Yes, I tried this.  I still get an error on the update_config line
because it is not recognizing my package name.  I'm getting a module
not found error.  When I look at the PKG-INFO file, I see the package
name and that's the name I'm using:

turbogears.update_config(configfile="dev.cfg",
modulename="blah.config")

When I run this in the 'tg-admin shell', it works.  Any help would be
appreciated with this.

thanks.
