I'm sorry to say this but it is. if you look at the shell code. it loads your tg project and it loads your config. http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/browser/tags/1.0b1/turbogears/command/base.py#L173
although your code provides an external config file which will be a nice addition. patches accepted :D on the other hand I do agree with you that we should provide a similar functionality to prepopulate data say a dump of the db. so you can dump all the content of a db and load it up on another one but this is already provided at the db layer so it's not a priority. the thing is that a prepopulated model will be a) a small languaje saying to object A add entries b,c,d, etc. b) a bunch of SO "inserts" which is well using an input file and we are back to where we starter. you may get an example of this at http://diplomacy.python-hosting.com/file/trunk/data.sql.py but don't look at the rest I haven't had time to work on that > # encoding: utf-8 > package_name = 'bobsyouruncle' > you may also want to replace that line with. the tools in turbogears.util like get_package_name() and get_model() --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
