Sounds like a good idea, but I don't use either of those parts of Pylons so my opinion doesn't matter much here :) > > Whether it's in the main book or in a second book about optional > > packages, we should describe Genshi, both because it's a > > representative of the XML-parsed templates and because it has features > > Myghty/Mako don't that users may need. > > Another faint reason for including some treatment of Genshi is that > the ToscaWidgets PylonsTWSample uses Genshi as the default widget > template --- but that may change, of course. As someone that's perfectly happy with Genshi + Pylons I'd say this is a very good idea. Genshi works very well for us. It makes it very fast for us to move from an XHTML mockup to working code, and our designers are comfortable with the syntax for doing updates. They really like that most of the time they can test and tweak templates without having a web server installed or checking something in. I'm not and have never been interested in Myghty/Mako and that initially detracted me from Pylons. I didn't even try Pylons until I saw a guide to using Genshi with Pylons. After trying it I immediately decided to port my existing code and haven't looked back. -bob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
