Installing most third-party products without a buildout is a P.I.T.A
nowadays - they're all eggified now.

On the other hand, using buildout makes everything much simpler even
compared to "unpack it into Products folder" approach.

To move from dev to production you do:

svn co svn://my.svn.server/thecoolsite/trunk/buildout
cd buildout
python2.4 bootstrap.py
bin/buildout -c production.cfg
bin/instance start

and that should be it. Transferring any updates from your dev machine to
production is as simple as

(...you may or may not want to do "bin/instance stop" here)
svn up
bin/buildout -c production.cfg
bin/instance restart
