  • Broken has_key on GAE, using Cheetah Templates

    The GAE developers have done something that seems incredibly stupid to me, but it probably won't seem to matter that much to anyone who hasn't been using Python for a while. They've defined a has_key() method on their ORM's Model class. What it really does is check to see if the Model...

  • Pyjamas on Google App Engine

    Pyjamas is one of the most interesting frameworks I've run across in a long time. You write a desktop-style app (it looks a lot like something you'd do if you were lame enough to actually write WPF code instead of using the GUI to build XAML) in python, and run it through a "compiler"...

  • cheetah templates on Google App Engine

    I've run across a few blog entries that indicate other people have managed to get this working, but I don't see any hints around (or even about) this particular problem. Maybe it's something that is just really well known for Genshi and Mako, and I just didn't make the connection. Anyway...

  • Real World Dojo part Six: File Compression

    The Point In the last installment, I covered how to create your own custom components . This time I'm going to tackle something that should have been much less involved. For every page request that uses that file uploader, I wind up downloading approximately a bazillion .js files. Reasonable caching...

  • Real World Dojo part 5: Custom Components

    Introduction It turns out that the file upload piece from last time (the User Feedback article) is going to be used over and over. And that I need to attach a drop-down to let the uploader specify what kind of license is associated with the file. In the dot net world, I'd be tempted to slap the code...

  • Real World Dojo part Four: User Feedback

    So now we have a simple form that uses AJAX to upload a file and submits some metadata for the server to associate with that file. It doesn't really give any useful feedback, though. No real end-user's going to read the console, I'm not actually doing anything with the file upload progress...

  • Real World Dojo part Three: AJAX

    When we finished up last time, we had an AJAX-ified form that uploads an image file . The problem now is that the "metadata" (the name and URL) are being completely ignored. It's ugly, but try adding them as GET variables to the upload path: It seems like I should just be able to update...

  • Real World Dojo part One: Form Validation

    Real World Dojo, part One (Basic Validation) The Scenario: I’ve kind of been nibbling around the edges of Dojo for a while, but I’m at a place in this project where I really need to buckle down and learn it. Since I’m having so much trouble finding real-life examples of the basics, I figured I’d share...

  • Manipulating the DOM with Dojo

    This is the area where jQuery rules the roost. Or so everything I've read tells me. So, how does Dojo stack up? Still running this in parallel with Kyle's series: Setting the contents of an element // Convenience function to hide query details var element = dojo.byId('whatever'); element...

  • Some Initial Thoughts on Google App Engine

    More like observations, really. There's nothing here that's new or interesting, if you've been following it at all. But, if you've been mildly curious and haven't taken the time to really read anything at all, this may be worth your time. I was really excited about the app engine...
