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 have need for a Python lesscss compiler too, so have started work on one here: http://code.google.com/p/lesscss-python/ Version 0.0.1 has been released, with no support for namespaces/accessors. It is probably riddled with bugs too. Please feel free to chip in

I'm trying to have my form submit to a route which will validate the data then redirect back to the original route. For example: User loads the page website.com/post Form POSTs the data to website.com/post-save User gets redirected back to website.com/post Pyramid is giving me some troubles doing this. Here's my slimmed down views.py def _get_link_form(post_data): """ Returns the initialised form object """ return LinkForm(post_data) def home_page(request): form = _get_link_form(request.POST) return {'form' : form} def save_post(request): """ form data is submitted here """" form = _get_link

I am working in a pyramid project and I've the table in SQLAlchemy in declarative syntax """models.py""" class Projects(Base): __tablename__ = 'projects' __table_args__ = {'autoload': True} I get the results by using """"views.py""" session = DBSession() row_data = session.query(Projects).filter_by(id=1).one() How can I get the column names from this result. PS: I am unable to use this method since I am using the declarative syntax. zzzeek The difference is between ORM and non-ORM, not declarative, which is just a helper for the ORM. Query has a method column_descriptions() that was added for

I'm building Pylons-based web application with RESTful API, which currently lacks any authentication. So I'm going to implement that and in order to avoid all the trouble and caution with storing user passwords, I'd like to use OpenID for authentication. What would be the best way to do this? Are these two things compatible? Are there existing REST APIs that use OpenID that I can take inspiration from? Pēteris Caune I've now spent some time researching the options and would like to summarize the findings. First, a little bit more context -- I develop and control both the service and API

I have a Pylons 1.0 app with a bunch of tests in the test/functional directory. I'm getting weird test results and I want to just run a single test. The nose documentation says I should be able to pass in a test name at the command line but I get ImportErrors no matter what I do For example: nosetests -x -s sometestname Gives: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/ben/.virtualenvs/tsq/lib/python2.6/site-packages/nose-0.11.4-py2.6.egg/nose/loader.py", line 371, in loadTestsFromName module = resolve_name(addr.module) File "/home/ben/.virtualenvs/tsq/lib/python2.6/site-packages/nose-0.11

I'd like to use placeholders as seen in this example: cursor.execute (""" UPDATE animal SET name = %s WHERE name = %s """, ("snake", "turtle")) Except I'd like to have the query be its own variable as I need to insert a query into multiple databases, as in: query = """UPDATE animal SET name = %s WHERE name = %s """, ("snake", "turtle")) cursor.execute(query) cursor2.execute(query) cursor3.execute(query) What would be the proper syntax for doing something like this? query = """UPDATE animal SET name = %s WHERE name = %s """ values = ("snake", "turtle") cursor.execute(query, values) cursor2
