Re: [Twisted-web] reloading nevow templates

Do the nevow rend.Page and athena.LivePage co-operate with the t.p.u.reload mechanism?
No.
For various reasons I don't want to stop the process to reload the changes I've made to disk and .py templates, but would like to be able to reload them.
Disk templates do not contain python code and therefore do not need to be integrated with t.p.u.rebuild. They already load automatically based on modification time.
.py files are a much more intricate problem.
Thoughts?
Rebuild is a nice idea, but a lot more work would need to be done to make it work reliably (or rather, fail gracefully and report sane errors when it *can't* work reliably). Getting this to work properly really has nothing to do with nevow, although nevow does exacerbate some problems with it.
I'd recommend just manually restarting the server during development for now.

I personally just use the standard Python "reload" function on my major web modules, then when I hit ctrl-R in my browser it loads the latest Python code and re-renders the current page using it. The major downside with this approach is that you must structure your Python code in a way that works with reload. The other potential gotcha is that reload is really slow and you don't want it in production code, so I always wrap mine with "if __debug__".
