I'm having an issue running unit tests for authorization in a Pylons app. It appears as though certain cookies set in the test case may not be correctly written or parsed. Cookies work fine when hitting the app with a browser. Here is my test case inside a paste-generated TestController: def test_good_login(self): r = self.app.post...
We have several Python 2.6 applications running on Linux. Some of them are Pylons web applications, others are simply long-running processes that we run from the command line using nohup. We're also using virtualenv, both in development and in production. What is the best way to deploy these applications to a production server? In devel...
I need to know the full url for the current page from within a Mako template file in Pylons. The url will be using in an iframe contained within the page so it needs to be known when the page is being generated rather than after the page hits the server or from the environment.

I've been working on renaming TurboGears 2's Repoze 'groups' field to 'roles' to free the namespace and db tables for other purposes. Also roles makes much more sense to me then groups because I have a strong Drupal background. Now I have found some of the docs to do this such as these: http://www.turbogears.org/2.1/docs/main/Auth/Cust...
The Ruby LESS gem looks awesome - and I am working on a Python/Pylons web project where it would be highly useful. CSS is, as someone we're all familiar with recently wrote about, clunky in some important ways. So I'd like to make it easier on myself. Is there an existing Python module or library that provides parallel functionality? ...

I can serialize my table data just fine using the SqlAlchemy serializer, and I can deserialize it fine as well...
There is a certain page on my website where I want to prevent the same user from visiting it twice in a row. To prevent this, I plan to create a Lock object (from Python's threading library). However, I would need to store that across sessions. Is there anything I should watch out for when trying to store a Lock object in a session (s...
