Hi, If I understand it correctly, 'python setup.py develop' does basically the same thing as 'python setup.py install', only it links the source to your site-packages rather than installing it in there. In this case, setup.py develop will only install tg.devtools if it is listed in the install_dependencies in setup.py.
I do not think it is correct to place tg.devtools in the package dependencies because when you deploy the software to a live server using, for example, Apache and mod_wsgi, you probably do not want to install tg.devtools, but only the real run-time dependencies. This is how I run my turbogears projects, but you may need to deploy in a different way and may need tg.devtools for another reason. I don't know why 'paster serve' requires tg.devtools, that sounds a bit odd to me, but maybe somebody else can point out what is going on here.
