I'm on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit with a fresh install of Plone 4.3.1 using the installer Plone-4.3.1-win64.exe.
Plone and Zope run great. I am also able to install eggs like plone.app.relationfield by appending the package name to buildout.cfg. However when I try to install the developer tools using:
bin\buildout -c develop.cfg
I get the following output:
Unused options for buildout: 'buildout-user' 'need-sudo'.

I am mainly trying to install zopeskel and the zopeskel.dexterity templates which also fail the same way if I comment out zopeskel.diazotheme. In fact, I can get everything to install except zopeskel.diazotheme and zopeskel.dexterity if I comment them out. The above RestrictedPython syntax errors remain but don't seem to affect anything.
This is all out-of-the-box configuration stuff. I've been searching and trying everything I can think of including reinstallation. I've worked with Plone of and on for years but I'm out of ideas on this one.
Any help is appreciated.
I finally solved this issue but I still don't know what the exact problem is. It has something to do with easy_install and directory access - possibly to temp directories and possibly because of some kind of race condition that happens during the buildout process.
The summary of the solution is to install everything in the stock develop.cfg file EXCEPT for zopeskel.diazotheme and zopeskel.dexterity. There is also a bug with the distribution of DocFinderTab buildout tries to download. it's an empty zip file.
This approach was followed on both the Windows 7 64-bit configuration mentioned in the question as well as a Windows XP SP3 32-bit machine. In both cases, the Plone 4.3.1 windows installer was used as per the latest Plone website recommendation of May 20, 2014. There is no windows installer for the latest Plone 4.3.3 so the path is to use the 4.3.1 isntaller and upgrade Plone after installing. I did not upgrade before installing these packages. Both Linux and/or OSX have my permission to eradicate Windows from the planet yet it persists.
Here's the steps:
Find the eggs variable around line 80 and add plone.app.relationfield to the list:
eggs = Plone Pillow Products.PloneHotfix20130618 plone.app.relationfield
Save buildout.cfg
From a command prompt in c:\Plone43 run:
bin\buildout -n
[zopeskel]
# installs paster and Zopeskel
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs =
ZopeSkel
Paste
PasteDeploy
PasteScript
# zopeskel.diazotheme
# zopeskel.dexterity
zest.releaser
${buildout:eggs}
From a command prompt in C:\Plone43, run:
bin\buildout -c develop.cfg
In a command prompt in c:\Plone43, run the following command:
bin\buildout -v setup "C:\Plone43\downloads\dist\zopeskel.dexterity-1.5.4.1\setup.py" install
Next run:
bin\buildout -v setup "C:\Plone43\downloads\dist\zopeskel.diazotheme-1.1\setup.py" install
Everything should work now.
