Buildout is a "system for managing development buildouts", according to its home page. While often identified as a Zope project, and indeed licensed under the ZPL by Zope creator Jim Fulton, buildout is useful for configurations beyond Zope, and even, in rare cases, a few that have nothing to do with Python.
