Hi, Welcome, and I'm sorry about the trouble!
Eggs provide a powerful packaging format for Python modules and programs, and TurboGears makes extensive use of them. However, we're a little ahead of the curve on them. Generally, they've been working great, but this week we hit an unexpected problem (which is what you've run into). Fortunately, there's an easy way out! Download the ez_setup.py that's currently on TurboGears.org: http://www.turbogears.org/download/ez_setup.py Then run, python ez_setup.py setuptools==0.6a8 You'll need to use the same kind of options you used when you installed TurboGears. Specifically, you may need something like: sudo python ez_setup.py --script-dir /usr/local/bin setuptools==0.6a8 Backtracking the earlier setuptools should fix this problem for you. I'm going to work on getting us to the latest setuptools early in the week. Good luck, and let us know if you run into other trouble!
