Description

We all know that tgsetup.py sucks (#1317, #1740, #1741).

We all love virtualenv.

So here's a script that creates a virtualenv bootstrap script to install TurboGears in a new or existing virtual environment. Here is the help message from the created bootstrap script (tgsetupng.py == tgsetup Next Generation ;-)): 

Usage: Usage: tgsetupng.py [OPTIONS] DEST_DIR [VERSION]

Installs the TurboGears framework in a virtual environment in DESTDIR.

Specify a particular version to install with VERSION.

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         Increase verbosity
  -q, --quiet           Decrease verbosity
  --clear               Clear out the non-root install and start from scratch
  --with-site-packages  Give access to the global site-packages dir to the
                        virtual environment
  --package-index=URL   Find & download packages from package index at URL

Successfully tested on Ubuntu 7.10, Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4.

does it work without virtual env (ie: can I use this to install TG in my normal python?)

No, this is for a virtualenv-based install only.

I created a new version of the script and added it to the TurboGears repository under /projects/tgsetupng/. There is a small README.txt included with a bit more information but it's not yet finished. When it is, I will probably write to the TG mailing list and ask for testers.
