I think we should just put all backwards-compatibility code into twisted.web. So twisted.web will be API-compatible, and all of our BC code will live in Twisted. It will still require tmlabs.web (or whatever), and just wrap its APIs.
Lofty goal -- but I'm not sure it's actually possible. See current state of Nevow compatibility. It's somewhat backwards compatible, and works for "normal" resources, but has certain things that don't quite work together due to new resource API. Do you think that's fixable? I have not spent a great amount of time looking for a solution so there may be one but I didn't see an easy fix. Or do you mean backwards compatible in that you could the old API, but it won't necessarily work if you use it with the new API in the same app? Perhaps just that twisted.web.* has been reimplemented such that its internals are now written in terms of tmlabs.web but it's otherwise a separate world? If so, I'm not sure that's actually worth much. James
