Installing Plone with just pip (without buildout)

Development Roadmap and Future
13

Let's not let this block 5.2. To make this officially supported requires possibly a sprint worth of work:

  • pip branch of z3c.autoinclude should be released somehow
  • use includeDependencies-directive in Plone should probably be deprecated and it should be removed from the few remaining core packages using it; currently pip installed Plone only starts when that directive is disabled by special environment variable
  • full path for site.zcml should be configurable in zope.conf (now Zope2 loads it from instancehome/etc)
  • scripts generated by plone.recipe.zope2instance and plone.recipe.zeoserver need a new home (now they are in my branch of plonecli)
  • we need tool for generating site.zcml and zope.conf (e.g. templates bundled with plonecli)
