The problem is with the nature of the webserver, The website i am
developing (my first app with turbogears) will be deployed at a RH
enterprise server,(i dont thing i get the name of the distro right,
but i hope u understand what distro i mean ), this server is not setup
up to work with python applications, (and for some reasons i cant just
change the hosting company) and althought python is there it dosent
have setup-tools installed, this situation is not an exception, many
maybe most of the small web hosting companies that i have worked with
tend not to support Python app's(TurboGears websites in this case), so
tools like easy_install are missing. I am not saying that TG is not
easilly deployable on a webserver that supports python on the contrary
i believe it is easy as running easy_install, the problem is that web
hosting companies dont "support" python, so the whole deployment thing
starts being an issue. I havent had any difficulties making TG run on
my PC nor on other PC's thanx to setup_tools, the thing is that
sometimes tha admins are not very eager to help or they dont want to
spend time setting up python the right way, this is what i mean when
i say its not the easiest thing.
That being sayd, i want to ask again, is there a way to use freeze
or .egg to be able to package the whole app as standalone. My
expirience is small with setup_tools . I tried to find a feature in
setup_tools to help me with my situation but i didnt manage to find
something usefull. Dont flame me i am with ur side ;) , its just that
am taking pressure and i never thought it to be a problem (the
deployment). Plz help me.
