Thanks, Alessandro.
I'm very positive to the proposal. I would love if someone already had
done all the work or offered to do it. That would (probably) make it a
no-brainer to accept it and move in that direction.
Short of that, we (the Kallithea community) have to wait for someone
else to offer what is missing ... and each of us have to consider the
pros and cons of whether we will "invest" in it.
Some of the main contributors to Kallithea will meet at the end of the
week - I'm sure we will discuss it there ... and some of us are probably
waiting for that before answering ;-)
Any other thoughts or input from the community would be helpful!

Hi everyone,
I'm Alessandro from TurboGears2 team.
Before Christmas I got in touch with Mads and Andrew regarding the
future of Kallithea and Pylons. As Pylons is now in legacy mode and
won't see much support in future Kallithea would probably have to
consider what to do in the near future.
And that's why I thought about getting in touch with them and they
asked me to also write here.
TurboGears2 has been based on Pylons for years, for that reason TG
apis are very similar to Pylons one (global thread local request,
tmpl_context, app_globals, beaker for caching, SQLA for db and so
on...) but since version 2.3, that introduced Python3 support, the
framework is not based on Pylons anymore and has its own core while
maintaining backward compatibility.
For this reason TurboGears2 might be a good option for Kallithea
future, as the API is very similar to the Pylons one and only routing
would probably require major changes (TurboGears2 uses ObjectDispatch
for routing instead of regex, but there is a tgext.routes module to
use regex routes).
TurboGears2 currently doesn't have a community as big as alternatives
like Django or Flask, but for that precise reason Kallithea would end
up being a flagship project for TG and I would be willing to help as
far as I can with any TG related issue and a possible port.
So I kallithea community is willing to move away from Pylons I'm more
that willing to help with a possible port to TG and I'm sure that TG
would gladly consider Kallithea a first citizen.
