We just need to make sure that the documentation points out the things to consider when using easy_install instead of the recommended tgsetup.py. And you've already starting doing that on the DeployWithAnEgg page. > The main TG website links directly to the official install > instructions > that tell you to use tgsetup.py.

I'm sure I originally used tgsetup.py to install TurboGears, a few years back when first learning it. Since then, I forgot it existed as easy_install always worked fine for me and felt like the more natural way to install an egg-packaged framework. > We might also want to think about whether we should change the 1.0 > quickstart templates to to put "install_requires = ['TurboGears > >=1.0.X, > < 1.1b1'] in the setup.py by default. +1. Explicit is always better in my book.
