PyWork / News: Recent posts

I have no more time to continue with this project. I hope you enjoyed it. The python community sure have a lot of new and better options for developing web apps. See Django and Turbogears.
This project served its purpose.

I've been *VERY* busy these lasts months, so I had no time to clean up the stuff on CVS and make it the 0.5, but I'll do it soon. I am waiting also so I can update the documentation with the changes. It's been very hard times, job change, move... etc.

Thanks to the contribution of Sean we now have included the Cheetah Template Engine as view thecnology. We are testing it, but you can found it in the cvs

Today we have news of the first production application uing PyWork. The application is handling shipping services for a company in Madrid.

This is mainly a bugfix release. It solves a couple of bugs in the XSLT view and a serious bug regarding keeping references to apache configuration directives. You are encouraged to upgrade.

We've reached 500 downloads! PyWork is aiming to ease the life of the web developer and we are working hard to achieve this

The 0.4 is finally out. We added some cool new features. We hope you enjoy this one and send some feedback.
New features include, event binding, exception hanlding actions, configuration options from mod_python, passing parameters as lists and dicts... and more.

We added support for passing parameters like lists and dictionaries, more features, more secure... We are preparing to write the remaining documentation for 0.4 an release it by mid Feb.

We got the brand new site! Soon will be also releasing a new version! Enjoy and thanks to floyd for the artwork.

A user just reported a bug in the documentation. In the chapter "Installation..." , it's written to add in the httpd.conf the line "PythonImport pywork", this line is not valid and there is no need to use it. We have modified the doc source in the CVS, will be included in the future bug fixing release.

We are releasing version 0.3 of PyWork, it includes complete documentation and guide. More features include ease of configuration and speed. Please send some feedback and comments.

This is a brief description of the future release: the FULL documentation will be finished (maybe we'll include the spanish and italian version). We also will try to tweak even more the request handling mechanism. And the configuration validator. Also we will write XSD's for the conf files, and may be provide a tool for easy configuration. We also been doing some tests with some C modules to boost even more the critic sections, by now we found that we gain just 20-30% performance. So we will stick to *just* python, in that way we are trying to encourage programmers to review the code, make suggestions, or join us. Anyway, about 0.9/1.0 we sure will include accelerated versions of the XSLT/ZPT views and the main controller to support even more req per second. I hope by that time many projects will be using this tool to build better applications in python.

This release includes the First version of the doc's, the work still has to be completed, but theres the basics. Also included some bug fixes, and some new packages. Also the example application has been updated.
