I hope the following helps explain the separation for an MVC design I
described earlier. It's really just off the top of my head, so please
forgive any minor errors/typos. The general structure is the idea I'm
trying to get across.
I have used a structure very similar to the code below, with good
results. I know it's not the only way to do things, but it has served me
well.

my_servlet.py
--------------
# my_servlet.py could also be a psp page, I'm sure, but since I don't
really have any experience with psp...
from WebKit.Page import Page
from some.other.place import MyGenericAPI # a facade class that offers a
static API for business logic
class my_servlet(Page):
# preAction and postAction are changed to ensure that actions don't
write anything out to the screen (they just set state for writeHTML())
def preAction(self,name):
pass
def postAction(self):
self.writeHTML()
def actions(self):
return Page.actions() + ['login']
def login(self):
login_id = self.request().fields().get('login_id','').strip()
passwd = self.request().fields().get('login_pw','').strip()
api = MyGenericAPI() # this could be implemented in some site
page as an attribute of the class
good_login,err_msg = api.VerifyLogin(login_id,passwd)
if good_login is True:
# use sendRedirectAndEnd so that we won't call writeHTML again
self.response().sendRedirectAndEnd('the_next_page_after_login.py')
else:
self.displayMessage = err_msg # this could be more elegant,
but this is an example, right?
# this action will now fall out to writeHTML
def writeContent(self):
# best way:
#render_template_for_this_page(self.displayMessage,blah,blah,whatever)
# slightly more straightforward but harder to maintain way:
# (I've left out the css niceties, etc)
wl = self.writeln
if self.displayMessage != "":

--------------------

functions themselves should not change much (if ever)

---------------
# whatever storage method you are using, but basically, this is a common
gateway for all storage stuff (like MyGenericAPI above)
