multiple problems with tahchee 0.9.8 and Cheetah-2.4.3

[Sven Hergenhahn]

Hi Sebastien,

(btw - your MTA does not accept Mails from mine...)

I seem to be a little bit too stupid to get to grips with tahchee...

Cheetah-2.4.3-py2.6-linux-i686
tahchee v.0.9.8


1) I use $link('index.html') and $link('more/page.html'), but when
building make remote, I still get relative links ( ../index.html in
more/page.html for example.

2) I keep trying to use $page.htmlPath, but there I get

...
[ ] Generating file 'index.html'
Traceback (most recent call last):

3) Is there any way to make these Tracebacks a little bit more
readable
(e.g. when making cheetah errors, the wrong code is nicely displayed,
even with line numbers...)

4) Is there any way to insert python debugging code into the
templates
or so?

5) Maybe it would help to expand the Example site a little further,
with more examples on how to use $site and $page and their methods

Thanks & cheers,
Sven

stupid me, forgot things:

6) I had the same problem with screen-kiwi.css that Ben reported
earlier. Touching it (empty) kind of "solved" the problem for me

7) using $site.absolutePath($page.path()) yielded the following
exception:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/tahchee/main.py", line
389, in absolutePath
return os.path.normpath(os.path.join(self.root, path))
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 67, in join
elif path == '' or path.endswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'endswith'
make: *** [local] Fehler 1

Hi Sven,

I'm not sure why I'm still on this mailing list, but I saw your post
and thought I'd reply ... :)

I think the bulk of the problems with Tahchee are due to Cheetah being
changed, and also Python.

I was generating my website offline and then uploading it to the
webserver, which worked fine, until I moved to a new host and wanted
to compile it on the server. Because the server had newer versions of
cheetah, etc., it meant that it tachee just wasn't working anymore. I
posted a blog article about what I did then: http://bp.io/post/79
(i.e., rolled my own static website generator.)

Cheers,
B

Hi guys,

Thanks for the report -- I'll definitely look into it this week-end. It seems like Cheetah's API has changed a little bit, so it's time for an update :)

Stay tuned !
