Compatibility of 1.0b1 (and earlier?) with Python 2.3

[cefstat]

I deployed today a preliminary version of a TG application on a Debian
system with Python 2.3.5. Unfortunately, request urls of the form
.../page?id=1 do not work. The problem is in the function "to_kw" in
turbogears/util.py. In particular, the following

kw.update(izip(islice(argnames, start, len(argnames) - len(defaults)),
args))

does not work because in Python 2.3 update can not take an iterable as
argument. This can be easily corrected by using

kv_pairs = izip(islice(argnames, start, len(argnames) - len(defaults)),
args)
for k,v in kv_pairs:
kw[k] = v

Thanks!

I got the same problem this Thursday. My project did work on my laptop with 2.4
but it didn't on a development machine with 2.3. I thoght I'll have to
investigate that next week, but now I know the answer =)

As far as I know we are still trying to stay 2.3 compatable, so if you
open a ticket for this on Trac, (trac.turbogears.org) it should get
fixed.

You will have to register if you aren't already because we've had a
lot of trouble with wikispam.
