Combining jQuery Mobile and Flask-WTF may give you headaches, or why dashes suck in Python variable names

I thought developing using Flask on the backend and using jQuery on the front-end (navigator) would be quite easy. In fact it is, but there are some small traps that can take you time to resolve. A regular case would be, when developing a form, to use Flask with WTForms (Flask-WTF to the rescue!). No […]

Nice introduction article on Pylons

Pylons is a cool web framework (one more, besides TurboGears, Django, Zope, etc.). Someone posted on the mailing list a reference to a nice introduction.

New Apache module for integrating WSGI apps

Finally, after such painful setups, I really never could find a really suitable configuration that could satisfy me. Here are the different methods I tried to implement TurboGears/Pylons or similar WSGI/Python projects (MoinMoin for example): FastCGI: So complex to setup, crashes on its own so often, and leaves running processes in memory so have to […]

This allows you to define your own stack of elements (sessions, authentications, compression, templates, etc.). It is really well done (for a 0.1 version), and, compared to other WSGI based frameworks (like RhubarbTart or Pylons), seems easier […]
