I think up to date samples and examples are needed, and just as badly, to *get rid* of the out of date stuff. It is very easy for experienced developers not to remember how frustrating it is for a new user to try something out from a site and have it not work for unknown reasons. I tried checking out tosca widgets tonight, and I think I know TG widgets fairly decently, and well, I don't even know where to start. The sample code I found won't even import. from toscawidgets.widgets.forms import DataGrid from toscawidgets.widgets.forms.samples import AddUserForm I know this is a "known issue", but seriously, I have no idea where to start. I feel like I should look for something resembling TG widget usage, but where? :/ Ok, that's it for tonights rambles. Dessert now!
