Pyxer news

[dirk.h...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I decided to drop the work on the Pyxer project as a Python to
Javascript converter. All sources are now licensed now under the
liberal MIT license and may be used freely. I will publish my last
works on it in about two weeks on: http://code.google.com/p/py2js/

But Pyxer will live forth in a reincarnation ;) Pyxer becomes a small
easy to use framework (yes, yet another one...) It main goals are
support for PasteDeploy and Google AppEngine. A simple templating
language like Genshi is included (because Genshi is not supported by
GAE yet). And it will be very easy to be used. First versions are here
in the SVN: http://code.google.com/p/pyxer/

After my holidays I will continue this work in August.

Thanks for your interest
Dirk

Hello.
Have you considered to join your work with the Pyjamas project?
http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas/
Thank you :-)

Hi Juan,

indeed I see your work is very much advanced than my one is and that is
one reasons I decided to drop my project and not write another py2js
tanslator ;) There is also the great approach of the PyPy people that is
more general but very promising:
http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/js/using.html

It is sad to see that such a great project like Pyjamas has not become
more popular. Maybe for the Python community it is to complex. Also some
online examples and documentation is missing.

Did you ever think about splitting the project to the Python2Javascript
part and the GWT emulation part? GWT seems to be a reinvention of the
wheel and those Javascript specific features could also be covered by
ExtJS, YUI, Dojo or other Toolkits.

Well to come back to your initial question: I ask myself how I could
contribute to your project? My proposal is: 1. I could try to separate
the "pyjs" part of Pyjamas. 2. I would like to include this into a small
tool that replaces <script language="Python">...</script> part with
Javascript, like Pyxer did before. 3. In my new project I create a new
templating language where these features could easily be integrated.

If you have more ideas, please let me know.

Best regards and good luck for Pyjamas
Dirk

 Hi Dirk.
 It would be a very interesting collaboration.
 I only wanted to clarify that I am not the creator of Pyjamas.
 I also am confused ;-)
 Best regards and congratulation for your very good work.
