200,000 eggs served

Let the cholesterol jokes begin! TurboGears.org has served more than 200,000 eggs. (Do Python Eggs even have cholesterol?)

Using JavaScript Widgets with TurboGears

by Kevin Dangoor

I’ve just put up a new screencast showing how easy it is to use JavaScript libraries that have been packaged as TurboGears widgets: Using JavaScript with TurboGears. This screencast actually shows off a few things:

  • Using a widget (obviously)
  • How widgets include the necessary JavaScript
  • The widget browser in the TurboGears Toolbox
  • How cool setuptools/Python Eggs are (I start from not even having the widget package installed).

This shows off setuptools, because I used the Lightbox widget, which in turn requires the Scriptaculous widget. Without any additional configuration, the widgets show up in the widget browser. easy_install and go!
