One thing worth pointing out is that virtualenv supports an option -- no-site-packages, which isn't documented on the page referred to. This option is extremely useful if you already have lots of crud installed in the standard installed version of Python as it will effectively give you a clean slate. It means you have to reinstall everything you need in the virtual Python environment, but that is somewhat the point of it as it specifically avoids strange things happening where you have existing incompatible versions of packages in the standard Python installation. Where the OP has already installed TurboGears in standard Python site- packages, I would be strongly recommending they use the --no-site- packages option. Thus: virtualenv --no-site-packages TURBOGEARS-ENV-1 source TURBOGEARS-ENV-1/bin/activate easy_install "TurboGears=1.0.4b2" >From there create new TurboGears site and run it.
