Nice effort! Anyhow, while I appreciate the web.py helper libs cleanup, I do see the danger that your fork might become "Turbogears Lite".
You are right, there are 10+ specialized form processors that are superior to web.py forms, 10+ template languages that are more powerful than web.py templetor etc. But when you factor out all these libs, the user will end in the turbogears dilemma: that he has to learn not 1, but 4, 5 Frameworks to get his job done (plus the syntactic sugar to connect them). IMHO the USP of web.py is that you can quickly build some site prototype, run it, and then slowly replace the necessary components. I'd have difficulties with this rapid prototyping if I needed to understand 4 frameworks for the most basic tasks. Quoting Adam Atlas: "Django lets you write web apps in Django. TurboGears lets you write web apps in TurboGears. Web.py lets you write web apps in Python." -- Franz On 3 Mai, 19:56, Alice Zoë Bevan–McGregor <[email protected]> wrote: > Howdy! > > On 2-May-09, at 12:45 PM, jlist9 wrote: > > > What you did with web.py looks interesting.
