Put this in your setup.py:
from ez_setup import use_setuptools
use_setuptools("0.6a9dev_r41701",
"http://turbogears.org/download/eggs";)
and build an egg for the corresponding version of setuptools and put it
in the download/eggs directory. See also the docstring for
'use_setuptools()' in ez_setup.py.
(Note, however, that you may need to keep the eggs around for a while,
in case somebody tries to install from an older source release of
TurboGears. The download process simply tries to directly fetch the
egg, it doesn't have any smart page parsing or version checking, since
all the smart stuff is in pkg_resources and setuptools.package_index,
which of course haven't been downloaded yet. :) )
