Well, this completely changes my point of view. I was assuming that the dev team sees no chance for supporting sqlobject in tg2 and that is why I didn't even raise this issue and that is why I was assuming sqlobject will only live with tg1. But if building sqlobject support into tg2 is not a big deal, then I foresee a different path for myself: instead of using 1.1, 1.5 and a possibly forked future project based on tg1, I'd switch to tg2 as soon as sqlobject support is there. I assume this would be true to any tg1 user who is locked into sqlobject but is not locked into tg1 itself like cherrypy and such. Templating is not a concern for me, I've been using kid but I guess even though tg2 doesn't have kid as the default, it will continue to support it. Hey, I'll keep an eye much more on tg2 now that the possibility of an sqlobject-tg2 combo has been raised :) Cheers, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
