I've used Elixir recently in a wxPython application and would like to
use it with TG2.1. I started a project for my wife back in Jan and
asked about it:
http://groups.google.com/group/sqlelixir/browse_thread/thread/f0b3571f743e12bf/92846550a187be85?lnk=gst&q=tg2#92846550a187be85
I gave up then because Chris Perkins said it wasn't going to be
integrated into TG2 but instead should be its own package and I had
too much trouble trying to make it work (and my wife changed her mind
on what she wanted...). http://trac.turbogears.org/ticket/2293 I
tried the patch that Alex Bodnaru had submitted but as I recall it
wouldn't run properly.
Diez mentioned that he is using it in a recent post and Jonathan
LaCour also said he was using it so maybe I can get farther this
time. Quoting Diez:
"We use it - it is really simple to set up. Just not via build-in
qickstart templates. But all you essentially need to do is to copy a
boiler-plate elixir setup into the generated model files."
There were quite a few changes that Alex Bodnaru had in a patch he had
submitted (the trac link above), if the change is simpler than that
then I would love to try it (or it can be that complicated if it
works :)
The patch is for TG2 itstelf, to create a quickstart option for
elixir. So it's complicated. All you need to do is
- quickstart a TG2 project.
- hook the generated session and metadata into elixir
- declare entities
- ....
- profit!
I placed a simple example here:
http://roggisch.de/ElixirTest.tgz
To use, do
create virtualenv, activat
easy_install TurboGears2 tg.devtools Elixir
unpack
python2.5 setup.py develop # in the unpacked app
paster setup-app development.ini
So, I would appreciate it if I can get some guidance on how difficult
this will be, honestly I am pretty new at this so most choices won't
be obvious. For instance, I'm not sure what the scope of a boiler
plate Elixir setup is? I know how to create a Elixir based model file
for wxPython, how would it be different here?
I don't understand this.
Can I leave the authentication and authorization alone and just use
Elixir with my model files?
You can keep the existing authentication models around, and they
should work of course. I don't know how they interact with Elixir
entities though - in the end, it's all SQLAlchemy. But I haven't tried
that.
Or you create your own model in elixir, and try to coerce repoze.who/
what to use it. To be honest: I stear clear from repoze.who/what if I
can, in fact I created my own tgext.simpleauth framework because I
don't like the design of it. So you need to ask others how to make
that happen. In theory, it's totally customizable. In practice to me
that boils down to implementing everything yourself, while jumping to
quite a few hoops - not worth my time. YMMV, of course!
