I have been planning on packaging a standalone distro of nevow. Radix
has kindly offered to help in this effort, as I know nothing about
distutils or any of the issues related to actually producing usable
tarballs of python software. I'd like to do this sometime within the
next few weeks.
One of the things I have been thinking about doing before doing a
standalone distribution is removing the dependency on twisted. I have
been contemplating using PyProtocols for the adaption machinery, and
writing a simple CGI renderer to replace the ones that are twisted-web
aware. However, while I want to pursue this goal eventually to ensure
that nevow has as few dependency abstraction violations as possible, it
probably won't happen right away, so I probably shouldn't do it for the
first standalone release.
Radix, what are your thoughts about timing?
