tg without db
Adrian von Bidder
I just re-read the 'CRUD with no database' thread from November because I
find myself in a similar situation, albeit much simpler: the webapp I'd like
to write is actually just one, two forms generating some dynamic HTML. No
DB at all (at least: I don't care to write a proper DB abstraction to access
the system user database, which is all I'll want to do. Context: I just
need to dynamically generate NX terminal server session files and launch the
NX java applet after a user has authenticated himself.)
How much work would this be? I'd like to use the convenience of the genshi
/ form validation / basic server environment / request routing framework
that tg provides. OTOH this app is so small that just writing a dumb CGI
script will still be an option...
((
side note: what is the best way to verify a user name / password against the
system user databaase in Python? PAM would be good but querying local users
in /etc/passwd|shadow|group might be an option, too. I guess calling 'su -c
true' with expect hackery is not that good :-)
)))
cheers
