Installing TG on Windows - pysqlite problems
Thomas
Installing TG out-of-the-box on Windows doesn't work because I can't
compile the extensions needed for pysqlite.
When I install the Windows-binary package of pysqlite manually before
installing TG this also doesn't work, because easy_install doesn't
know anything of my fresh installed pysqlite and tries to install the
egg from cheeseshop (with the error above . . .).
Suggestions to get beyond this?
For the application I'm intending to build I don't even need pysqlite :

thx for yout pointer, but I've already read this thread and followed
Christopher's "option 2".
Unfortunately TG seems to *require* (as of "EGG-INFO/requires.txt")
the pysqlite egg to be installed and the windows binary-package I
installed didn't came as an egg.
But (as I'm quite new to python) maybe I missed an important point?
Is it possible to "tweak" the TG installation so that it won't try to
"easy_install pysqlite"?

The latest released version (1.0.1) in the 1.0 branch does not seem to require
pysqlite for the standard install, only for the "testtools" extension. See
http://trac.turbogears.org/browser/branches/1.0/setup.py (line 101)
Are you sure you are using the latest version? Or maybe the tgsetup.py script
wants to install the testtools extension? Have you tried installing with this
command?
easy_install TurboGears==1.0.1

Your assumption (tgsetup.py wanting to install the testtools) seems to
be right.
In fact tgsetup.py downloaded the right version 1.0.1 of TurboGears,
but somehow managed to leave these testtools-artifacts in EGG-INFO/
requires.txt, so my first try with a plain "easy_install
TurboGears==1.0.1" didn't refresh the locally available files and
failed like the (tgsetup.py) ones before.
But "easy_install --upgrade TurboGears==1.0.1" did the job (at least
the hardest part) :)
On the following "tg-admin info" I got a message complaining about a
missing module "sqlobject" which I got fixed by "easy_install
SQLObject".
Now everything seems to be up and running :)
Thx,
Thomas
