How to cook Buildout correctly?

Question

Building projects

Hello Habr.

Now I'm starting a new python project (site on flask) and I want to immediately make my life easier by creating utilities for project initialization (creating a virtualenv, installing dependencies, setting up a database), running tests, creating builds. Of course, you can write bash or python scripts for this, but this approach seems like an invention of the bicycle for me, so I started looking at buildout. Now I'm reading www.buildout.org/docs/tutorial.htm , but unfortunately a quick look does not make it clear how I can solve my problems. Perhaps someone had to solve similar problems and he can share his experience on how to create the correct project structure for buildout, implement the functionality of the utilities I need above, and perhaps make it easier to understand the basics.

I have no experience with buildout itself, I had experience with msbuild.

Thanks

Habrauser Xen once made the first video tutorial on working with buildout . That was enough for me to start working
