Ok. Here's the magic abracadabra that someone saw fit not to document.

To make it work,
you download tgsetup.py

python tgsetup.py

python tgsetup.py

That's right. You run it twice!

Now I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you only need to do that the
first time you run tgsetup.py on a machine, but for the love of god will
someone
please update the turbogears.org installation instructions page to mention
this.

This kind of boneheaded oversight in the how-tow documentation leads to
bad perception of quality and professionalism of the project. There is way
too much
software out there for anyone to learn the "oh we all know that"
conventions.
Nothing (NOTHING) is obvious. One stupid documentation mistake like that can
stop people, and might even encourage them to use Grails or something!!!

Basically, I'll go through projects and go: Does that one install as
promised?
Yes. Usable.
Does that one install as promised?
No.  Not usable.

If I wasn't already loyal to tg (largely because its original installation
instructions
and demos "just worked" which was refreshingly different), I'd be gone.
