Here is a progress report on my Karrigell journey. I am impressed. The
demo worked without error and it appears to be a very nice piece of
software. I'm going to try it out writing a lightweight web survey form
and deploy on my Linux server after developing on my Windows XP
laptop. This is how I installed and looked at the demos.
I am most impressed with the debugging facilities :) Much needed by moi!
What I did so far ...
1. Laptop address is 192.168.0.37
2. Downloaded
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/karrigell/Karrigell-2.1.7.zip
3. Unzipped to my C:\Python directory which gave me a
C:\Python\Karrigell-2.1.7 directory
4. Opened a cmd window
5. Changed directory to C:\Python\Karrigell-2.1.7\gadfly-1.0.0 as per
installation instructions
6. Entered python setup.py install. See attached gadfly_install.txt
for the results
7. For my own convenience on the laptop's path, made Karrigell.bat as
follows ...
c:
cd \Python\Karrigell-2.1.7
python Karrigell.py
8. Executed said Karrigell.bat which did ...
cd \Python\Karrigell-2.1.7
C:\Python\Karrigell-2.1.7>python Karrigell.py
Warning - KirbyBase is not installed
Karrigell 2.1.7 running on port 80
Debug level 1
Press Ctrl+C to stop
(I don't know yet what KirbyBase might be.)
9. On a nearby desktop machine I launched Mozilla and pointed it at
192.168.0.37 and up came the Karrigell home page ...
http://192.168.0.37/index.html (see attached index.txt for the
source)
It has a tour which demonstrates a heap of cool features as well as the
more elaborate demos listed below (copied from the 192.168.0.37 home
page) My comment is in [brackets] ...
* a calendar
* a forum
* a simple Wiki server
* Kwiki, a wiki server using the FCKEditor wysiwyg text editor
* a simple record collection program, using a single ks script and
the gadflyStorage module
* a portal, in which components are included using the Include()
function. It makes an extensive use of session handling to display a
different interface according to the registered users preferences, and
allows editing of news by these users. It uses the gadfly database for
user profile management and news edition
* an e-business demo : buy breton songs on-line !
* this script is bugged, just to show how exceptions are shown and
how the debugger works
[ All the above demos worked without a hitch. The next one did too but I
needed to head back to the laptop and open a new cmd window and run the
k_password.py script. It uses MD5 to hash the password. ]
* site administrators can browse gadfly databases on-line. Access to
these pages requires authentication ; login and password must be set
beforehand, using the script k_password.py
As I said above, I am impressed.
About to design a web survey. I'll keep you posted :)

This is the home page of Karrigell, a web framework including
a web server, a Python script engine and a relational database (gadfly) : all you
need to build dynamic web applications
<p>Karrigell can also work with external web servers (Apache, Xitami) and
all the databases for which a Python API exists (sqlite, mySql, PostGreSQL, ZODB, etc).
A dictionary-like interface to gadfly and sqlite allows storage and retrieval of
Python objects without explicit SQL commands : open a base, create a Python
object and write it to the base by <code>db.write(obj)</code>
<p>If you want to see examples, take a <a href="demo/tour.htm">tour</a> of
some demos, which will show you how to use authentication, sessions, how to
handle HTTP forms, include scripts inside other scripts, etc
<p>More elaborate demos include
<ul>
<li>a <a href="demo/calendar">calendar</a>
<li>a <a href="demo/forum">forum</a>
<li>a simple <a href="demo/Wiki">Wiki server</a>
