[Kss-devel] kss with pylons

[Walter Cruz]

Hi Godefroid!

I develop plone apps, so I knew kss there. But find the kss.pylons was
hard, I found it listing the repositories.

I'm testing various things in the zope/plone3 world. Zope and Plone
are becoming closer to Python, and use some parts of it with another
projects is very fine! With KSS I can make my javascript less ugly,
and can integrate it with my framework pretty straighford.

My code is all prefixed with kss, cause it's a route map to my
controller. A note about the port: The Jeroen version had 2 versions
for the controllers, one to plain http requests, other for
xmlhttprequests. The controllers were prretty similar, except that one
returned a rendered page, and other returned a kss set of command.

I added a patch, described at http://kssproject.org/bugs/25 (just one
line:) ) and with this patch, I can do the something like the
following insise my Pylons controller:

def mycontroller():
    make_common_actions()
    if request.is_xhr:
        return ksscomands
    else
        return a_rendered_template

With this, I can eliminate one of the controllers and make my app more DRY :)
