I was exagerating. I'm against supporting each and every database out there. I'm not sure if I like the idea of supporting sqlite. > +1 to keeping SQLite as the default, always-supported database, > though, because 1) for Python 2.5, it becomes a no-op, and 2) it > enables examples and demos to work out of the box, with zero head > scratching for users. That's not the case, for example, with Rails. The problem is that it's not easy to get the latest version of Python 2.4 in a lot of Linux distributions, from what I heard it isn't available by default with Macs, windows users already have to download Python... So, supporting something based on an assumption that it is nice with Python 2.5 is not a good reason to me. It will take a long time to have it supported on hosting companies, bundled by default with Linux distributions and Macs. Other unices (*BSD) have a similar problem to Linux. On the other hand, I'm +1 for a package that install pysqlite + sqlite. Something like a "TurboDemo", "TurboQuickStart" or something like that. But not within TG itself. -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
