Hi, I have built a relatively simple e-commerce application using Webware. I'm about to release it, and am code reviewing what I have done so far. It appears that I'm not really using anything from Webware itself, other than .PSP. I.e. I'm pretty much just using .PSP files to call a custom python library which I had written previously. Most of the additional Webware packages (MiddleKit, TaskKit, etc) are beyond the needs and scope of my current project. How dependent on Webware is .PSP, and how hard would it be to only use .PSP with say...mod_python? Ultimately what I really would like is something similar to mod_php but with the ability to call python functions. I.e. tags like .PSP where I can call a bit of python from within HTML, vs. mod_python where one has a .py script spitting out HTML chunks. Does this already exist elsewhere? Thanks, Rolf |

MiddleKit, TaskKit, and all the other *Kits are optional components, which aren't tied in very closely to the rest of the system. The core of WebKit/Webware is in the Request and Response objects, and the Application Server, which you are probably using a great deal. If you really don't want an application server, then there's many other implementations of PSP. Ian |

The application server paradigm is a bit overkill for what I am trying to do...just some simple input/output forms which access a postgresql database. > If you really don't want an application server, then there's many other > implementations of PSP. > Most of the .PSP implementations I have seen do not seem to be actively developed. The one included with Webware seems to be the only "good" one. :-) Webware as a whole has suited me very well. However, I'm always interested in trimming down the number of "moving parts" in the systems I build. Thanks, Rolf |
