Build configuration variables

Question

I would like to know which variables are available when using zc.buildout. I can always look at the source, but ideally I will find a list somewhere or I can query buildout to find out what it considers to be variables available at any given time. Is it possible?

Answer 1

I found from docs that

bin/buildout annotate

was what i was looking for.

Answer 2

This is not a pretty list, but you can see .installed.cfg in your build directory.

For each part, he shows what options he knows. (For some reason, several parts are often shown several times).
