I was inititally excited to look at TG. I have recently evaluated Django, RubyOnRails, and Zope. However, installing this toolkit is a nightmare. Here are some notes:
1. TG does -not- install with python2.3, despite some notes that this might be possible. The Kid egg: kid-0.7adev_r186-py2.4.egg requires py2.4, and this is the only version of kid >= 0.7, the version required by setuptools. 2. TG does (obviously) install with python2.4. But there are many unresolved dependency issues. a. psycopg2.4 is not yet in debian testing, so postgres access is out b. the biggest nit of all is that if an egg has dependencies, and you subsequently install those depenencies, (sqlite, python2.4-sqlite, python2.4-sqlite2), then you -must- 'rm -rf' the site-packages/SQLObject-0.7b1dev-py2.4.egg and perform a subsequent easy install in order for the dependency to be recognized (python ez_setup.py -f http://www.turbogears.org/download/index.html --script-dir /usr/local/bin TurboGears) c. after fighting thru all that, i am finding that i still cannot get TG to operate: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/working/turbogear/wiki20$ turbogears-admin.py sql create Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/turbogears-admin.py", line 4, in ? pkg_resources.run_script('TurboGears==0.5.1', 'turbogears-admin.py') File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.4.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 407, in run_script self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6a5-py2.4.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 914, in run_script raise ResolutionError("No script named %r" % script_name) pkg_resources.ResolutionError: No script named 'turbogears-admin.py' In summary, although I really like the simple MVC representation in TG, the simple fact is that I have had 10x more trouble installing this suite than I have had with Django, RubyOnRails, and Zope put together. I'm putting TG back on the shelf and looking into Quiote next.
