Offline Install?

[Jorge Vargas]

I'm trying to install TG at work, and the firewall is blocking the python scripts, i can download the files manually (i did that with setuptools) and hacked the scipt to read the file from my disk, but now it's downloading TG, so I think I should ask for help instead of keep messing up.


Can I

a) download all the files and tell the scripts paths to them?
b) get a tar or something to do an offline install?
c) set everything up manually?

by the way I can't get svn cause it;s block also.

Yes; download them to a directory, go into that directory and use -f.
as in:

ez_setup.py -f. TurboGears

By the way, there is also a proxy server available at
http://ntlmaps.sf.net/ that lets Python get through NTLM-based
firewalls in the same way that your web browser does; you just have to
run it and configure urllib to use it as a proxy server.

which is the exact list of packages? all the ones listed in
http://turbogears.com/download/index.html
is that list up to date for 0.8 that is?

I'm not sure which cElementTree file to get (i'm running windows here)

should i get ElementTree + win32 or ElementTree + modified one?

[Phillip J. Eby]

For Windows, I don't believe you need any source packages; just get
.egg and -win32.egg files. Note, however, that if you get more than
you need, or less than you need, it's not a problem. If you're missing
something, the install process will fail, but can safely be restarted
once you download the missing thing. When you rerun the same command,
it'll only look for things it hasn't already installed.

yes I notice that, i got the win32 and it worked fine (no errors).

then i added the <pythonDir>\scripts dir to the path, and went i run
tg-admin i get this error

I believe that's the same you get from
http://www.turbogears.org/download/index.html

i download them all, and easy_install exit without a problem.

[jorge....@gmail.com]

i think i didn't say that right

I download them all, easy_install exit without a problem and i get that
error.

[Karl Guertin]

I did something like this:

mkdir turbogears_install
cd turbogears_install
wget http://turbogears.org/download/index.html
mv index.html tg_install.html
vim tg_install.html
## Delete all html not related to the download, save and quit
mkdir eggs
cp tg_install.html eggs/tg_install_temp
cd eggs
vim tg_install_temp
## Delete everything except the download links:
## :%s/^.*http/http/
## :%s/">.*$//
## :%g!/^http/d
## save and quit
for x in `tg_install_temp`;do wget $x; done
# tar it, scp it here, whatever, get back in the turbogears_install directory
easy_install -f ./tg_install.html TurboGears

If someone can open a ticket on this (I gotta run in just a minute): I
can bundle up all of the eggs into a massive tarball that includes
ez_setup.py. The ideal arrangement is to let easy_install work as well
as possible, but I know that some people are stuck behind draconian
firewalls.
