Hi,
Python has been my favorite general purpose language for a while now,
but I'm fairly new to web development, so I thought I'd check out
TurboGears. I encountered one stumbling block that you might want to
incorporate into your installation instructions:

If you're going through a proxy, you need to set the http_proxy
environment variable in order for ez_setup.py to work:

export http_proxy="http://your.proxy.com:8000";

(I did that within Cygwin on Windows.) It took looking at ez_setup.py
and then the documentation for urllib2 to figure out, which wasn't all
that much of an ordeal, but it might be nice to save others time by
adding a step to your install page.

Thanks!
Mike Sluyter
