Hello all, I have spent most of the day looking at the documentation of Twisted, and I am quite impressed. What a wonderful toy ! It is like Christmas a second time in the year. Congratulations to you happy hackers, you have accomplished a tremendous job. However, I have a question regarding Woven; as the howto ends quite abruptly, I have tried to figure out how I could build a web interface I planned to develop in a more usual way. But I quickly became puzzled by the lack of examples, and a quick look on the sources only helped a bit. Is Woven usable at this state ? This question is based on a limitation I encountered while trying to make the menu of my interface : I could not find a way to build a link (Anchor) with a text different from the href parameter. I found a message from Donovan Preston in this list's archives (http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2002-December/002426 .html) stating that it was not possible with the actual Anchor widget. I would have the option to write a subclass of Anchor implementing what I need, but finding such a limitation on the first widget I look at is disturbing. :-) If Woven is usable, can you point some examples of realizations using it, and/or some good example sources to get started ? Thank you ! -- Xavier.

It's quite usable, but very undocumented, yes. For links, use a Link widget instead of an Anchor widget. For examples, see Issues and Blog in twistedmatrix.com CVS - they both should be accessable via the web viewcvs link from the CVS page on the website. -- Itamar Shtull-Trauring http://itamarst.org/ Available for Python, Twisted, Zope and Java consulting ***> http://VoteNoWar.org -- vote/donate/volunteer <***

If you're interested in using Woven, I highly recommend tracking CVS. It's the most actively developed part of Twisted right now, since several people (including myself) are developing the first generation of applications using woven+twisted, and we're discovering features that need to be added. This Link class that Itamar mentions is one such feature: it's only available in CVS currently, or in the 1.0.2 alpha. -- | <`'> | Glyph Lefkowitz: Travelling Sorcerer | | < _/ > | Lead Developer, the Twisted project | | < ___/ > | http://www.twistedmatrix.com |

I just grabbed the CVS version; I also suscribed to twisted-commits to track modifications.

Yes - and it is exactly what I needed. Thanks ! -- Xavier.

That's ok with me - my only fear was that Woven was not ready for production.

Thanks, it works well. :-)
