We are getting ready to embark on porting a bunch of old code ( and

share that we should be aware of ahead of time?
As the implementor of template-python, I'm probably the person with
most
serious work under my belt--the most that I know of, anyway. While
I haven't yet attempted to convert any sizeable Perl-TT project to
Python, I did document every potential gotcha I could think of in
the file README.python, located at the top of the Python source
distribution. I'd encourage you to read that file carefully. Other
than that, all of the inline POD documentation from the Perl source
code has been carried over into the Python source code, suitably
translated into the Python paradigm. It can be read either by
browsing the source code, or (as noted in README.python) by the
built-in help feature of the interactive Python interpreter. For
example:
>>> import template.stash
>>> help(template.stash.Stash)
... documentation for the Stash class ...
If you come across any problems I didn't foresee, I'd be happy to
help you resolve them. You can contact me privately, or--more
preferably--bring up any issues here on the mailing list.
Thanks Sean,
I did read the README.python and it was very thorough and informative,
I always just like to check.
When this part rolls around in 6-12 weeks, if we hit any snags, I'll
be back.
I guess we get to be a trial case on this.
