Re: installation has NEVER worked on the first try in two years of using Pylons

Ok, so I took the time to completely walk through the steps I had
trouble with last night, and I was able to reproduce the installation
problem.  Notice that, yes, indeed, the wrong paster was in my path,
but I stepped around it by calling the full path to paster inside of
my virtualenv.

Because I am working on bootstrapping issues anyway in my day job, I
am keen to work with a couple guys on making an extremely reliable
bootstrap environment for Python, perhaps Phil and Mike?  I agree that
there should be zero assumptions other than your on OS X, Linux, or
Windows, and you have python2.4 or greater.  All the necessary
materials will be in a single file like the go-pylons.  I can start
this weekend if anyone wants to sprint on it.

There's 2 things missing from that. The Pylons install_requires asks for nose, and Tempita to be installed. According to that, nose and Tempita did not get installed. I can't reproduce this on my OSX machine, nor can I reproduce it on any of my linux machines. Rather than using virtualenv directly, can you run the go-pylons script like so: And copy the output to a pastebin so we can see if it installs Tempita and nose then?
