[pydotorg-www] Help with mailing lists?

2014-12-23 Thread Ned Batchelder
Sorry if this is the wrong list to write to. You'll see why I'm here in 
just a minute.


I needed some help with some mail lists at mail.python.org: I need a 
password reminder, but never got one, and I have some questions about 
creating a new list.


The page at http://mail.python.org says, If you are having trouble 
using the lists, please contact mail...@python.org 
mailto:mail...@python.org, so I sent my questions there.


I got an automated response email that said that no one will answer, and 
to write to postmas...@python.org.  I forwarded my questions there.


I got an automated response email in German that said to send requests 
to postmas...@charite.de. So I forwarded my questions there.


I got an automated response email (in German and English!) that said, 
Thank you for your email. We'll work on email issues right away, all 
other issues will be ignored.  I don't know if my questions are 
considered email issues or not, so I don't know how long to wait before 
trying something else.


What should I do now?  Any ideas who I can contact? Things seem broken 
on a number of levels.


Thanks, :( :(

Did you request this via the Mailman interface ? Perhaps it
got eaten by a spam filter.

Note that some MLs on python.org have the monthly reminders turned
off, so for those you need to request the reminder via the Mailman
list interface.

postmas...@python.org should be able to help you with ML issues.

That said, it's holiday season now, so don't you can't really expect
the usual prompt reaction times of our postmasters :-)

I just tried it with the 'playground' mailing list and it worked just fine.  I
got the password reminder within minutes.  FWIW, the playground list is just
that, a dummy list that the postmasters can use to experiment with the live
Mailman system on mpo.  I'm not sure why you haven't gotten you password
reminder.

The page at http://mail.python.org says, If you are having trouble using the

sent my questions there.

That's pretty much a canned listinfo overview page.  We could hack that to
explicitly name postmas...@python.org.  mail...@python.org is the site list,
and until just now, only myself and Ralf were members of that list, and my
delivery is disabled.  I just added postmas...@python.org to that mailing
list, so it should forward everything to the postmasters.

I got an automated response email that said that no one will answer, and to
write to postmas...@python.org.  I forwarded my questions there.

Yep, that's Mailman's replybot.

I got an automated response email in German that said to send requests to
postmas...@charite.de. So I forwarded my questions there.

Yep, that's probably Ralf's replybot. ;)

postmas...@python.org is the right place ultimately for all things email for
python.org.  I'm not sure whether the postmasters read pydotorg-www.  As MAL
points out, it's the typical slow holiday season, so response may be delayed.

Cheers,

Re: [pydotorg-www] web frameworks page feedback

2014-12-23 Thread Alan Evangelista

I noticed a recent change to the
https://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks that moved Grok (I
framework I helped found) down from the popular frameworks. I agree
with that move; it's not been popular for a while now and was never as
popular as, say, Pyramid or Flask are now.


I was the one responsible for that change.


* Frameworks that I consider are big and get a lot of attention such
as Flask and Pyramid do not come under any popular heading. But they
are very popular, and right now they're ranked with obscure things
like BlueBream or Aquarium. I don't think this reflects the state of
the Python community. If you're going to do popularity stuff at all,
why not list some of the popular non-full stack frameworks?


+1. I have mentioned before this here in this mailing list. I'll create 
a popular subsection

for the non-full-stack frameworks.



* Why are some frameworks in a table format (which gives them more
attention, I think) and some not? I can see doing so for popular
frameworks, but why do it for some other full stack frameworks and
some not?


+1. imho everything could be in table format, just need someone to do it.

Also, I'd keep only summary and last version number/release date and
a link to frameworks features comparison in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_application_frameworks#Python_2 
.
imho comparing some well-defined criteria such as activity/size of open 
source community
and list of features is the best way to compare web frameworks, 
otherwise the discussion

is subjective.



* A framework like wheezy.web is considered full stack and is
highlighted in a table as such. I appreciate wheezy.web, but I really
think this is unfair to frameworks like Pyramid and Flask, which offer
more or less the same facilities. You can argue they offer some of
them through extensions, but so does wheezy.web. If you're going to
say wheezy.web is full stack, then so are Pyramid and Flask.


I agree wheezy.web should be moved to non-full-stack framework section.

imho a full-stack framework should have:
- WSGI support
- HTTP request parsing
- HTTP response generation helpers
- form, cookies and sessions handling
- URL routing
- separation of UI and application logic code (usually MVC support)
- templating
- caching
- persistent data access
- authentication and authorization
- security helpers
- internationalization
- management of static files (static from the perspective of the server).

Most web frameworks rely on an external popular ORM to handle persistent 
data access

(most often SQLAlchemy) and thus are not full-stack frameworks.

imho we should either (1) have a clear definition of what a full-stack 
framework is
in the wiki and reorganize the lists to follow that or (2) remove the 
distinction
between full-stack and non-full-stack frameworks and simply point to a 
features comparison

list.

Alan Evangelista

 Yes, I requested it with the button on the page.  Nothing in the
