Description: 
        tgcrud is an  TurboGears command extension,
        which could generate a sqlobject/sqlalchemy backend
        editor/crud (create, read, update, delete) interface based
        on your Model with kid template.
        It could be plugged into any projects even if you don't use kid template.
        
        The generated codes are fully customizable.
        tgcrud heavily use form widgets and show you many
        TG 1.0 features in it's controllers/templates.
        
        Please refer to http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/CRUDTemplate for detail
        
        The command follow the TurboGears quickstart template style,  you could easily add
        identity, form validation, paginate in your crud interface.
        
        If you are a TG beginer, tgcrud help you create a general
        admin skeleton based on your model.
        
        If you are an experienced TG developer, you could get it in minutes
        since it just done the basic procedure that every time you write a
        management interface of your model.
        
        Install
        ----------
        
        The 'tgcrud' command extension is available in Python CheeseShop and
        TurboGears svn.
        
        You can use setuptools to install tgcrud with following command::
        
        $ easy_install tgcrud
        
        or download the source code and install tgcrud manually.
        
        Usage
        ----------
        
        1. Define your model in model.py
        
        2. Once you've defined your model,
        you could use "tg-admin crud" command to generate the crud pack.
        The syntax is::
        
        $ tg-admin crud [model class name] [package name]
        
        e.x if the model name is BookMark,
        and the package name we want is BookMarkController, the command is::
        
        $ tg-admin crud BookMark BookMarkController
        
        Then the 'admin' package is generated.
        
        You just need take several minutes to customize the formfield to
        have a proper crud interface.
        
        ..note:: you could estimate the result by passing "--dry-run" to the command, such as::
        
        $ tg-admin crud BookMark BookMarkController --dry-run
        
        With this argument the command will not effect your physical directories.
        
        
        3. Import the package to your controllers.py with a line:
        
        from BookMarkController import BookMarkController
        
        and add a branch on your Root()::
        
        foo = BookMarkController()
        
        4. Customize the form filed in admin/controllers.py
        
        5. Open the http://localhost:8080/foo to use the customizable interface.

        Screencast
        --------------
        
        Yes, there's a 'Make a Book Site with TurboGears' screencast with tgcrud.
        
        If you are an experienced TG developer, you could skip to the third.
        
        If you are new to TG, you may want to watch all of them to get familiar with TurboGears.
