Building Chandler Parcels <http://svn.osafoundation.org/chandler/
branches/Chandler_0.6/chandler/distrib/docs/ BuildingChandlerParcels.html>
is a revision of this year's PyCon
paper <http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Documentation/
BuildingChandlerParcels> to reflect all the changes that we've made
in 0.6. The goal of the document is not to be a detail tutorial on
how to write a parcel, but to present enough detail so that someone
has a general idea of the process.
I'd love it if a few people could take some time to review it and
suggest improvements.
* PeriodicTask automatically creates a new view, so you don't need the
'createView()' call. 'self.view = item.itsView' is sufficient.
* It would probably be easier to see the schema as a whole if the attribute
definitions were one-liners, given that the definitions are all quite
short. Right now the FeedChannel class can't be read in one screenful.
* It seems like all the init code should be wrapped in a def
installParcel() block; right now that's just alluded to in the text, and it
makes the question of where 'parcel' comes from, and when all the code is
executed, a bit confusing.
* The link at the bottom that says "There is a more detailed tutorial on
the workings of the Feeds parcel that will explain more of the details of
writing a parcel." is actually a link to the same page. :)
