Hi,
Just a connected info for the developers:
I use TG for my professional projects. I selected it because we need an
easy/clear scripting language, since we are biologists. Thus I would
like to avoid java or php beside the facts that they are used in a wider
community and their future is more stable.
TG seems to be the best pythonic framework.
However, regularly (once a year; when starting a new project or
upgrading our server), I have a stress because of certain TG properties.
* It can change significantly between versions
* It has a lot of dependency that might be difficult to install in an
older version (older versions of all the matching dependencies; even
freezing with pip does not solve this problem)
* What is its future? Newer versions, newer options, bug fixes, support,
etc. Will TG exist in 2, 3, or 5, or 10 years?
Best regards,
Tamas

Hi Damien,
I'm still reading (although I must admit I skim-read most of the digest
emails). I use TG for my hobby projects, though - so am not overly active :(
Like yourself, I also still consider TG the best of the crop of current
Python web frameworks. Admittedly based on reading through the other
frameworks' docs rather than much hands-on experience with them.
I think with more publicity / evangelising TG could gain more mind-share
and hence also grow a bigger community - I also don't think the problem
is tech related.
Cheers,
C

Hi all,
I worked with turbogears for years, starting in 2008. I always (and
still) feel TG2 is better than other frameworks because :
* it is full-stack and authentication ready (similarly to django)
* it is based on existing solutions like babel, sqlalchemy, genshi
/ mako...
For a few month I face a growing frustration :
* TG2 supports python3 but tgapplications do not
* I'd like to configure my urls like
(@route('/some/path/to/content/<id>') which is not available
(except with tgroute which duplicates standard routes)
But the main frustration is from the following points:
* do not find documentation about what I'd like to do (which is
possible)
* do not find any help about information I do not find in the
documentation.
There are very few people reading the mailing list and I have
several questions with no reply at all.
As I start again to work on professionnal projects using turbogears,
I was thinking about re-activating the community... but I can't help
because I stay myself without any answer.
What about you ? Who is reading this ML ? Who is still working with
TG ? Is there any reason to still work with it (I know that
Alessandro is doing a great job, this is not my point, but using
open source need a community and I feel like there is no TG2
community anymore).
Damien
