How to Install From Nightly egg builds

[Michael Schneider]

Sorry to as such a stupid question.

I am new to eggs, how do I install turbogears from the
nightly build eggs on:

http://www.opensource4you.com/nightly_tarballs.shtml

???

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

Don't worry. We all learn one day. First you move it to any directory of
your convenience (replacing any previously downloaded nightly egg -
obviously you do this from the next time onwards).

I am on windows and I usually move it to a folder called 'eggs' on the d
drive.

Then I do,

easy_install -f d:\eggs\ TurboGears

That does the job for me.

HTH,

Deepak

I'll admit to not going out of my way to make this easy, given that
the 0.9 features are still very much in development...

You could try:

easy_install -f http://www.opensource4you.com/nightly_tarballs.shtml TurboGears

Btw Kevin. Wouldn't it be nice to enable svn checkouts from
easy_install, as setuptools do with easy_install setuptools==dev ?

That's precisely how I haven't gone out of my way to make it easy :)

Phillip told me the magic incantations to make that work, but I'm much
more interested in getting TG 0.9 baked than being able to
easy_install the svn version...

hi,

are there any estimates on when will tg0.9 be released?
when ready? :)
in a week?
in a month?
in a year?

"when ready" is a good answer :). I'd like to put a stake in the
ground and say "before the end of the year". It's time to start
sealing it up.

what would you recommend for a simple project that will start now and be
finished around end of january - end of february?

use tg0.8?
use tg0.8 and later upgrade to tg0.9?
use svn version until tg0.9 is released?

thanks,

It depends on a couple of things:

1) how much you need the new APIs
2) how much you'd like to influence their development
3) how much you're willing to rework in your app as API changes

Having people working on real apps using the new APIs is actually a
good thing. But, there is *zero* guarantee of backwards compatibility
with the new APIs that are in svn. So, depending on how you feel about
those three questions, you can decide which way is the right way to
go.

After identity, widgets, expose and i18n have stabilized, that would
be a good time to update the download page to provide some
instructions for people that want to test the work in progress...

i have no problems with API changes...if i know about them...
so my only worry is that maybe i will not spot when an API has changed...

i hope following this mailinglist is enough to know about those bigger
changes.

Gábor,


What I'm doing is to update my SVN checkout from time to time. I always know
the version it is running, so I can downgrade if something goes wrong. Right
now I'm running version 250 from the trunk, and since I have all what I need
here, I've stopped upgrading to finish the application and only then I'll move
to a newer version before starting another project. (In a day or two ;-))


Be seeing you,

Hi all. I'm trying TurboGears out for a demo app. My background is
Quixote and Cheetah. I installed TG 0.8a4 and got the wiki demo
working. Now I'm trying to upgrade to the SVN tarball with Kevin's
command:

easy_install -f
http://www.opensource4you.com/nightly_tarballs.shtml TurboGears

But easy_install doth say:

Installed
/usr/local/stow/python-2.4.2/lib/python2.4/site-packages/TurboGears-0.9a0dev_r252-py2.4.egg
Processing dependencies for TurboGears
Searching for RuleDispatch
Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/RuleDispatch/
Couldn't find index page for 'RuleDispatch' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/
No local packages or download links found for RuleDispatch
error: Could not find distribution for
Requirement.parse('RuleDispatch')

Is this another package I need to install?

I tried this both before and after moving the 0.8a4 egg to a
non-discoverable directory.

Mike

Try explictly updating rules dispatch, then doing the TurboGear

easy_install -f http://peak.telecommunity.com/snapshots/ RuleDispatch

[Mike Orr]

OK, that works. I had to make one change in the wiki demo due to this error:

2005/11/30 14:30:52 HTTP INFO 127.0.0.1 - GET /pagelist?tg_format=json
...
File "/usr/local/stow/python-2.4.2/lib/python2.4/site-packages/TurboGears-0.9a0dev_r252-py2.4.egg/turbogears/controllers.py",
line 166, in newfunc
raise BadFormatError("JSON output is not allowed for that method")
BadFormatError: JSON output is not allowed for that method

Changed:

@turbogears.expose(html="wiki20.templates.pagelist")

to:

@turbogears.expose(html="wiki20.templates.pagelist", allow_json=True)

Yep. That's a documented change in 0.9.
