It shouldn’t be so hard to set up turbogears on ubuntu Feisty Fox. The easy_install-2.4 turbogears approach crashes when trying to install Cheetah.

So, here’s a list of everything I had to do:

• I installed the Ubuntu package for Cheetah: sudo apt-get install python-cheetah
• Then I could run the easy install: sudo easy_install-2.4 turbogears
• I edited /etc/apt/sources.list and added multiverse to the list of available packages. In other words, I changed this section:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty universe

to look like this:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty universe multiverse

• Then I installed the python profiler package: sudo apt-get install python-profiler.
• I tried installing pysqlite2 through easy_install, but that blew up, so I installed ubuntu package for pysqlite2 instead: sudo apt-get install python-pysqlite2.

Now everything works.
