I'm working on a basic Routes implementation according to the spec on the wiki. Ben is helping with the unit tests and some of the coding. I hope to get a partial-feature release by early February.
WebHelpers is waiting till I make some headway on Routes. Ben is going to add JQuery and YUI support, including using them together. A couple people volunteered to help with those libraries; you can coordinate with Ben. We'll also need documentation and HOWTOs on using these libraries in Pylons, including examples of their features. That's not completely dependent on WebHelpers and can be started now. I'm still undecided about WebHelpers' HTML building: ElementTree, lxml, or something else. I think we'll just try both of those and see which works better. Advantages of ElementTree: - No installation hassles. Advantages of lxml: - It's becoming common in other Python projects, potentially emerging as a standard. - Ian Bicking recommends it: http://blog.ianbicking.org/lxml-transformations.html. - HTML output, which is more compatible with the current generation of browsers than XHTML. (Injecting XHTML into HTML documents is undesirable, though we may be able to get away with it until the tools improve.) - Support for quirky HTML input. (Not needed now but maybe in the future.) Installing lxml: - Debian/Ubuntu require the libxml2-dev and libxslt-dev packages. - Precompiled Windows eggs are on PyPI for the non-latest development versions. These may require downloading and installing manually to prevent easy_install from trying to compile from source. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
