Status of webhelpers

[Georges Dubus]

Hello

First of all, there is a problem with webhelpers' documentation : the doc at http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/webhelpers/en/latest/ (as linked on this page : http://docs.pylonsproject.org/en/latest/docs/libraries.html ) doesn't work. I couldn't find any other way to view the documentation (apart from building it myself, which I didn't try. I have no idea where to ask to solve that, or where to look to start investigating on the problem.

I also wondered what the status of webhelpers is. Is it still commonly used ? Is it deprecated for something else ? Are there plans to port it to py3 ?


Thank you for your answers,

Georges

Hi Georges,

There is documentation for webhelpers available at http://webhelpers.groovie.org/ for a beta of 1.3. I am not sure why the link from PyPI and docs.pylonsproject.org are not working.

I talked with Mike Orr at Pycon and he is at least de-facto maintaining webhelpers and we specifically discussed Python 3 support. It sounds like he is interested in proceeding with that work sometime soon but no specific timeline was discussed. 

He did want to hear back from users about what parts people are using. I am not sure what the correct forum for that is.

I reported this to Blaise just before PyCon, so it will be fixed soon.
In the meantime the docs are at http://webhelpers.groovie.org/. Those
are slightly old: 1.3 final is released, it had a bugfix in
webhelpers.paginate.

I'll start another thread for the other WebHelpers issues.
