Please ,allow me to retort =)
I'm willing to bet that the main problem with such an initiative will
be bandwidth.
There where some Germans folks (can't remember the url) which
distributed a LAMP stack.
MySQL, PHP (+ extensions ) and Apache configured to run on port 8080
with a start, stop bat file
Pretty quickly they where having capacity problems, not from seasoned
PHP developers,
but developers who just wanted to try LAMP out. How difficult was to
set things up on your own?
Well each of the tree projects had already win32 installers available.
<gross-generalisation>There are a lot of win32 developers who don't
even consider trying new things out
unless there is a single click installer</gross-generalisation>
But no need to guess, you can start by asking the Plone people (or
ROR, or any other project with single clicks installers),
how do the stats look like, before you embark on this.

I think that there might be interest in this as a way of creating a
production environment for an application with minimal fuss and
helping to distribute a project on win32 environments. However, for
development types I'm not sure that it will get used too much IMHO.
Anyone developing in TG should know roughly what they're doing when
downloading eggs etc. The setup is already pretty easy (assuming
there are no snags) with easy_install.
My opinion is that it will be underused and, unless you're going to be
using it a lot yourself, would probably not be worth all the effort.

I've been mulling over the idea of an all-in-one
Python+TG+SQLlite+PostgresSQL+Apache windows installer (a la
Plone). It
could contain a self-contained python with all the necessary
site-packages to run TG and a directory structure for TG-based apps.
At my work, our net connection is heavily
firewalled/proxied/content-filtered and auto-downloading anything
just
does not work. I have to get TG in what amounts to basically a
connectionless system.
I am thinking that this kind of all-in-one setup.exe might be useful.
Before I go running off to do this (and providing I can get some
time to
do it), I'd be interested in hearing people's opinions.
(Of course, if I can convince my bosses to let me set up a linux box,
then I may lose my interest in this idea, but I think it is still
worthy
of discussion.)
Opinions? Is there even interest in this?
Thanks in advance,
Krys

Hi Ced,
There's a ticket open to create such a beast, but it doesn't exist
right now. My recommendation would be to do an svn checkout of
TurboGears. via the externals, you'll also pick up CherryPy,
MochiKit,
SQLObject and Kid which all have docs included in the checkouts.

Hi,
I'm going to have a lot of free time and I was thinking to dig
turbogears during this time. But unfortunately I won't have any
internet connexion. So do you have a tarball of all the
documentation
of turbogears including (sqlobject, cherrypy, moshikito...). So
that
in a one download I have everything to start !
Ced.
