that's why you have setuptools to do it for you :) > Just look at the list of packages listed at > http://www.turbogears.org/download/index.html. I agree that list looks big but those are all the packages TG may need, also see that many versions of the same package are in there. I believe someone is working on adding to easy_install a list command that will tell you exactly which packages are needed for X install.

I *do* appreciate the work > you do, even if this message might make you think I don't. something as simple as pointing out where stuff needs to be done is a good help, even go into trac and say I try this patch and it works ok or I'll like this to be implemented is a big contribution --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
