Using JavaScript Widgets with 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.

    here’s the wget output:

    –18:57:54– http://dumbledore.turbogears.org/video/JSwithTGp1online.mov
    (try: 6) => `JSwithTGp1online.mov’
    Connecting to dumbledore.turbogears.org|208.97.149.76|:80… connected.
    HTTP request sent, awaiting response… Read error (Connection reset by peer) in headers.
    Retrying.

    Same story with the second file.
