I really and truly hope not.

why not? urls are very important and using child_XXX methods is sometimes not very convinient.

Convenience at the cost of maintainability is not worth it. Trust me, if your project is going to reach any kind of size, you do NOT want "django esque" URL dispatchers. I've seen it go bad, I've experienced it go bad.

sorry i can't trust you on that one, because i am involved in a very big project at the moment. i'm not allowed to talk about it yet, but i is probably the biggest application of python in austria (ok, that is not really hard ;) ) and i wrote a similar service (but way not as large) with nevow's traditional way of dealing with urls. and this one is very hard to maintain, because the url system is not abstracted out of the code and templates. so maintainability IS the reason i use a django like url dispatch system. i'm not a native speaker so convenience was probably the wrong word to choose. but it very much depends on the type of project. for some projects (also relatively large ones) it has been the right decision to stick with nevow's default way of handling urls.

See "childFactory" and "locateChild" methods of rend.Page

I am reading at http://python.net/crew/mwh/nevowapi/nevow.rend.ChildLookupMixin.html Is there an error in childFactory doc? It mentions the segment and request parameters which aren't there. -- Juanjo Conti
