please review pre-0.7.2

[Chad Whitacre]

Hey all,

I spent the day reworking the Aspen docs, paying particular
attention to the API section (I added apps, handlers, rules). I
don't have time to do the 0.7.2 release right now, but I thought
I would mention it here. Please review the docs if you get a chance:

http://www.zetadev.com/software/aspen/trunk/doc/html/

And in general test out the dev snapshot:

http://www.zetadev.com/software/aspen/#snapshot

After 0.7.2 is out, I'm going to start a "magic removal branch"
(a la the famous Django effort of a year ago ;^) ). You can see
what this entails here:

http://code.google.com/p/aspen/issues/list?q=milestone%3A0.7

Giorgi: magic-removal will address your concern with static file
serving that is not tied so closely to the filesystem hierarchy.

Ok all, gotta run for now.

Chad:
I have two questions:
1) What is the role of Stephane under 0.7.2 version?

2) When trying to start Aspen with python C:\os\aspen\bin\aspen -
a0.0.0.0:8000 -rC:/os/dev next error issues:
Next error do not allow me to
starting child server
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\os\aspen\bin\aspen", line 3, in <module>
aspen.main()
File "c:\os\aspen\src\aspen\__init__.py", line 379, in main

File "c:\os\aspen\src\aspen\apps\static.py", line 2, in <module>
from aspen.handlers.static import static as static_handler
ImportError: cannot import name static [apps.conf, line 2]

The apps.conf has next 2 lines:
/ grappelli:django # see __/lib/python2.x/grappelli.py
/mix/media aspen.apps.static:static

If I eliminate 2nd. line, Aspen serves very well but I can not read
static files attached to my application.

Thanks for your work,
Best regards.

As far as I can tell, this has been superseded by aspen.apps.django_

This is a bug in the current aspen SVN version (207). Update src\aspen
\apps\static.py so that line 2 reads:
from aspen.handlers.static import wsgi as static_handler.

And like I said earlier, rather than grappelli:django you can use
aspen.apps.django_:wsgi

It worked as you indicated. Many thanks!!!

In my C:\os\dev\__\etc\apps.conf I put:
/ aspen.apps.django_:wsgi
/mix/media aspen.apps.static:static

I Included c:\os\dev\ in PYTHONPATH

Assuming I have Aspen in c:\os\aspen, in C:\os\aspen\src\aspen\apps
\static.py I put:

from aspen import configuration

from aspen.handlers.static import wsgi as static_handler

# Replaced by previous line ... from aspen.handlers.static import
static as static_handler
from aspen.utils import find_default, translate
.
.
.
