Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-457:
--------------------------------------
I'm of the opinion that we should be pretty liberal about adding stuff to
contrib/, so while I have a few comments regarding this patch, the only one I
consider to be blocking is the included copy of simplejson. We really should
avoid embedding third-party libraries whenever possible, and it doesn't seem
warranted here (it's easy enough to install simplejson separately).
As for the other (non-blocking) comments:
It's always a good idea to use WSGI when creating Python web applications, but
having chosen to use mod python instead, there are some features you could
exploit to make this a little less brittle and a little easier to maintain.
For example, instead of mixing html in with the rest of the code, you could use
PSP (http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-psp.html).
Instead of hard-coding things like host, port, and keyspace, you could make
them configurable via the apache configuration using PythonOption directives.
Instead of coding up all of your own form handling, you could take advantage of
mod python's
(http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-util-fstor.html).
