as I said rum is a wsgi app, so it runs standalone, rumAlchemy <your dburi> is enough. to try it out. As for the integration (running in the same process, theme sharing, etc.) that's another story, you could base yourself on the tg2 sample app. > > My impression of Django's admin was that, once you've replaced the native > ORM, you no longer "get it for free." That still holds true, no? yes, django admin is tied into django ORM. On the contrary rum has interfaces to use other ORMs, but so far it only has a SQLAlchemy backend. The same hold s true for catwalk2. Just to be clear, all 3 of these tools provide some how the same feature set of django admin. they are NOT django they are 100% TG/pylons code. Both use as base ToscaWidgets which ones was TruboGears widgets, catwalk2 and tgext.admin build on top of a second framework call sprox (which is somehow like formalchemy), The difference between the three is really set in internal components and some design issue, but to the end use they all should be quite alike. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
