That's great news. I've seen this topic of multiple webware servers with a common sessionstore quite a few times, which is important for robustness/reliability. Do you use session affinity (ie. if you started on server n°X you stay on server n°X for the the whole duration of the session) or is

I just wanted to mention, since it's been brought up, that I have taken the time integrate Pyro (pyro.sourceforge.net) into Webware for the purpose of spaning Webware across multiple machines. I have a rough version already in production use, where I have three inter-linked applications running un

I'm sorry for the asciigram of my class hierarchy being all messed up in my previous post. (Looked fine in Mozilla Thunderbird but I must have used some tabs between spaces. Everything is scrambled and unreadable.) Also I may have stated more clearly the goal (which must be obvious anyway) : '

I absolutely agree with your comments at the bottom about the state of web frameworks with python. It's not clear to me how to organize it to make it happen though, other than to keep stating it until everyone agrees. Especially, I wish we had more Webware releases. I suppose I could just do it

For what it's worth I'm happy to share my way to use Cheetah with Webware. Comments are welcome. Starting with some facts: 1. The only way to have powerfull but well-structured Cheetah templates is to use inheritance (#extends). 2. The only way to have FormKit (or any other form kit that rely o
