CodePutty / News: Recent posts

Latest CP development is checked in. Its pretty stable at this point. I've also checked in a new module called 'blogputty' which is the project I'm working on to help in the development of CP. It is a website implemented under the codeputty framework.

No new releases yet as I'm in the middle of a significant refactoring. I'm also starting to flesh out the javascript libraries. However, it is all coming along very nicely. I'm working on a piece of blog software that the codeputty framework uses as a test case. When that piece is finished, I'll release it as a separate package. After that I'll begin porting my work on a webmail client, that will provide a more complex test case for codeputty.

All problems in previous news fixed. Other enhancements/fixes as well.

Pondering sessioning for a minute, I realized I've so far made a mistake that was probably causing the DB problems I've been having. Apache runs in multiple processes, so the modpython environment is not a single environment of course, which can cause some rather frustrating "bugs" if one doesn't realize this. Current task is to rearchitect CP to allow for consistent behavior on each connection. Sessioning will also be added, which requires a single outside source of data storage such as MySQL. Also, I want to add a simple user modified python module to act as configuration.

The first release has been made. Check out the README to get an idea of what I'm trying to do. Feedback welcome.

Currently working out the details for templating and tag redefinition. Need to spend a bit of time on the whiteboard to get a working and simple flow. Once this is done, the basic design of the framework will be done, and I'll get some docs out on installation and the process of setting up a simple application.

At this point, I'll commit the code to CVS and get a python distutils tarball made for an initial release.... read more
