Just a quick note about splitting your model.py file in Turbogears 1.0, when using SQLObject. The Turbogears docs have some notes on this, but there was an extra trick to it in the end.
The model.py file for chrss, was starting to get a bit big, so …
A while back I wrote a caching decorator for chrss. It's mostly used for the rss feeds, to help avoid having over-zealous rss readers slowing the site down. However I'm also now running it on a few other pages that were a bit slow (notably generating PGN files for games …
Tomorrow Ian and I are holding our first Python Meet in Brighton. It's all a bit low-key and we'll actually be sharing the space with The Farm, but hopefully it'll be a nice way to start kick starting a bit more of an active Python community down here in Brighton …
This is sort of a continuation of my little SQLObject performance guide. So it might be worth reading that too, if you are after hints about speeding up SQLObject. Anyway, on with the show...
It's possible to create raw (database agnostic) sql queries with SQLObject. This can be really handy …
Well I just finished fixing a bug in chrss and it's made me very glad that I've been using automated tests.
The bug looked like it might be very tricky to track down and I feared that it might get messy. In the end it proved to be a slight …
For those that aren't aware, SQLObject is an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Python. I use it in chrss (my chess by rss web app) as part of Turbogears. Ian and Kyran also use it as part of the ShowMeDo site.
Chrss and ShowMeDo have quite different levels of traffic …
I'm in the process of to writing a simple mobile version of chrss (chess by rss). This is spurred by the arrival of my new Nokia 6300 (which comes with Opera Mini). I'm aiming to end up with a mini-site running at http://chrss.co.uk/mob/ or similar.
The …
Just been reading the free copy of October's Python Magazine (direct link to pdf).
Doug Hellmann's "And Now For Something Completely Different" column, was particularly good. He covered a few of the nice higher level modules for parallel processes. The processing module looks like quite a good sweet-spot for ease …
Whilst reading this thread on the Turbogear's Google Group someone (asm on the list) posted a link to adding breadcrumbs to Turbogears apps.
After a little more reading I found a page on the Turbogears site itself about this subject too: http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/BreadCrumb
The really …
