Spring Python 0.6.0, the python offshoot of the Spring framework and Spring Security, has been released (http:// springpython.webfactional.com).
See http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=184275&package_id=214366&release_id=624328 for more details. BTW, if you click on the release notes link, there is a report pulled from JIRA (our new bug tracking software) showing the issues. For more details, you have to create an account at jira.springframework.org, and then surf to Spring Python. There, you can see it all nicely bundled at http://jira.springframework.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10270&fixfor=11085. Spring Python is moving forward in tremendous ways! Working with the build team in England, we have gotten things integrated with a continuous integration server. See http://build.springframework.org/browse/EXT, and then surf into the Spring Python parts to see our results. This is great! Just check out http://build.springframework.org/browse/EXT-PYQUICK-19 for archived sample of the success of this project. If you look closely, you may notice that MySQL and PostGreSQL test cases have been commented out. That is because we don't have support for those RDBMS's on CI at this point in time. Don't be alarmed. I have run tests with and without thos test suites, and the difference in code coverage is 85% vs. 83%. Hopefully, in the future, we can get an integration environment that includes those tests as well. This project focuses on quality. That is why I started this project using TDD practices and intend to proceed in this fashion. By integrating with CI, we now have true visibility into this. Another goal is to get code coverage metrics captured. Tools have been updated and show a measurement of 83% at this point in time. I don't know the industry average, but I'm willing to bet it is way below that. I am personally test infected, and I want to see the number higher. The next immediate thing is to update Spring Python to support CherryPy 3.1. We are way behind and need to catch up. I have been working with Sylvain, author of "CherryPy Essentials: Rapid Python Web Application Development", and we are close to getting PetClinic and all the supporting components of Spring Python working. This is exciting because integrating with 3rd party web frameworks opens doors for Spring Python. Have any ideas of where you think Spring Python can go?
