Sorry for taking so long. Been wrapping up my Friday. We recommend using virtualenv. Strongly. virtualenv allows for what amounts to a private installation of Python, giving *only* the packages that are required to run TG itself. There's no automation of it, either. Instead of runing /usr/bin/python you would run (for example) /home/user/myproject/bin/python
And that's all the automation required. If you're using mod_wsgi, you point it at *that* installation of Python instead of the default system installation. It really does make life much easier for managing the installation of TG or, indeed, of any other complex Python program. Check out its description and documentation at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv I promise you that once you start using it, and see the benefits, you're not going to want to install any Python program any other way. Now, to address your other issue, the "conflicting" packages: setuptools (and distribute, and pip) all support the idea of namespace'd packages. As a result, you can have packages that look like they're going to conflict, but in reality are actually loaded into the correct place in the hierarchy, allowing to do exactly what has been done with the repoze packages. Now, I need to get to releasing 2.1.5. Pretty sure I just need to make the announcement, push the tags, and let it fly.
