I’ve noticed Michael Pedersen mentioned ‘Pyramid/Orion’ in his recent message to tg-trunk. And the only meaningful info about Orion that I’ve found is its PyPI page. It says it’s planned and you’re its owner.

Could you please comment on this?

Thanks

And what about object dispatch, AdminController etc? Will these be bolted onto pyramid as a sort of TG3? Or are they going away?

I’d hope that this new entity would aim not to compete but to try to do something either complementary, or completely different.

Rails is an “opinionated” web framework. It makes decisions for you. It has opinions about how you *should* build things. Pyramid and Pylons before it tried to be flexible instead of opinionated.

Probably something else. We are looking at all the options, but if we don’t maintain better backwards compatibility than we did in the tg1–>tg2 transition, I’m leaning towards a new name.

Perhaps you are right, that warts goes too far the other direction. But some of the things I’ve seen called technical debt really are just about making developers feel better. And It’s not true that the only reason to pay attention to a wart is because it makes you happy. Warts can be signs of carcinoma, infection, or other serious problems and should be investigated to determine if they are serious — which is exactly what I’m suggesting you do with technical warts. Don’t ignore them, but don’t treat them as an obligation either.
