Hello, I'm very new to Python although not programming. I am curious about TG as it was recommended/demoed to me by a friend and looks great but it seems very hard to get this up and running on Ubuntu Feisty 7.04.
a) Seems like the default Python/TG packages on Ubuntu are hosed and don't work out of the box (non-standard install locations?). I originally got this error after installing TG via Synapic: http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/ab9c0d80140eeb4b/213fbd01e705ba9c?lnk=gst&q=ubuntu&rnum=1#213fbd01e705ba9c b) I then followed the advice of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" on the above thread who suggested basically a complete fresh make install of Python 2.5 and TG. This "kind of" worked. However, I didn't understand the reference to "zlib" in the install notes here and I don't think I have this correctly configured. I installed TG via easy_install and not via tgsetup.py. c) I can now run tg-admin info and see this, which is better than the stack trace I had before, so assume some progress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tg-admin info TurboGears Complete Version Information TurboGears requires: * TurboGears 1.0.2.2 * Cheetah 2.0rc7 * configobj 4.3.2 * DecoratorTools 1.4 * RuleDispatch 0.5a0.dev-r2306 * setuptools 0.6c5 * FormEncode 0.7.1 * PasteScript 1.1 * elementtree 1.2.6-20050316 * simplejson 1.7.1 * CherryPy 2.2.1 * TurboKid 1.0.1 * TurboCheetah 0.9.5 * TurboJson 1.0 * PyProtocols 1.0a0 * Cheetah 2.0rc7 * PasteDeploy 1.1 * Paste 1.1.1 * kid 0.9.5 * Cheetah 2.0rc7 * RuleDispatch 0.5a0.dev-r2306 Identity Providers * sqlobject (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * sqlalchemy (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) tg-admin Commands * info (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * shell (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * quickstart (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * update (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * sql (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * i18n (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * toolbox (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) Visit Managers * sqlobject (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * sqlalchemy (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) Template Engines * kid (TurboKid 1.0.1) * cheetah (TurboCheetah 0.9.5) * json (TurboJson 1.0) Widget Packages Toolbox Plugins * info (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * catwalk (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * shell (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * designer (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * widgets (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * admi18n (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) TurboGears Extensions * visit (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) * identity (TurboGears 1.0.2.2) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ d) Now I am trying to follow the tutorial here, to get Hello World working: http://exogen.case.edu/turbogears.html But when I follow the steps listed, this happens: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tg-admin quickstart Enter project name: tutorial Enter package name [tutorial]: Do you need Identity (usernames/passwords) in this project?
