Following Gustavo's message, I started to look into TG2, and it looks very promising. I have started my application with TG 0.9 and ever since, the project had to endure certain heavy migrations: - SQLObject -> SQLAlchemy - SQLAlchemy 0.3 -> SQLAlchemy 0.4 And then there's the heavy usage of custom widgets and CherryPy filters. The filters are crucial to the application for some of the requirements. I strongly beleive I can do all this with Middleware, but I need to go back and do some studies about how this is done. So for me, this means that there are three major migrations on the doorstep yet again: - SQLAlchemy 0.4 -> 0.5 (although this looks simpler than the 0.3 to 0.4 migration) - "Old-Style" widgets -> ToscaWidgets - CherryPy Filters -> WSGI Middleware Looking at what needs to be done, I beleive I will quickstart a "vanilla" TG2 project and migrate things step-by-step. And this task will be huge for me (considering the data store has some 30+ DB tables already migrating the model is daunting). But from what I see, I will rip off some huge benefits from the migration. Most of all, better RESTful support (using RestController?). And this is something I need to implement quite quickly. Also the caching that is promised by TG2 should solve some shortcomings in my current app. I really can't wait to get the I-feel- at-home-feeling (that I currently have for TG1) in TG2 Anyhow, I started to play with the Wiki20 tutorial, which immediately didn't work :( First, it complained about a SecureController, then when quickstarting it *with* username/password support, it worked, but the promised "manager"/"managepass" account was not there. But I beleive, these issues are already discussed elsewhere and this would go way off topic so I'll just wait for a new release and test and test and test :] But so far, from what I've seen, TG2 looks *awesome*. I'll just need to wrap my head around ToscaWidgets and WSGI to get my app working, but that should not be too difficult :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
