Re: [Myghty-users] mod_python 'servlets'

[mike b. <mi...@zz...>]

I'm going through the demo on the site viewing all the source code, and it
seems to be an HTML-embedded-in-Python style of coding (such as
http://lnx1.blue-fox.com/~dpopowich/mpstutorial/conversion?view=1).  A lot
of the Python web frameworks I have seen seem to work like this (cherryPy,
Quixote).

I wasnt able to get a sense of what the flow would be for a servlet that
strictly handles business logic and passes all of its presentation off to
another system such as Cheetah or Myghty.  You could just stick a call to
the Interpreter right in the write_content() method, but then I wasnt
seeing what advantage the servlet would have over a straight mod_python
handler.  Or, you could rewrite the Myghty compiler to have Myghty pages
compile into a class that subclasses the mod_python servlet class, but
that would introduce a huge dependency and extra layer into the
application without any clear advantage.

From my brief look, it seems like two different paradigms for doing the
same thing, rather than complimentary tools.
