Webware for Python

Hi, I wrote a very simple framework on top of WebKit+Cheetah for
creating dynamic web pages. My main goal with to separate activities
between the programmer (which is reponsible for organizing code and
providing data) and the designer (which is design and code actual web
page templates). An additional req. was to save the designer from
learning Python plus WebKit framework programming, he'd only need to
learn Cheetah plus corresponding markup languages.

There is too much pain for me to setup sandbox access just to contribute
a single module, so I post it here for anyone who find it interesting.

Documentation and sample usage are with module docstrings.

This sounds very nice. I have problems though, to get the examples to run. in the "contextInitialize" method, you have a reference to 'SitePage' that is nowhere to be found. I've put in instead 'mvc.View'. Now, I can view pure '.page' pages, but the cheetah references are not evaluated. Is there any possibility for you, just to assemble a 'ready to go' example context, that contains all needed files? Thanks a lot Stephan

SitePage is typically used a as site-wide page parent. You could use Page class from WebKit.Page module. mvc.View should work also. > Now, I can view pure '.page' pages, but the cheetah > references are not evaluated. How's that? If you see .page contents that means that TemplateViewServletFactory handler was not registered. > Is there any possibility for you, just to assemble a 'ready to go' > example context, that contains all needed files? __init__.py: from WebKit.Page import Page import mvc def contextInitialize(app, path): mvcfactory = mvc.TemplateViewServletFactory(app, SitePage) mvcfactory.adjustWebKitConfig(app.config()) app.addServletFactory(mvcfactory) Hope this helps. -- Regards, max.

Sorry, not really: If I have 'Page' as an argument in TemplateViewServletFactory above, I get the following error message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... File "/opt/projects/svn/trunk/WebwareTest/MyContext/__init__.py", line 5, in contextInitialize mvcfactory = mvc.TemplateViewServletFactory(app, Page) File "/opt/projects/svn/trunk/WebwareTest/MyContext/mvc.py", line 243, in __init__ self.ext = ['.' + viewClass.viewFileSuffix] AttributeError: class Page has no attribute 'viewFileSuffix' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't have this error message, if I use 'mvc.View', so the above is not really a problem.I'm a pure view with implicit controller If I point my browser to 'PureView', I get ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a pure view with implicit controller Controller is <MyContext.mvc.View instance at 0x40520bec>, request is . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A call to 'Another' gives ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This page has not yet customized its content. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And 'Another.page' gives ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- self.writeHTML() File "/opt/projects/svn/trunk/WebwareTest/MyContext/mvc.py", line 158, in writeHTML self.handleRequest() File "/opt/projects/svn/trunk/WebwareTest/MyContext/mvc.py", line 175, in handleRequest self.renderView() File "/opt/projects/svn/trunk/WebwareTest/MyContext/mvc.py", line 206, in renderView raise Error(e) Error: Error in Another view: can't resolve reference records ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, something is missing somehow and I suspect that you did something to your 'SitePage', that plays nicely with mvc, but that nobody else knows about. I'm using webware 0.8.1 with python 2.3 on a linux system. Cheers Stephan

Of course you can not use plain Page class -- you need a subclass of the mvc.View class. > I don't have this error message, if I use 'mvc.View', so the above is not > really a problem.I'm a pure view with implicit controller Yup. > A call to 'Another' gives > This page has not yet customized its content. > And 'Another.page' gives [...] > So, something is missing somehow and I suspect that you did something to your > 'SitePage', that plays nicely with mvc, but that nobody else knows about. Sorry, sample Another.py is wrong for the same reason as above -- use mvc.View (or it subclass) instead of Page class. BTW, url shouldn't have any extension (.page or .py). -- Regards, max.

Ah, this works now. Thanks. > > BTW, url shouldn't have any extension (.page or .py). o.k.
