo! It worked! Thanks! You made my day! :-) As you have pointed out, 
though I have a develop egg, djangorecipe needs to know that it has to 
use the egg and install it.

But now my question is if I have just a develop egg in my buildout.cfg 
with dependencies listed in setup.py and no other parts/recipes used, 
buildout will not install the dependencies right?

Thanks & Regards,
