How to use iw.recipe.fetcher ?

We need some buildout vars:

>>> data_dir = join(test_dir, 'data')
>>> parts_dir = join(data_dir, 'parts')
>>> buildout = {'instance': {'location': test_dir},
...             'buildout': {'directory': test_dir,
...             'install-from-cache': 'false',
...             'download-cache':'false',
...             'parts-directory': parts_dir}}
>>> name = 'utilities'

Now we can fetch some urls:

>>> options = {
...   'urls':'http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/MinGW-5.1.3.exe'}
>>> from iw.recipe.fetcher import Recipe
>>> recipe = Recipe(buildout, name, options)
>>> recipe.install()

It works:

>>> ls(os.path.join(parts_dir, name))
MinGW-...exe
