You can use Genshi prefectly fine in 1.0.2.2. However, TG widgets will still be Kid-based and you'll need to wrap them to display them on Genshi. However, there's a patch at the Trac that does the wrapping automatically. If it's backwards compatible it should be applied to 1.0. Tosca is only needed if you want your widget templates in Genshi. However, I would recommend anyone new into TG to give ToscaWidgets a try since they're more powerful, "fix" some design issues TG widgets have (which became apparent too late when TG's API was frozen for the 1.0 release), and, most importantly, are actively maintained. (disclosure: I'm probably biased regarding TW since I wrote it. However, I wrote lots of TG widgets' code too... you'll have to decide yourself :) > > Do I need to rewrite the templates of the stock widgets > (repeatingwidget, tableform, etc) or can I mix the two template > engines? > I am not sure about this one... You can mix them in these ways: 1) controller A can serve Kid and controller B can serve Genshi 2) TG widget displays Kid on Kid 3) TG widget displays Kid on Genshi (wrapping the widget with ET) 4) TW can be written in any tempate language and displayed on every template language supported by Buffet (the plugin interface that lets you use most python template languages in TurboGears, Pylons, etc...) > > Does the current genshi support <?python ?> blocks already? > I seem to remember genshi is more "procedurally aware" than kid, so > this > should not be an issue. Latest stable release (0.4 IIRC) does support python blocks Alberto --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
