Hi guys,

We've just (almost certainly) chosen Pylons for a quick-and-dirty web
application project. There are just a few outstanding things that we
need to do, which I'm not sure how to approach. Speed is of the
essence
here, so having examples or documentation would be a huge help. I
also
don't have much time for trial-and-error, so opinionated responses
highly appreciated.

  1. We need a fairly heavily AJAXified UI. Is Prototype and the
Railsish web helpers the best way to go?

I'm a little wary of code generation in general and Prototype in
particular, but I'm willing to ignore my instincts if this is the way
people tend to do things. I haven't seen many tutorials or examples
of
alternative approaches, e.g. jQuery or MochiKit. The front page of
pylonshq.com suggests other toolkits are supported, but I can't find
any
more resources. :-/

  2. Specifically, we need an auto-complete widget. I see
Script.aculo.us has one of those, but no corresponding web helper.

How easy would it be to hand-code the use of such a widget? Should I
look for other frameworks instead?

In fact, we need something even more dynamic: the user should use an
auto-complete select box to find items and then press Enter or click
a
button to add it to a dynamically growing list, i.e. letting this act
as
a dynamic, auto-complete multi-select widget.

  3. Are there any example applications that demonstrate the use of
AuthKit (with a custom, in-the-app login form, and sensible
permission/role/user handling and user storage)?

I've seen the AuthKit tutorial, but it uses fairly frivolous examples.

Maybe more questions later... but so far, what we've seen and tested
of
Pylons has been great.  :)

Martin
