Using JavaScript Widgets with TurboGears

Posted by: Kevin Dangoor in Python, Software Development, TurboGears

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!

Hi, the screencast files are not served properly.

Same story with the second file.
