[TurboGears] Re: Possible Quick Fix For The 20 Min Wiki Tutorial
The problem is that you are using the version from svn (since allow_json is in the not released 0.9) and the wiki tutorial is for 0.8. It will surly be updated in time for the 0.9 release. Anyway. Either you could change allow_json in the .cfg file as you did or you could se allow_json= True in the @expose() decorator for the specific method.

[TurboGears] Some sitetemplate weirdness
I just bumped my TG installation to 0.8a4 from TG 0.5.0. I'm getting
the following error upon loading a kid template.
HTTP INFO SystemExit raised: shutting down autoreloader
After some code tracing, I found that reloader_thread() in
turbogears/startup.py is picking up a module with a __file__ attribute
value equal to 'string.' This is obviously not a reloadable module
(os.stat('string').st_mtime raises OSError as you'd expect).
I believe the source of the string module is the default setting for
sitetemplate in lookupTemplate() in turbogears/view.py.
sys.modules[sitetemplate] = \
kid.load_template(html/html, name=sitetemplate)
Kid loads this module with a __file__ attribute equal to 'string'.
The weirdnessis this. I have two TG apps that I'm working on. In one,
the above module appears in the reloader_thread's reloadable module
list. In the other, it does not. The default sitetemplate is used in
both apps. I is not currently clear to me why there is a difference
between the two apps.
The work around is to provide a real site template in the config
file(s) via sitetemplate.

Or CherryPy is unpacking for you. Anyway, there's a dictionary in there just waiting to get out ;) Obviously (hopefully?) you can also use **fields in the function signature. FormEncode definitely prefers dictionaries -- it's not unpacking anything. If you use variabledecode (which can be used with or without FormEncode validators) then you can using naming conventions to get all the values in a subdictionary. E.g., with keys like obj.aaa, obj.bbb, etc, you'll get a dictionary in the variable obj. This can be used to partition variables into a more cohesive set, with less issues of unrelated variables leaking in, or having to rearrange the dictionary that you get (popping keys and the like). -- Ian Bicking / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://blog.ianbicking.org

[TurboGears] CatWalk, or what I need an automated administration interface to do.
I'm creating a very complex data structure which requires some advanced
features:
1. SingleJoin for things like physical/shipping/billing addresses:
class Address(SQLObject):
# ...
class Client(SQLObject):
# ...
Physical= SingleJoin('Address')
Shipping= SingleJoin('Address')
# ...
2. Defaults on everything and None values on ForeignKey elements:
class Server(SQLObject):
# ...
Account = ForeignKey('Account', default = None)
# ...
class Service(SQLObject):
Type= EnumCol(enumValues=['TCP','UDP','Both'],
default=TCP, title = Port Type)
3. An ability to insert relational data inline. For example, Service
is Many:1 with Server, it would be nice to be able to insert Service
records from the Server record view.
---
CatWalk does not display #1 in anything other than structure view.
CatWalk halts insertion and display of #2 if the ForeignKey is None,
and does not understand defaults on anything.
Number 3 would take a large amount of the tedium away from what I'm
doing, which involves much switching between tables to create data in
the correct order. *ugh*

Leandro Lucarella wrote: With svn's SQLObject now you can do: ret = Person.get(PersonId).sqlmeta.asDict() Yes. I've been looking forward to that feature's debut in TG. Can I also pass a dictionary to SQLObject to set the attributes of an existing or new object to the dictionaries values? It seems like I saw somewhere that I can already do that? If so, then by using Bonono's strategy, I would be able to do exactly what I want. The only tedious grunt work I would have to do would be to initialize my dict entries/attributes/fields once in my method for putting up a form to get values for a new object. Everything else would be just passing dictionaries and possible twiddling with an entry here or there. That would be exactly what I was looking for in TG. I looked at DJango, etc. and decided that they looked too generalized. Django looked great... if all you do is CMS. I wanted a generalized web application framework. Not a web CMS framework. I want as much of the flexibility of mod_python as I can retain, but with the framework handling the wrote mechanical tedium. BTW, bonono, I finally got to the reporting part of my app and tried out the info in the link you provided me a while back to be able to do raw SQL through SQLObject. Works great! But it did demonstrate to me how I'd gotten used to the simplicity of SQLObject for doing simple DB related things. (And it was a bit jarring having to switch gears even insofar as what the fields db fields were named, e.g. employee_phone vs employeePhone.) A fusion of the two ways of doing things into TG would be a match made in heaven. The only problem being that I wouldn't have anything more to complain about! ;-) -Steve

I just gave it a look. The content is quite good, and the new codec
settings played great in QuickTime (it even looked fine scaled up
to fullscreen on my tibook).
Two things:
1. next time, it would be cool if you could say MochiKit with the
correct pronunciation ('mō ch ē kit.. like the Japanese mochi). For
some reason other people are saying it like you did ;) I'm planning
to do a screencast pretty soon showing off some of what MochiKit can
do (entirely from the interpreter example), but I think TG has a few
more eyes and ears on it.
2. In the loadJSONDoc code, you should be able to just do::
loadJSONDoc(artists, list);
... which would implicitly call queryString(list), notice that it is
a HTML node and call formContents(list) for its arguments:
(list.name, list.value) and build a URL like artists?song=2.
Anyway, that's what it's supposed to do. If it doesn't then that's a
bug and I'll fix it before 1.1 (I haven't tested it with SELECT lists
yet).

This arrangement will hopefully make it easier for people running svn to find docs and for people who are running the current released version to see what's coming next. Spiffy; works fine with VLC for me. I like the rotating G. One data design note -- I don't think you should normally give length to StringCol (i.e., you should use TEXT). Fixed-length fields are a relic of the 80's; modern databases can and do deal pretty well with arbitrary length text fields. Except MySQL doesn't allow indexes on them. Dumb MySQL. In fact, if I remember correctly (and I may not), many databases will be more space-efficient with arbitrary length fields, because they don't preallocate the full length, but they frequently do for fixed length fields. Also, less typing! Yeah, and space efficiency is directly proportional to performance, because modern databases are almost always bound by IO. -bob
