Received. There's also a problem with not being able to specify the case of the controller, which can lead to monstrosities like MyxmlController or SqlalchemyController, which can be hard to read if you don't know the acronym ends and the adjacent word begins. I'm not sure what the most robust solution is, as you have to imply both the module name and class name, and it needs to work with modules in subpackages too. "_Controller" is too unobvious as a suffix. Maybe a symbol prefix like "#". But in that case we might want to kill two birds with one stone and do "#package.module:ClassController", using an entry point-like syntax for consistency. -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
