[Tutor] TurboGears - and some issues

2005-11-14 Thread Matt Williams
Dear Alan,

I haven't used it, but I've looked through it, and it looks v.
interesting. One of the things I like is that it glues lots of different
bits together (I came across it while looking at SQLObject), and so
benefits from their advances.

This bit is meant as a complimentI was a bit surprised that you hadn't
come across it before, as in general you seem to be one of the core team
on the list (in that you tend to answer rather than ask most questions).

This got me thinking about how we stay up with different, and new,
python projects. I tend to look at the Daily Python URL, as well as some
Technorati and del.icio.us tagged sites/blogs. Where else do other
people look?

Matt

The main places I hear about new stuff are
Planet Python
Python Cookbook
CheeseShop
python-announce

The first three have RSS feeds, the last is a mailing list. See my blogroll for 
URLs and a complete list of blogs I read:
http://personalpages.tds.net/~kent37/blog/

and of course there's comp.lang.python if you have the time for it...

[Tutor] TurboGears - and some issues

2005-11-14 Thread Terry Kemmerer




TurboGears sounds pretty good. But, from the write up, TurboGears appears to be for MAC only. 
Or am I misreading the write up?

I know of them but rarely look.

 CheeseShop

New one on me!

 The first three have RSS feeds, 

But I didn't know that...

 and of course there's comp.lang.python if you have the time for it...

And there's the rub. If I'm not busy I try to scan c.l.p but mostly its 
just too busy. Nonetheless its my primary source of new stuff, its 
fairly easy to scroll down lookling for subjects beginning [Ann:]

However I have to say I'm pretty conservative when it comes to Python 
addons. I don't use many and I only look for them when I have a specific 
need. I only found the TurboGears stuff because someone asked about 
MacOS resources and Apple were highlighting TG on the developer page...
It caught my interest because I'm exploring JSP/Tomcat and Struts 
just now for my day job, so anything related to Web frameworks...

The writeup I posted was Mac focused but the project itself
is multi platform. The downloads page has links to Windows,
Mac and Linux/Unix versions.

CheeseShop is formerly known as PyPI, the Python Package Index. It's a central 
repository for Python add-ons.

If that's all you want from c.l.p it's easier to subscribe to python-announce 
and the cheeseshop feed.

 addons. I don't use many and I only look for them when I have a specific 
 need. 

Maybe we should start a thread of favorite addons. For me, Jason Orendorff's 
path module is definitely #1 on the list, probably followed by Fredrik Lundh's 
ElementTree.

You have my deepest sympathy :-) Maybe you could use TurboGears instead.
