I do most of my development on two different machines, one a desktop running Ubuntu, the other a laptop running OS X. This means that my SQLite database ends up in two different locations depending on which machine I'm working on: /home/rmunn/projects/... on Ubuntu, or /Users/rmunn/projects/... on OS X. This makes specifying the full path for the sqlobject.dburi configuration variable a little tricky, as the full path varies from moment to moment depending on which machine I'm sitting in front of. I don't want to clutter up my SVN repository logs with dozens of meaningless dev.cfg changes; what I really want is a way to access pkg_resources.resource_filename() from within dev.cfg, so that I can just bundle a "data.db" file with my project egg.
I could override the sqlobject.dburi value from my code instead of from inside dev.cfg. The problem with this approach, however, is that tg-admin code reads dev.cfg to find the database location, which means CatWalk (among other things) will fail to find my database, which is annoying. I just want to check out my code on any of my development machines -- Linux, Mac, or Windows -- and have it "just work". Anyone else facing this problem?
