[Twisted-Python] with a subject this time - Woven LivePage beginners trouble

Wed Jul 16 18:44:10 MDT 2003

Hi twisted,

I've just started playing with twisted and am keen to get something
happening with  LivePage. I can serve pages quite happily from an .rpy and
have tried to follow the examples from the manual to get event handlers and
LivePage happening.  When my page is generated "MyController.handle" gets
called, but "MyController.setUp" never gets called.  If I add an "__init__"
method it gets called, but when I try to call "self.view.addEventHandler" it
complains that self.view is a NoneType.

I have also tried subclassing input.Anything, but suffer from a similar
problem in that my "initialize" method never gets called or if I call
"input.Anything.__init__" then I still have a problem with
"self.view.addEventHandler"

FYI I'm running twisted 1.06 on Python 2.2 on a Windows 2000 box

My code for your perusal ...

from twisted.web.woven import page, controller

model = {
    'name': 'fred',
    'stuff': ['Foo', 'Bar', 'Baz']
}

template = """
  <html>
  <body>
  <h3 model="name" view="Text"  controller = "foo"/>
  <div model="stuff" view="List">
  <li pattern="listItem" view="Text"/>
  </div>
  <span view="webConduitGlue" />
  </body>
  </html>
"""

class MyController(controller.Controller):

#  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
#    controller.Controller.__init__(self, args, kwargs)
#    self.view.addEventHandler("onmouseover", self.mouse) # self.view =
NoneType :(

  def setUp(self, request, *args):
    print "setUp" # this never happens :(

  def handle(self, request):
    print 'handle' # this happens :)

  def mouse(self, request, widget):
    print 'Mouse Over!!!'

class MyPage(page.LivePage):

  def wcfactory_foo(self, request, node, model):
    print 'foo factory' # this happens :)
    return MyController(model)

resource = MyPage(model, template=template)

Thanks,

Tim

PS sorry about the finger trouble
