Hi gasolin,
There is no real reason to maintain the module declaration if you can
be assured that no other variable or function will overwrite expose.
In your sample, there isn't a problem. But, cherrypy has an expose
method, so if you did:
from turbogears import expose, controllers
from cherrypy import *
class Root(controllers.RootController):
@expose()
def index(self):
return "Hello World!"
You would be using cherrypy.expose, rather than turbogears.expose.
Generally speaking it's probably best not to use import * unless you
are sure of what that will bring in to your namespace.
And hey, if you are just going for sheer brevity:
from turbogears import expose as e, controllers as c
class R(c.RootController):
@e()
def index(s):
return "Hello World!"
Now I've thrown down the gauntlet, and someone will be sure to
implement this in two lines. :-)
