I see that you have already gotten much advice, let me share my setup which is slightly different. I have been using it to develop a javascript web application for handing job applications. There is only one controllers.py which contain: RootController PersonController DocumentController CompanyController ContractController I dont know if there is a right way to divide your functionality into controllers. In my case, each controller (except for the RootController) maps to a database table. The controllers are used by the javascript frontend to send and receive JSON:ified XmlHttpRequests and they basically only acts as a thin layer doing validation and smoothing out the ugly realities of the database so that the javascript doesn't see it. The javascript application is written using qooxdoo which is a totally kickass web gui toolkit. > I have a controllers.py that must be 1000 lines now, and it is just > getting a bit long.

As I said, I don't know the right way to create controllers. But an "add_entry_controller" doesn't make any sense to me. IMHO controllers are classes and as such they should be subjects and represent some kind of object. "add entry" is more of a verb and sounds like a name I would give a method instead. -- mvh Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
