What do you mean?

> new: support for secure cookies

What's this?

And finally, what was the reasoning from switching to return from
print for making output? I never heard an answer on that?

Thanks,

Greg

switching to return from print is going to happen in 0.3, not in this release.
With returns code becomes very modular and extendable.

For example, if you want to pass output of all your GET and POST
methods through a layout template, it is not very straight forward to
do that with prints. But when you have returns, it is straight
forward. Here is an example that uses a decorator.

def layoutify(f):
def g(*a, **kw):
return render.layout(f(*a, **kw))
return g

class Hello:
@layoutify
def GET(self):
return "foo"

Still better, in 0.3 you can write a application processor to handle
all methods.

app = web.application(urls', globals())

def layout_processor(handler):
result = handler()
return render.layout(result)

If you have lot of code that uses prints, you don't have to worry. You
can write an application processor to handle that too.

def capture_stdout(handler):
return web.capturestdout(handler)()

app = web.application(urls, globals())
app.add_processor(capture_stdout)

I am working on module to make web.py 0.2x applications work
seemlessly with 0.3.

Excellent, thanks for the answer. getting away from print may help
with multithreaded applications too, no? I thought I heard that
somewhere.

How to do this for cheetah?

def layoutify(f):
def g(*a, **kw):
return render.layout(f(*a, **kw))
return g

class Hello:
@layoutify
def GET(self):
return "foo"

Still better, in 0.3 you can write a application processor to handle
all methods.

app = web.application(urls', globals())

def layout_processor(handler):
result = handler()
return render.layout(result)

Hi, i have some problems with web.sendmail function. It's always
failing when i try to specify From field with unicode data, for
example:
"Łukasz Topa <so...@mail.goes.here.com>".

I've changed 880 line in utils.py
from:
i.write(message)
to:
i.write(message.encode('utf-8'))

in 0.23 release and it seem's to work properly.
Is there any other way to make unicode working without hacking
utils.py?
maybe i missed something...

Regards
