I'm trying to get zc.buildout to install Gunicorn from source. Using the following configuration:

[gunicorn]
recipe = collective.recipe.distutils
url = http://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/tarball/master

results in the following error:

SystemError: ('Failed', '"/usr/bin/python" setup.py -q install --install-  purelib="/mnt/hgfs/Projects/intranation/parts/site-packages" --install-platlib="/mnt/hgfs/Projects/intranation/parts/site-packages"')

Providing a --install-dir or --prefix doesn't help.

Is there a recipe for zc.buildout that downloads a tarball and installs it via easy_install or similar?
