[Tutor] Tutor Digest, Vol 21, Issue 60

[Steve Robb]

I have spent quite a bit of time looking at TurboGears.  I have not used
it in any production sense.  Recently, there has developed a new
TurboGears app which you may not have run across yet, but is very
interesting in itself.  It's called Catwalk.

I have hacked it to give it access to other databases I have stored in
MySQL and have started a generic version of it to display the MySQL
database itself.  Seems very cool.

CherryPy, SQLObject and mochikit all have good reputations and TG seems to do a good job of gluing them together. Kid (the template engine) is not as mature as the others but it seems to work OK.
