Those little beasts are roughly small eggs that provide easy to defined functionalities. In the case of JS libraries this is just a small wrapper that provides js files to a python program through pkg_resources interfaces. Then there was a need to evolves and be able to use different templating engines. Alberto and Michele decided to co-design and implement better widgets that would enable us to do this and overcome some of the difficulties of the current widgets implementation. ToscaWidgets are the offspring of this effort. The future of widgets is ToscaWidgets, the current widgets (because of ecosystem) is still tg widgets. But you can use ToscaWidgets right now with TG1 and TG2 and even Pylons if you want. Widgets are not about Ajax, they are about providing small, reusable, pluggable components to speed-up development time once you grasp how they work. > thanks > André No problem, Florent. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
