Well, the "Super-Duper It-Can't-Break No-Really-It's-Not-Like-The-Java-Version-I-Swear" version of containment in Twisted Reality broke rather nastily after dash sent out his update email regarding the demo. I *think* I've got it mostly fixed now... at least, a nastily contrived, pathological unit test passes, and it appears to do the correct thing interactively. It doesn't try to keep track of nearly so much stuff now, so even if it does break, it's likely that the breakage will be in event updates and not the actual structure of the game. Curiously enough, all this stuff broke when we introduced a certain mechanical cockroach into the demo world... In other news, I've ported the old Java Faucet to Jython (only works on 2.1a1, since previous versions of jython don't implement getattr properly!!), which means that the faucet is runnable with a nice gui on MacOS X now. The other important note is that since Gloop now works on Jython, it is possible to hook arbitrary Java programs and libraries into a Gloop distributed network (this turned out to be very simple, actually). The possibilities of this are left as an exercise for the reader. Currently, I'm adding features to the demo -- testing guest login -- and taking some screenshots of various GUI things. The way things are going at this point, I think the next release (after the demo is done) should be 0.9.0; post that, (after carmstro's config interface is done, and hopefully Inheritance) we should move on to 0.99.0 and concentrate mainly on writing tests... once we've tested every module, 1.0. This concludes this morning's State of the Matrix Address :) -- ______ __ __ _____ _ _ | ____ | \_/ |_____] |_____| |_____| |_____ | | | | @ t w i s t e d m a t r i x . c o m http://twistedmatrix.com/users/glyph
