Given my distro (gentoo) doesn't yet package TurboGears (does any?), I opted to go the non-root install way, using http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#non-root-installation and the virtual-python script there to create a user-based python install, and used easy_install for the installing TG. basically: $ python virtual-python.py $ python ez_setup.py $ easy_install -D -f http://www.turbogears.org/download/index.html TurboGears All the dependencies were resolved automagically. AFAIK, this should work for any system with python 2.4 installed. I don't like installing software to to /usr without using whatever package management systems provided, as it can get messy to maintain. It also makes installing TG on my webserver, where I don't have root, very easy. HTH ps. I now use the nightly TG snapshot egg from http://www.opensource4you.com/nightly_tarballs.shtml but this requires some manual dependency tracking (for nose at least) as I couldn't find the location of a nose egg online. All the new Paste dependencies worked fine from PyPI. And it lets me play with all the new toys :) -- wavy davy "True religon confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear on time" - A. W.
