As part of trying to submit a patch for this ticket:
http://trac.turbogears.org/ticket/1648  I've been following the
instructions here:

  http://docs.turbogears.org/Contributing

So I can get a development version of TG installed.  I'm using a
Windows XP laptop, that I don't otherwise use for this purpose, which
means I don't have to mess around with virtualenv or worry about
messing up my regular dev environment.  Anyway I'm running into some
trouble.

I've did the following steps (checkout actually done using
TortoiseSVN):

 svn co http://svn.turbogears.org/branches/1.0 turbogears
 cd turbogears
 python setup.py develop

Which seemed to install everything ok, but then when I ran nosetests
several unit tests failes claiming they could not install SQLObject or
sqlalchemy.  Next I tried what was outlined in "dealing with
dependencies":

 cd thirdparty
 python -c "import setuptools; execfile('externals.py')" develop

It took me a while to realise I also needed to install the command
line versions of SVN so that externals.py would actually run (might be
worth mentioning that in the Contributing docs?).

However this had little effect and didn't actually even checkout
sqlalchemy.

I'm sure I am missing a key step.  Perhaps I should have install TG
normally first (to get the right dependencies) and then retrieved the
dev version?

Hope someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

cheers,
          John
