[Distutils] Buildout 1.6.0

[Chris Lambacher]

Hi Alex,

I am suspicious of the _safe_arg being used on that line. It adds quotes
around each argument but you are not passing the shell=True arg to
subprocess.check_call so nothing is processing those quotes effectively
setting the executable to "C:\\python27\python.exe" including the quotes.
That would be consistent with the error you are getting.

I haven't been able to figure out how to use the tests/get it to pick up
the version out of my checked out source tree so I am having difficulty in
verifying my theory. I tried asking on #buildout but did not get any
response.
