Sprinting to TurboGears 2.0! · Jun 27, 8:01am

This past weekend, Mark Ramm and I held a sprint to experiment on implementing a TurboGears like API on top of the excellent Pylons web framework. The sprint was hugely successful, and as a result, TurboGears 2.0 will be based upon our work.

This is exciting for many reasons, but the main ones for me are this:

  • TurboGears will return to its roots as a small, simplified layer on top of best-of-breed tools.
  • TurboGears will be able to take advantage of all the WSGI goodness and community support that Pylons provides.
  • TurboGears has a much more well-defined future.

So, exciting times indeed!

  1. That’s great news! This will possibly hold me back from leaving my good ol’ fellow TurboGears (in favor of Pylons) and save me from a guilty conscience. More than that I won’t lose any features, that I’m used to, but only win new ones. Thank you, I’m really looking forward to TG2.

  2. Awesome news! Now I don’t have to decide between Pylons and TG.
