[Webware-discuss] packages and import confusion

[Peter Lyons]

I'm getting confused and I'm hoping maybe someone can clarify this for 
me.  Here's what I'd ideally like to achieve in terms of code organization:

app_work_dir/lib/myapp
    root of python package hierarchy for myapp
app_work_dir/lib/myapp/model
    business logic classes, reusable in non-Webware situations
app_work_dir/lib/myapp/webui
    abstract servlets that don't generate content, only hold shared code
app_work_dir/lib/myapp/webui/templates
    compiled cheetah templates used by servlets
app_work_dir/webware_context
   my context root, where my servlets live. Servlets inherit from stuff 
in the "myapp.webui" package, and also import and instantiate templates 
from "myapp.webui.templates"

I'm having two problems getting this running.  First, ideally, I'd like 
my urls to start "/wk/myapp". However, I've noticed that webware makes 
"myapp" into a module, so it confilcts with the "myapp" under the lib 
directory, and if I try to do "import myapp.webui" I get no such module. 
 I'm willing to rename my context module, though if necessary.

The second one is even if a pick a unique name for my context, I am 
having problems. Specifically, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./WebKit/Application.py", line 415, in dispatchRequest
  File "./WebKit/Application.py", line 563, in handleGoodURL
  File "./WebKit/Application.py", line 1047, in createServletInTransaction
  File "./WebKit/Application.py", line 990, in getServlet
  File "./WebKit/ServletFactory.py", line 197, in servletForTransaction
AssertionError
when I access this url: "/wk/myappnewname/home"

Here is my "home" servlet:
--------------------------------
from myapp.webui import baseservlet
class home(baseservlet):
    pass
----------------------------------


My class "baseservlet" extends WebKit.Page. It fails this assertion:

assert type(theClass) is ClassType \
or isinstance(theClass, type)
Any advice?

Thank you,

Pete
