Florent, See my point above in response to Jonathan. It's all very well giving people the option of choosing components, but having to examine and understand all sorts of different alternatives for model handling, authentication, and so on, is a long way from "Create a database- driven, ready-to-extend application in minutes" and "Front-to-Back Web Development" as the Turbogears web site front page claims. There aren't even decent examples on how to extend your model now that SQLAlchemy is the recommendation and the old tutorials no longer apply; you have to dig around on the SQLAlchemy site for clues. I really wish some consideration was given to the fact that beginners will know almost nothing about SQLAlchemy vs. Elixir vs. SQLObject, or Identity vs. Authkit vs. roll-your-own-with-cookies, etc. It's a lot of auditing work to do before getting started. I suppose I was 'unlucky' in that I started using Elixir because a piece of draft documentation said it was recommended! Had I started at a different time, I might have struggled on with the ugly-but-well-understood plain SQLAlchemy methods and got things working, but there you go. -- Ben Sizer --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
