This sounds exciting to try!  Of course for me doing anything in the Ubuntu operating system is exciting since I am not familiar with it! Lol! 
 
I will give it my best shot this weekend and let you know how it goes!

Ps. Since I can do all my studies using Firefox in Ubuntu the only obstacle I have to using my laptop completely is my ability to print. I have a Kodak ESP 3200 Series (usb connect) that I am unable to locate the drivers for.  I have thought about using a virtual box but I would have to be able to locate my W7 installation first wouldn't I? Would my printing capability even work that way? With a virtual box?

Hi Stacy,

The Ubuntu "python-setuptools" package contains the easy_install command.  In earlier revisions of CaneyPUGgies_env_setup.sh, I got the same setuptools error you saw last night.  The basic problem is that TurboGears 2.1 requires a particular version of setuptools--the Python 2.5 version numbered 0.6c9.  To fix the error, rather than just using the regular Ubuntu copy of easy_install, I had to manually tell easy_install to install setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg as was done in lines 28-50 here.  This guarantees that (the virtual environment's copy of) easy_install downloads & installs the Python 2.5 version of TurboGears.

Later in my testing CaneyPUGgies_env_setup.sh I found it was no longer necessary to manually install setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg so long as I made the script install python-setuptools using apt-get around line 32.

So, you may need to run the following commands to install the right version of setuptools:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
cd ~/Projects/tg21env
source bin/activate
easy_install -m setuptools
rm -rf lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools*
# Creating TurboGears 2.1 app...
# Download setuptools-0.6c9 since TurboGears 2.1 requires it
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg
# Make directory for Python 2.5 if it doesn't exist...but if it doesn't exist, then you probably need to re-create your virtual environment this way:  "virtualenv --no-site-packages -p python2.5 tg21env", then run the rest of the CaneyPUGgies_env_setup.sh script that follows the virtualenv command
mkdir lib/python2.5
# Install setuptools-0.6c9
easy_install -m ./setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg
# Delete egg file since it's no longer needed
rm setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg

After this you may have to run the following to get the setuptools error to go away:

# Install TurboGears 2.1
easy_install -i http://www.turbogears.org/2.1/downloads/current/index tg.devtools

While running the commands above, if you encounter any error messages you can't resolve, please post them to this email list and I or others may be able to help.
