I don't really understand the purpose of the complex Buildout configuration, when you can just run "pip install -r requirements.txt" in your virtualenv and list your packages in a simple text file? What do you win with Buildout?

I have the same question. So far a combination of pip + virtualenv + fabric has been more than sufficient for my deployment requirements.

Is there any inherent advantage of using buildout instead?
