After trying to do everything by myself I finally decided to pass to
TurboGears.
I'm doing a quite easy application that must manipulate an address
book:
- take some initial data from an ldap tree
- store them in a database (sqlalchemy is perfect already)
- allows search/manipulation/exportation and so on and synchronize
only a few things on the original ldap tree
Now I've already ported many things to turbogears but I have some
doubts:
1. Form and validation
The declarative way used by sqlalchemy is nice but elixir is much
more expressive, could I use also that maybe?
Another nice thing in elixir is that I can simply create parent/son
classes and the SQL is generated accordingly...
The same thing looks much more complex in DeclarativeStyle.
For example I have a class Entry, which has many OneToMany
relations with other things
class Entry(DeclarativeBase):
__tablename__ = 'entries'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
addresses = relation('Address', backref='user')
...
class Address(DeclarativeBase):
__tablename__ = 'addresses'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
post_code = Column(Unicode)
But for example all those "multiple fields" have something in
common, like the description or if they're default values or not.
What would the best approach here?
2. Development & git
I normally use git+emacs to develop and it's really cool, but in
this framework world I don't understand if
- I should add everything to my repository
- I should just add files I'm modifying
Is there a smarter way (maybe with mercurial is also fine) to
manage software development using turbogears?
Anyone also using zc.buildout for deployment or just the setup.py
is fine?
