Switch to wordpress

During the last rescue of this website, I ran into issue. In fact my old blog engine (Alinea) was buggy due to a lot of changes in SQLObject, Webware and docutils. I was sick to patch this days after days to maintain this. I decided to switch to a plain-old-fashin php install.
Thanks to AlineaObject lib, […]

Python web developpement: the dilemma

There is a bunch of Python based web framework. So much that it’s a really hard choice to do. Most of them came w/ a special templating language, and a different approach.

Dilemma 1
I really think most of the frameworks, have nothing to do with templating. We should give up with that mixOmatic. A framework is […]

Webware Wiki: The anti-product

This is more a provocation for Ian, than a real post.
While looking for a good python wiki, i found http://wiki.w4py.org/thiswiki.html (wiki.Webware) really interesting. And once again this is webware so :

Webware at the Washing Machine Service

Webware is one of my favorite webapp. Simply because i understand how it works. There is no magic in.. just a standard Servlet way of think.
But on the other side, i really think some part of webware should be left out. Look at the standard webware packages:

CGIWrapper
WebKit
WebUtils
MiscUtils
COMKit
MiddleKit
PSP
TaskKit
UserKit

Only CGIWrapper / WebKit / WebUtils are used in […]

SQLObject and ZPT

After looking at several way to build custom webapps in python, i tested several things :

Zope alone
Zope + CMF
Plone
Webware + Cheetah or PSP
Webware + Modeling + ZPT ..

And my conclusions right now is: SQLObject is really a kool SQL Api since you can use it very easily. For the template i really think that ZPT […]

Webware HTTP Adapter

Ho, i miss it ..

To test: Just copy the WebKit/Adapters/HTTPAdapter.py in your current Webware instance, edit this file to feet w/ your need ( mainly the 2 first vars […]

A new blog in Webware ?

While loosing some time over python blogs, i just found this blog written in Webware.
This sound amaizing since i have already done several things like this, using ww and Modeling but i found that using a RDBDM for a little blog ( < 1000 post) isn’t a good idea. Need a lot of works for […]
