Spyced

Another maintenance release. Changelog: db module requires PK definition up-front (instead of erroring out later) default login render tags give better feedback on unsuccessful login raise NameError instead of string exception for invalid eval'd tag attributes fixes for spyceProject fix kwargs render-through on spy: list and table tags fix auto-selecting of multiple defaults in compound controls fix for class-based exceptions in old-style tag exception handlers

Jeff Shell doesn't find Spyce tags easy to translate into "what HTML does this output?" That's my fault for writing crappy documentation , I guess, although I did think the examples helped a bit. :) So, briefly, here's how you translate the Spyce form tags: <f:text name=quest label="Question:" /> All the tags correspond closely with raw HTML. (This is part of Not Wasting Your Time.) If the HTML is "input type=foo," the corresponding Spyce tag is f:foo. So this will generate "input type=text." Name attribute is the same as in HTML; by default Spyce also sets the ID attribute to the same as name, for convenience working with javascript. ID may of course be overridden separately. The "Label" attribute generates a "label for=..." html tag pair. For most form elements, the label will be placed before the input; the exceptions are radio and checkbox buttons. Spyce will add a "value" attribute ...

I saw something cool in #postgresql on freenode tonight. There is a bot in the channel named "rtfm_please;" he'll reply to messages with pages of the postgresql documentation on that subject. For instance, (9:03:51 PM) jbellis: constraint (9:03:51 PM) rtfm_please: For information about constraint (9:03:51 PM) rtfm_please: see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ddl-partitioning.html (9:03:51 PM) rtfm_please: or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/infoschema-table-constraints.html (9:03:51 PM) rtfm_please: or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-set-constraints.html Unfortunately it's not too bright: (9:03:48 PM) jbellis: add constraint (9:03:49 PM) rtfm_please: nothing found :-( Apparently it's not really a search, but a manually-maintained collection of links (which explains why it's virtually instantaneous). I was amused to see this entry: (9:23:36 PM) jbellis: mysql gotchas (9:23:37 PM) rtfm_please: For info...
