I’m sorry to hear that you are terribly annoyed about something in TG. I think what you are refering to is the config for plugins that is both not separated by plugin and sent in too early. It took me some rooting around in Trac to find a report on this issue, and I couldn’t find you anywhere in any trac ticket or anywhere on the mailing list. So, let me know if I haven’t found the right thing.

In TG2 we don’t prepare an engine until it is first called, so unused template engines should not be loaded. We also use the Pylons template config list, so everything can have it’s own template options.

I do note that there’s a ticket for this against TG 1.1 and it may have been pushed back to then because there’s a lot of config/initialization reorganization work scheduled to be done in 1.1

But, if this is a pressing issue for you, or for Jinja users let me know and I’ll see if we can update the priority a bit.

And thanks again for bringing this to our attention again.

Speaking of which, is there a chance that this fill be fixed before TG2?

Regards,
Armin

I’m a Django user/developer/committer, but I’m eager to participate in the TG2 sprint next weekend. I can say the same for at least three other Djangoists here in Colorado–we don’t want Django to crowd other good solutions out. Competition is good and healthy and we’re excited to learn more about TG and share anything we’ve learned in Django that might be applicable.

I doubt that anybody did anything “wrong” somebody misread the article while skimming, or even just read the title, and they told somebody who told somebody…

No big deal, except that that misunderstanding ballooned it could have a negative impact on TG in the long run.

Thanks for all your support. I think the python community is awesome!

“Screw it all, I’m going back to Struts.”

Hopefully we’ll get a stage at PyCon where we can tap-dance, cause that’ll be the best lightning talk ever.

My comment was the antithesis of “Foo sux, Bar rulez!” in spirit, but I’ve deleted it just to be safe. Some people have a hard time with the idea that programming languages and tools are not sports teams.

It’s kind of funny to think of somebody reading a 2-point comment on a 0-point story on reddit and having that turn into “Hey Mark, I heard…”

Definitely looking forward to TG 2.0 and any cross-pollination with Django that comes out of it.

Credit where credit is due.

I can’t wait for TG2!!!

That being said, the project lacks a little bit in terms of visibility and marketing effort. So, if you are looking for a way to contribute to TurboGears, why not consider becoming our chief evangelist ;-) Send enquiries and applications to the TurboGears mailing list.

I don’t think it matters. It wasn’t anybody famous ;) and I don’t think they had anything against TurboGears, it was just what they “heard” from somewhere.

I also got an e-mail from someone last night telling me they “heard” the same thing from a friend of theirs in another part of the country. So, it seemed like there was some kind of strange meme going around, and it seemed to be worth refuting right away.
