As a TurboGears user, I am very interested in the possible migration of TurboGears to a Pylons base. It seems to me that Pylons is headed in the direction that TurboGears wants to/should be, but is unencumbered by the legacy of TurboGears' initial publicity and fame.
I wonder, however, if TurboGears is to be reimplemented on top of Pylons, what is TurboGears? Is it simply a specific configuration of Pylons? Is it a helper module that makes Pylons behave with TurboGears- like defaults? Is it a migration script that helps developers migrate TG-1.x projects? ~jon On Jun 25, 7:50 am, Jonathan LaCour <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sylvain Hellegouarch wrote: > > Indeed and I was very happy to learn about the integration but I found > > that a bit randomly, it's too bad that there hasn't been a clearer and > > wider announcement about it.
