I already replied on IRC but here is it again. Doing this today is a lot simpler than 1 year ago, specially because of all the great work pylons people (Mike Orr, and others) put into this. So I really believe all that's needed now is someone to get his hands dirty and just do it. potential pitfalls - hitting the 1k file limit (some tg components aren't zippable) - you will need to fork quickstart - will need a dedicated maintainer in order to enter trunk now the hard question is it worth it? from all TG2 feature the only thing you get in appengine is the object dispatch as - ORM = gone, probably not worth doing a SA-appengine backend - repoze.* = fixable, maybe doing a repoze.who.plugins.appengine and repoze.what.plugins.appengine is worth it. - ToscaWidgets = hard to get working, I saw some complains about it's use of pkg_resources in their list - sprox = fixable, you will need to add appengine backend - templating engines = fixable, last I heard all of them will crawl if you don't use the C extension. may be wrong here. so in general is appengine really good? don't it imposes way too many constraints? and is it worth to port all that to work there with (or without forking them) ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
