re "too pythonic" I don't mean that as a bad thing. I think its great, and python developers need something that is comfortable to them. But people who build frameworks often get into a mire of their own language , and it makes it difficult for others to adopt ( re: subway , twisted web for the first year or so it was around ). I'm all for the strength and flexibilty of doing things in the idiomatic python fashion - but I also think its almost a necessity to keep things accessible/extensible/flexible for others.
In any event, I submitted an exceedinly bad patch to Trac (svn diff against trunk) here http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/ticket/780 Essentially it does this: app.cfg gets an 'account_identifier' switch, which can be user_name or user_email, and one configures what account_identifier is in the form identity/visitor.py does all the form magic based on account_identifier identity/**provider.py user_name and user_email are both made to allow null characters (perhaps this can be different based on app.cfg settings)? internally is looks up what the account identifier is, and does an identity load that is either user_name based or user_email based also, i bumped up user_name to 255 chars - all the other fields were 255, and 16chars for id is just too small (what if the name was supposed to be an email address or derivitive of one, that could be something like 132 chars based on rfc ) hopefully someone more familiar with me can take a look and improve that code. it should give everyone more flexibility and be 100% backwards compatible. i was just unable to figure out how items from the config file are read ( i assumed they were provided as globals within a module's namespace , i thought it might have been the 'get' function, but that seemed to be more for form reading) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
