again sorry for the negativeness but those are very hard tasks. > kid2genshi as I said in my other email, this is pointless. yet it's probably the simplest. > sqlobject2sqlalchemy This will require a ton of work. Yet it will be very useful even for people outside the community. Perhaps the simplest path will be moving from SO to SA declarative. > tg2tw This isn't really needed as kid-genshi TW was made as a "re-engineering of the core, with the same interface" so in theory all you need to do is change your imports. > migrateTests not sure what you mean but the testing framework from tg1.x was migrated to tg2, and of course more things where added, that said it should work. As with everything if your app is well covered with tests migration should be a lot simpler. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
