I am just installing TurboGears2 on Windows 7 running a virtual environment (python 2.7). I am not seeing the paster quickstart option when I run
paster --help
Instead, here's that output:
(VirtualEnv_1) C:\VirtualEnv_1\Scripts>paster --help
Usage: paster-script.py [paster_options] COMMAND [command_options]
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
--plugin=PLUGINS Add a plugin to the list of commands (plugins are Egg
specs; will also require() the Egg)
-h, --help Show this help message
Commands:
create Create the file layout for a Python distribution
help Display help
make-config Install a package and create a fresh config file/directory
points Show information about entry points
post Run a request for the described application
request Run a request for the described application
serve Serve the described application
setup-app Setup an application, given a config file
TurboGears2:
tginfo Show TurboGears 2 related projects and their versions
So, it's no surprise that when I run :
(VirtualEnv_1) C:\VirtualEnv_1\Scripts>paster quickstart
I get:
Command 'quickstart' not known (you may need to run setup.py egg_info)
Known commands:
create Create the file layout for a Python distribution
exe Run #! executable files
help Display help
make-config Install a package and create a fresh config file/directory
points Show information about entry points
post Run a request for the described application
request Run a request for the described application
serve Serve the described application
setup-app Setup an application, given a config file
tginfo Show TurboGears 2 related projects and their versions
My questions: Why is it missing, and how do I get it?
You get into this situation when you've installed the package required to run a TurboGears app (TurboGears2), but not the one required to develop a TurboGears app (tg.devtools).
Running the following command while in your virtualenv should install the correct package:
easy_install -i http://www.turbogears.org/2.1/downloads/current/index tg.devtools
