My question would be why your customers need to know what is inside turbogears in the first place? So far I have done fine explaining to them: - I use python and turbogears. It makes building your site way faster so you will get about twice as much site per dollar as with a php solution - Therefore we need to agree at the outset that you will be prepared for deployment on a host of my approval. Sign off on that please. After that, it's really none of their concern which version of TG I use.
