Out of curiosity, is there any inherent problems in packages 3 years old? > The non-ToscaWidgets way is plain ol' FormEncode but then you're going > lower level.

Yeah, I've been planning to drop the ruledispatch dependency long ago since it has caused more problems than it has solved (specially due to its C speedups). I've just comitted a TODO file [1] as a kind of roadmap for things I'd like to get done before releasing a final stable 1.0. > > Looking at TW's setup.py, the only "ancient" dependency is RuleDispatch. > http://svn.turbogears.org/projects/ToscaWidgets/trunk/setup.py > > I recall a discussion about wanting to improve RuleDispatch and spin > it off, but apparently this has not been done yet and there are > insufficient volunteers for it. > > I'm stunned that ToscaWidgets would depend on Myghty by default, > especially since it's spun off from TurboGears which prefers > Genshi/Kid. Maybe they did this as a courtesy to Pylons 0.9.4 and > they could change it fairly easily? TW doesn't depend on Mighty. However, I've nailed the problem and worked around it in newest trunk: Apparently Pylons declares a python.templating.engines entry point, pylonsmighty, which TW tries to load when initialized [2]. This will cause a DistributionError if Myghty is not installed. > > Though looking at setup.py, I don't see how Mako is strictly required > unless you invoke the "Mako extra".

This should be fixed so they're loaded JIT to prevent this kind of errors. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
