paddycarey / nacelle Goto Github PK

Like Django, nacelle can make use of a plugable apps system (of sorts, much less rigid than django's).

In an effort to prevent bloat in nacelle's core, a contrib directory should be created where packages/modules can live that are nice to have features, but that don't necessarily belong in core e.g. social auth, lockdown, GCE interaction etc.

Nacelle currently includes several vendored dependencies in the /nacelle/vendor/ directory (which is added to the python path when the app runs). Currently the packages are just dropped in place with little regard to versioning or introspectability.

We need a simple method (probably a makefile command) that can iterate over the depencies and spit out version numbers (both locally and checking pypi for an updated version). This may require a change to the way libraries are loaded in nacelle.

Need to add a quickstart guide to the docs.

Guide should cover:

• Initial setup/install
• Basic routing
• Basic request handling

Links to more in-depth documentation should be provided throughout.

Add a module that can load test/development fixtures from file and import them into the datastore at runtime.

nacelle's default dispatcher expects your request handler to actually return a response rather than just doing self.response.write
