Following the "Plain old stable components vs. "future" components."
thread[1] I would like to know how many people is using SA and/or Genshi
with TG now, so I cant get a good picture about how many "know how" there
is and how smoothly this components can work with TG.

Plain "I'm using <component>" respones are good enough, and more detailed
experience descriptions would be just great.

TIA.

I'm living in the present, using SO and Kid, and they're a perfect fit for my needs.

I feel that SO+Kid are solid ground and we need to say this more often. TG 1.0 is here and it is SO+Kid. Future is bright, SA and Genshi may be better but we need to consolidate what we have, and I'm confident that I'll be able to upgrade to SA and Genshi when it's time.

Just my two cents :)

By the way, I love you guys, TG is great, you're doing great work.

Hi,

I'm using SA because I need composite primary keys, and the eagerloader is important (though I'm not actually using it yet). Also because I'm worried about getting stuck on an old, unsupported SO!

I'm using Kid for templates.

I'm actually in the middle of moving from old widgets to ToscaWidgets at the moment.

I've been using SA for close to a year and genshi for a 2-3 months. My
recent apps have been primarily client-side driven so I haven't been
using widgets.

SA+Genshi... I'm still learning SA as I go along, but both are way
faster than what they'll replace in TG2.0.

I haven't tried it yet, but ToscaWidgets should work fine with Genshi.

Here are two guys using Genshi and SQLAlchemy.

Our SQLAlchemy experience is great. The documentation is definitive.
The response in the forum is excellant. We needed some enhancements and
bug-fixes time to time, and Mike was really proactive in resolving
those instantly. We use the assignmapper extension for mapping.

About Genshi - We moved to Genshi recently. Life has been smooth.
(However, we are using widgets, which are having kid templates, which
are getting along nicely with genshi)

I'm using SQLAlchemy, I never used SQLObject.
About templates, actualy I'm using kid and genshi, I tried to convert
all my kid templates to genshi but some widgets didn't work well with
genshi like DatePicker (at least at the time I did this attempt).
I would like also pass to ToscaWidgets.
I tried to migrate from widgets to ToscaWidget without success :-( .

I made the conversion over to SA about 2 months ago. Much more
flexible than SO.

I wanted to switch to Genshi, but I didn't see the support in the
Widgets. Perhaps this is not true of Tosca, but it took so long to
switch to SA that I don't want much more down-time. I use s combo of
Kid and Cheetah depending on my widget usage.
