1.0 bugs for the Europython grok sprint¶

Tags: europython2009, grok

I looked through the Grok buglist with Jan-Wijbrand today. Goal:

• Get a short list of bugs as focus for the Europython Grok sprint.

• Find the bugs that really move 1.0 forwards.

• Find bugs that are probably doable in two days.

I’ve tagged all five bugs we selected with “europython2009” so that they’re easy to find:

• Splitting grok.CodeView (with just a render() method, so something that programmatically returns output) out of grok.View (which only retains its @template and loses the render() method) ought to simplify the code a lot and open up the way for the last couple of fixes that are needed in this area for 1.0.

• grok.require() effectively falls back to the zope.Public permission. zope.Public isn’t something you can take away. If we set the default to zope.View, we can easily close everything to anonymous visitors.

• Having one templates/ directory for a couple of modules is handy, but buries you under unnecessary warnings at the moment.

• XMLRPC in combination with WSGI is broken. Can we (help) fix/debug it?

• For WSGI when using development mode, something’s fishy with logging in. Loads of comments on the bug, so with that we ought to nail it during the sprint.
