feature request: Bonjour support

2006-10-16 Thread evariste
One thing I really love about TurboGears, that would make developing in Django that much sweeter, would be Bonjour support. It looks like a pretty trivial piece of code in TurboGears's startup.py file, but I'm extremely new to Django and wouldn't know where to start adding it myself. --~--~-

You're probably going to have to elaborate a bit further. What exactly is "bonjour support" ? Does it have anything to do with the technology formerly known as Rendezvous in OS X (more commonly known as ZeroConf)? -- Clint Ecker | STONE WARD 440 N. Wells, Suite 750, Chicago, IL 60610 Boston | [

The technology formerly known as Rendezvous, yes. When you start a turbogears project with start-projectname.py, tg tells Bonjour of its existence and you can view it simply by pulling it down from the Bonjour menu in Safari's Bookmarks Bar. If the project is stopped, the site is removed from Bonj

Hi, There is a pyzeroconf module [1] and it seems pretty easy to use [2]. Just find in the code where it does assign the IP address, and insert the 15 lines you need to advert the service. Should be pretty easy. Now, the problemis, Django tries to use as little dependencies as possible, and this

Not to mention it's only going to satisfy an extremely small niche. How many people are actually developing Django apps in Safari on OS X? Most developers I know on OS X (myself and my office included) aren't using Safari in any capacity. Seems like adding complexity and dependencies for no good

Turbogears just uses the command line tools if they are available, no need to drag in any library dependencies. Another advantage of this approach is that it works on any platform with the bonjour command line tools, not just the mac. You can see it in action here: http://www.turbogears.org/svn/t

That is cool. Especially if there is no extra library dependency. It is these little "nice to haves" that can add that extra bit of polish to Django. On Oct 17, 10:24 am, Cheng Zhang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Oct 17, 2006, at 11:50 PM, Michael Twomey wrote: > > > Turbogears just uses the

Clint-You sound skeptical of the utility of adding Bonjour. I'll try to reason why I think it's important for Django to have this. Is Django competing for mindshare among web developers? Every little bit of polish matters. TurboGears already has this, and you can bet that as Apple integrates Rail
