Actually, the original idea of MVC would be that the View pulls the data it needs from the Model, which is exactly what Boštjan seems to be attempting. More recently, people have mischaracterised MVC as having the Controller be some sort of mediator between the View and the Model. (http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/uiArchs.html). Personally I find the original way makes more sense: the View knows which aspects of the Model it needs to display and queries for them accordingly, and the Controller just handles input logic, not having to concern itself with which parts of the Model it needs to expose to the View. Controllers and Views can vary independently. But yes, certainly this way is not the TurboGears way, which is fair enough. -- Ben Sizer --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
