How to use iw.recipe.fetcher ?

We need some buildout vars:

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

Now we can fetch some urls:

>>> options = {
...   'urls':'http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/MinGW-5.1.3.exe',
...   'base_url':'http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge',
...   'files':'''
...             pyodbc/pyodbc-2.0.39.win32-py2.4.zip
... '''}
>>> from iw.recipe.fetcher import Recipe
>>> recipe = Recipe(buildout, name, options)
>>> recipe.install()

It works:

>>> ls(os.path.join(test_dir, name))
MinGW-5.1.3.exe
pyodbc-2.0.39.win32-py2.4.zip
