What I have in mind is something similar (AJAX + innerHtml) but providing a large "scratchbox" textarea where you can implement (or copy paste) a widget. This code, when asynchrnously submitted, would get compiled into a module and any widget found ( by dir(mod) ) would be displayed in that div. The motivation behind this is that it would be ultra-cool to be able to write a widget interactively and see the results in real time. No need to restart the toolbox, not following bunch of lines of html soup in ipython, etc... Tweaking params is nice, but writing the *whole* widget is nicer ;) My .2€ Alberto --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
