OK ... I boiled down my code to the bare minimum (originally it is derived from the chatola app) and as i suspected the problem is still reproducable. The following is a .tac file which I start with "twistd -noy <filename>". It starts a server with one page that has two livepage handlers. One of them is called when the page loads another one when you click the link. Everything works fine until I reload the page and/or add some locateChild action.

livepage breaks after reload
by noema 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

I have just started implementing another webapp, this time with livepage. When I tried to add more than one page objects (published objects derived from rend.Page) I noticed that any kind of page reload other than through JavaScript breakes the livepage functionality. When I tried to find the cause I did not get very far. It simply seems to me that python functions that are connected to javascript events do not get through. This does not only happen with my app but also with the chatola app from the example directory. When I reload chatola the browser does not update its html dom anymore. I basically have to restart the browser to make it work again. I can reproduce these symptoms on firefox 0.7-1.0 for linux and windows. I also noticed that the liveanimal example works fine throughout reloads. Constructive thoughts very much appreciated! #noema

Twisted web wiki has been attacked by spammers
by Mary Gardiner 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

There's an awful lot of wikispam on the front page of http://divmod.org/users/wiki.twistd/nevow/moin.cgi ... it seems to have been there for at least a year. If the wiki is unmaintained it really should be taken down or frozen and made uneditable rather than letting it become a haven for spam links. -Mary

flattener for decimal type

This avoids an exception when returning decimals through some data method. Works for me so far (apparently I didn't need to import the decimal module, not sure why ;).

Fixing the comments to look pretty in autogenerated docs seems like a good idea, but does epydoc *really* make you do the following??

DB API is the API used by all the synchronous modules, which probably represent 99.9% of the python database code out there. There are two schools of thought on this one: 1.) Do it adbapi style to play well with legacy Twisted code, the twisted way 2.) Keep a very DB API-like setup to try to merge Twisted db development back toward the standard used by the rest of the python community (but with callbacks and release()). runQuery and runOperation are nice, and calls like those should be added in some clean way to pgasync, IMO. However, please, please use a cursor and do it the db api way if you're doing more than one execute(), and you want any kind of real transactional capability. adbapi doesn't really facilitate transactions all that well, unless you retrieve a cursor in runInteraction, and hey--cursors! Here we are back at DB API anyway. (Also the problems with runInteraction, that I explain below.) I'm just not sure how fully to embrace adbapi, and how to resolve the "right" API for pgasync. But I need to figure it out soon, because the protocol layer has been pretty stable for awhile now, and I'm already using pgasync in some production code on my end. I'd like to stop all this API shuffling ASAP. > > Plus, I cannot make a true runInteraction, since the called function is > > assumed to be executed in a thread.

Traditionally, this function was always run in a thread, so you could be free to, for example, make a blocking call using urllib.urlopen or something. While pgasync could call the function that runInteraction passes to it, that function could *not* block. pgasync doesn't make a thread pool, and it won't (ever) run anything on a thread. That was the principal goal when I started the project: Twisted is async, so I want it all async. - jamwt
