[checking my watch] It's not April 1st so this must be true. Reminds me of ZDjangoGears and the joke that ultimately became Parrot. This is great news for Python web interpoerability! Pylons users will benefit from having access to a TG-style dispatcher and decorators for validation, JSON, etc., without having to make a wholesale choice between one framework or the other. I do think Django is on a dead-end road with its "not invented here" structure, and eventually it will have to become more interoperable and component-sharing somehow. But that's up to the Django developers to decide.
Mark and John, the two things I'm most concerned about are the SQLAlchemy and templating interfaces, both of which are in flux in Pylons. I just want to make sure we're on the same page as far as their direction goes. Have you seen my work on SAContext and Smorgasbord, and do they look like something TG can build upon? What compatibility issues do you see, and how much compatibility with TG 1 are you willing to break? SAContext has been performing well and I think it's close to stability. It hasn't been officially accepted into Pylons yet but there's consensus that pylons.templating is inadequate and I haven't seen any other proposal. It's proven trivial to drop SAContext into an existing Pylons application (one variable definition and two search-and-replaces) so I expect the same will be true for TG applications. I'm not sure whether the module will be called pylons.database or pylons.database.sqlalchemy or something like that, but that'll be just a matter of changing imports. Templating is a bigger issue so I'll start a separate thread for that. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
