I'm reluctantly giving up on turbogears / python for web stuff for the
time being :(
There are just too many missing functionalities that I need to
accomplish certain tasks - and perl has them already built into CPAN
modules or frameworks that are mature.
I'm way behind on a time sensitive deadline, and I don't have any more
time to extend and patch framework level functionality, so I need to
cut my losses with python and just give up and get this project back on
track.
That said, i was working on 2 functions/libraries that I planned on
finalizing for public release, and I believe some people on here were
already using them from my svn repo. Obviously, i won't have the
ablity to finalize them now, so perhaps someone wants to take over?
Here are the items:
TurboGears Email Wrapper
http://dev.2xlp.com/svn/turbogears_extensions/turboemail/
pros:
works with sendmail + smtp
wraps a stdlib email object
sends plaintext , html or plain+html multipart
input can be raw string or templates piped to tg.view.render()
cons:
the wrapping doesn't handle headers, and the email object is
inaccesible.
needed for public release:
make the email a private object and fully expose the stdlib
features. have defaults/sending/rendering/etc based on tg
make a plugin or integrate into TG
TurboGears Captcha
http://dev.2xlp.com/svn/another_python_captcha/
pros:
session based , time expired cookies using a mathmatical
function to provide authentication / solve
can be used independant as a stand-alone server, using
get/post/json to create and validate keys
cons:
built on cherrypy, should be abstracted
does not handle 1time use keys internally, but a
pre-validation check can do that
needed for public release:
abstract from cherrypy, make fully independant
If anyone wants them, let me know so I can freeze them in the svn repo
and xfer to you the appropriate licensing for it. I don't like tossing
libraries into a public domain on a free-for-all, as I think current
contact info for a maintainer is pretty much essential in case of a
discovered security flaw.
