Just a few questions about pylons programming style.
1) h.url_for is a great idiom to generate urls to dynamic
pages. But what should be used to generate links to
*static* resources? There is h.stylesheet_link_tag,
but what should I use to generate links to static HTML,
images, binary files etc?
2) Why split between ./public and ./templates? I find it
somewhat confusing, it is usually easier to keep images
together with the templates which refer to them...
Is it possible to have static controller serving some
files, and template controller handling other files
from the same directory hierarchy (using file
extensions to choose)? Or maybe some other idiom
should be applied?
3) What is the typical approach to generate things like
table of contents, page-list menu etc. Do people tend
to write such things manually? If I would like to
scan my package for files and generate indexes automatically,
should I use pkg_resources, os, or sth else?
4) What about search? Can you recommend some library which
would allow to implement simple search thorough small
site without using google?
5) How would you implement simple constants referred thorough
the site in different templates? At the moment I have sth
like
_const.mako
<%def name="author_name()" buffered="True">Marcin Kasperski</%def>
...
and in actual pages
<%namespace file="_const.html" name="const"/>
...
Autor: ${author_name()}
But ... using functions for simple constants seems to be
overkill. And it seems mako does not handle exporting
non-functions, I can write
<%! author_name = u'Marcin Kasperski' %>
in _const.mako, but I am not able to refer to this variable from
other templates.
Thanks in advance for any reply.
