Kevin Teague: I want a pony: Django Cheeseshop
A well-written open letter to the Django development community on the practices which make a setuptools-based development process go more smoothly than the historical experience which soured that community on the idea.
Mark Ramm @ DjangoCon 2008: A TurboGears guy on what Django could learn from Zope
A really nicely-done presentation analyzing the costs and tradeoffs of the "monolithic" development culture of Zope2, and recommendations for avoiding the pitfalls.
Post DZUG 2008 Sprint Report
Notes on work done and proposed during the sprint, 12 - 14 September 2008.
Adding Console Scripts to a Plone Buildout
In a straight 'setupttools'-based application, adding one or more
console scripts is straightforward: you just declare them in the
'setup.py', and set setuptools build them for you. However, when
using 'zc.buildout' for Plone 3.0.x or 3.1.x, you have to arrange to
get the non-eggified Zope2 products on the path, which is not easy.
This recipe works for me.
More on repoze.urispace
I blogged yesterday about the fact that I had docs online
for the repoze.urispace package, but didn't do much to motivate
readers' interest: repoze.urispace should be interesting if you have
an application which needs policies which vary based on "where" in
the site the request is addressed. Examples might include: fine-
grained security, theme selection, caching policies, etc.
Docs online for new repoze.urispace package
I have uploaded Sphinxified documentation for repoze.urispace, a
library package which implements most of the W3C URISpace spec
for use in WSGI middleware. I'm planning to use it to select
themes and rulesets for Deliverance based on the URI; other uses
might include setting caching headers, or doing some flavor of
"declarative security" in middleware.
Avoiding Temptation: Notes on using 'unittest' effectively
Notes on getting the most mileage out of tests written with the Python unittest module
Ten Years of Python Web Programming
Looking back at ten years of programming web applications with
Python, and musings on what lies ahead.
Products.plone_gs 0.1 Released
I just uploaded version 0.1 of a new product to the Cheeseshop. It provides partial GenericSetup support for the tools present in a Plone 2.5.x site. I will be tracking issues against the product at http://agendaless.com/home/tseaver/software/plone_gs/issues
My Two Cents
I'd like to thank the Plone Summit organizers for inviting
me to the summit, even though I decided not to go (I just got back
from a week in Japan, and **boy** are my arms tired).
zc.buildout vs. "plain" setuptools
A brief proposal on how and when one might prefer to use "standard" setuptools features, rather than relying on zc.bulidout.
