Obviously, these packages are not in repositories.
Where did you look? Of course they are. They might not be in Etch because during that time no proper packages existed. But they are certainly in Lenny. And if you need these packages in non-outdated version you wouldn't use Etch anyway. The package names are: - python-paste - python-pastescript - python-pastedeploy - python-mako - python-webhelpers - python-nose - python-decorator - python-pylons - python-routes - python-sqlalchemy All these packages are up-to-date AFAICT. Pylons may not be rc2 but certainly the 0.9.5 version. I have an rc2 package ready if you are interested. > Virtual-python and workingenv are not part of the install instructions, so I > didn't think that they were considered "best practices".

I didn't really get friends with that approach. I'd rather spend an hour to create a Debian package from a Python module. But that's just me. :) I can't stand having software installed that apt doesn't know about. > And, setuptools puts eggs into /usr/lib/ by default.
