[tg-trunk] Re: Supported Template Engines
I feel that the mako support is just as good as genshi, in terms of the framework code. I primarily use mako for it's concise syntax and speed. I have built master/index for mako and would be happy to publish them, but I have received a bit of pushback from the TG2 team whilst recommending adding them to the quickstart template (no one wants to be responsible for their maintenance, although I volunteered for the job). The mako version of quickstart is 400% faster for the index page, and it speeds up the Admin pages by about 50%. cheers. -chris On May 14, 4:07 pm, cd34 mcd...@gmail.com wrote: Mako and Cheetah seem to have rudimentary support, but, aren't well supported.

[tg-trunk] Re: Templating: .mak vs .mako vs Genshi
.mak is also what TW uses, so there might be some historical justification for using .mak I personally +1 the effort to move over to .mako, and could/would make the change in TW to match. cheers. -chris On May 14, 10:27 pm, Jorge Vargas jorge.var...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 3:00 AM, Seth seedifferen...@gmail.com wrote: I've been lurking in the #turbogears channel from time-to-time and have observed some discussion of whether future TG releases should have genshi or mako set as the default templating engine. Having never tried Mako in a TG setting, I decided to fire up a new TG 2 test app to mess around with TG+Mako. I had the hardest time, however, figuring out why TG wouldn't load my *.mako templates; until I saw a post somewhere stating that TG uses .mak as its Mako extension, not .mako. This is a bug/anti-feature of TW and the very old Buffet stuff. To be honest I don't remember why anymore. IMO they should be switch to .mako they just need someone to do the work. But it needs to be fixed in TW and TG. Weird. Why is this? Is there a simple config variable somewhere to make it load *.mako instead? (yes I'm lazy and would rather keep the same file extension for my pylons and tg mako templates) no, there is no config. .mak shouldn't be anyway. Also on a side note: I've noticed that the default TG 2 setup.py's message_extractors line looks like it's matching '*.mako'. Is this a bug? Most likely. But the bug is .mak Thanks, Seth --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TurboGears Trunk group.

[tg-trunk] Re: Supported Template Engines
I am fine with adding them to quickstart in 2.1 as an option. In fact I think that could be very useful. I think there are some concerns about the complexity of the QS template, and I think that we do need to be mindful of that, but supporting Mako out of the box is an important goal. --Mark Ramm On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 10:24 AM, percious ch...@percious.com wrote: I feel that the mako support is just as good as genshi, in terms of the framework code.
