I don't agree with this decision. I never use tgsetup.py (I forgot it existed TBH) and the reason is that I distribute and deploy my TG projects as eggs. The guys deploying the apps are instructed that all they need to do is easy_install the application eggs and the dependency requirements will install TurboGears/etc if necessary. My assumption is that setuptools will find the latest stable version of 1.0.x from pypi, but as you say this is incorrect. This should be made clear, as I (and others in the same position) will need to make sure we define the TG dependencies as "turbogears < 1.1a" to ensure 1.0.x is used, until such a time as we've been able to test and verify 1.1 compatibility. I don't really understand why tgsetup.py should behave differently than "easy_install turbogears". I thought tgsetup.py was simply a helper script for users unfamiliar with setuptools/etc to make their life easier. I would expect easy_install to be the standard installation method, given that TG deployment is based around setuptools/eggs.
