There's quite a few actually:

That's just a few picks Kevin made, there are many more.  As I
understand it textdrive also supports TG.

For myself, I handle user-installation of TurboGears pretty much like I
do all user-installed Python packages: using setuptools.  Any user who
uses easy_install or 'python setup.py install' gets their packages
automatically installed into a subdirectory of their home directory and
that takes precedence over the system installed packages.  Works like a
charm.

Cliff
