Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for replying!
I followed, to the letter, all of the directions posted on http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/wiki/IdentityManagement (I did edit the document under step 5, since the way things were selected via @identity.require had been recently improved.) The user and group do exist, and I created them from the shell by instantiating the TG_User() and TG_Group(). There could, of course, be a problem with my developmental set-up. I had run easy-install for 0.8a4, 0.8a6, and then, most recently, for the 0.9 packages using http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/tree/browse_frm/thread/98a7dac952c14325/25298cbf6e09b484?rnum=1&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fturbogears%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2F98a7dac952c14325%2F25298cbf6e09b484%3F#doc_7521df3fb312eab5 I had to manually update the "tg-admin" script command (in /usr/local/bin) to use the 0.9 dev package. Afterwards, I followed your walkthrough. Should I try clearing out something in Python's site packages? I'm no expert at what easy-install does. Thank you again!
