It was case mangling which created some unpredictability. Somewhere it had to be userId, UserID, user_id etc. And some things just didn't work as advertised or as "I would expect" (selects with Table.q.FooCol == 4, "attribune FooCol not found"), I might have made some stupid usage mistakes but the fact that it was so easy to make such mistakes was a bit of a warning signal for me. Also a centralized good documentation and reference for "typical use" seemed to be lacking. > PHP programmer I think we had a similar experience.

Yeah, I also had the nagging feeling that I was writing horrible code when I selected a bunch of objects, filtered them on the python side and did more selections based on the processed date. Though that's probably something you can expect with ORM and I don't really mind. > attributes in the py: namespace.

Probably very true; I (and our team, none of whom is a web developer) would have wanted something a bit more relaxed and sloppy. > As a matter of interest, did TG succeed in getting you from A to B in time C? Yes, we're done and all in all it was remarkably easy (esp. compared to my previous experience w/ plain old CGI). It's not that I don't dig the TG way of doing things, it's just that I digged it enough to jump in early and hence couldn't trust some of the options that would have been more "comfortable" for us. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
