Problem installing configobj on upgrade

[Robin Haswell]

Hey there

I followed the website upgrade proceedure from the website, and when I tried to start tg-admin I got
"no module named configobj"

Then I found this in the setuptools output:

Installed /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/TurboGears-0.9a5-py2.4.egg

Adding ConfigObj 4.3.1 to easy-install.pth file

Any advice?

Panic over, I purged all of TurboGears from my system and ran a clean install. Worked fine. I wanted
to install with "--prefix /usr/local" anyway.

I received the same error upgrading from .9a4.  A clean re-install also fixed the problem for me.

I just updated tg.org to ConfigObj 4.3.1. *hopefully* the egg will
install properly from there now. If anyone else runs into this, you
can

easy_install http://files.turbogears.org/eggs/ConfigObj-4.3.1-py2.4.egg

directly. I'll see if there's some way to fix Fuzzyman's site...
