Prerequisite for Easy_Install is Setuptools Install link to v0.6c11

Easy_install fails to install turbogears 1.0.3 correctly and leaves dir corrupted. Trying with successor framework pip (simply replace easy_install with pip install, keep old version requirements.

Solution (from Andre)

$>easy_install -f http://www.turbogears.org/1.0/downloads/1.0.4.4 RuleDispatch

and then turbogears install (with 1.0.4.4)

$>easy_install turbogears==1.0.4.4

install sqlite - nightmare
from Turbogears 1.0 database installation cannot install from package as Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid ships Python 2.6.5 as standard. So:


 * Install development tools (gcc, make, etc.). (already installed long ago)
 * Install SQLite and the SQlite development files. (apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev)
 * gete a pysqlite tarball for Python 2.5.6 from Google Code repository
 * extract and copy directly under the project directory of the 2.5 virtualenv
 * with virtualenv activated and python2.5 operating run python setup.py build from the extracted pysqlite directory.

Here is the bash history on this last step including the complete setup of the virtualenv

535 virtualenv -p /usr/local/python2.5/bin/python escidcoadmin 536 cd escidcoadmin/ 537 source bin/activate 538 easy_install sqlalchemy==0.3.9 539 easy_install -f http://www.turbogears.org/1.0/downloads/1.0.4.4 RuleDispatch 540 easy_install turbogears==1.0.4.4 541 pwd 542 ls lib/python2.5/site-packages/ 543 mkdir pysqlite-2.5.6 544 cd pysqlite-2.5.6/ 545 cp -R ~/Downloads/pysqlite-2.5.6/*. 546 ls  547  python -V 548 python setup.py build 549 python setup.py install 550 pwd 551 cd .. 552 mkdir src 553 cd src checkout from subversion here 554 cp test.cfg dev.cfg 555 ls  556  cd escidocadmin/ 557 cp test.cfg dev.cfg 558 vi dev.cfg # changed  framework.host= to localhost 559 tg-admin sql create # works after installing sqlite3, sqlite3-dev, rebuilding python256 and virtualenv

unit testsests
problem

$ nosetests --exclude=twill_test.py > EEEEE......... > ====================================================================== > ERROR: escidocadmin.lib.framework_test.test_ua > -- > Traceback (most recent call last): >  File "/home/bootuser/work/escidocadmin/lib/python2.5/site-packages/nose-1.1.2-py2.5.egg/nose/case.py", line 197, in runTest >    self.test(*self.arg) > TypeError: test_ua takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)

and four more similar. Solution: rename or exclude ./escidocadmin/lib/framework_test.py from the nosetests run - it has a different interface.

tg-admin Toolbox not working. Problem. SQLObject not installed, installing that too.
easy_install SQLObject==0.10.0 (taken from the 20-minute wiki tutorial, which sets up the project via quickstart)

manual install python 2.5 on ubuntu
good (but not perfect) link howto manual install python25 on ubuntu lucid

worked, but virtualenv then failed to use the python executable, failed to load zlib.

suggestion andre:

apt-get install zlib11g-dev and remake. worked and again for sqlite.

And if I wanted to do ipython with readline support, download that too ...
