Hey, Its in-house (mostly all python) automation framework for builds&releases, and other process specific tasks (and acts a the interface between test and releas automation). Its all up and running as it is, and is doing a great job. So, I;m doing some feature development now that the foundation is up and running. The way I made layout the code structure means there is no separation beween blueLite (the automation) and web2py.. one can work on its own independently from the other if needed (but made to work together). I can launch web2py (the web app0 and serve applications, and those applications that act as front end to blueLite make reference to the blueLite modules s well.
So, it came as a surprise a little while when different team had asked to use the framework, but the ask mad lit of sense to. Since the whole thing is basically "dump to ds and run", new uses are coming up. Teams use it for continues build/integration in their sandboxes, dev folks use it on there desktop or laptop, and this a support fully, because they try to match as close as possible the actual production environment, and that often starts with the tooling. Some of the folks that want to make use of it and that are not that technical, find that having to launch a webApp + browser intimidated (even though its not)... so, pyQT can quell that "fear" of os the unknown for them. its the same thing really, but... the idea of having the ability to verify dev/build data on someone's desktop is quite appealing to them. The setup os the same, but the server part becomes invisible... almost like giving someone a placebo... as long as they believe it ;) So, s mentioned, when we will be able to dump a fully deployable web2py (as in dump and deploy, one click), things should start to get interesting :) so it ends up like this: they use a browser (that doesn't look like a browser - actually a browser that doesn't enable browsing), and they are happy... the only requirement is that they install python, which they can download internally n=on the corporate network, with a nice page with very simple instruction, to the letter (which always makes me giggle, because some are so focused on the litte detail that don;t make much of a difference ;)). You ever hear of the Peter principle? this is it, at its best! :) Mart :) On Jan 21, 1:23 pm, Jason Brower <encomp...@gmail.com> wrote: > What product are you making.
