Prerequisites
PyCharm recognizes buildout support in existing projects. However, you have to perform the following general steps as prerequisites (outside of PyCharm):
Add buildout.cfg and setup.py files to the root directory of your project.
Check out bootstrap.py and place it to the root directory of your project.
Execute bootstrap.py to create the
buildoutdirectory structure, download buildout.exe, and the other dependencies.Execute bin\buildout.exe script. This will download the dependencies and generate a runner script for each of the parts listed in buildout.cfg.
