On the recommendation of Ted Leung (a former boss of mine and a font of programming wisdom) I decided to look into TurboGears. WOW!

I have seen all kinds of claims along the lines of “this framework is so special because . . .” – and well, most of them just don’t live up to it.

TurboGears does exactly what it says. It provides a means for rapid web application development. And as proof they provide a video that shows the creation of a wiki in right around 23 minutes, start to finish. It doesn’t get much better than that, now does it?

Ok, ok, I know. It’s not a big deal. But it is to me!

I have been looking all over for the amazingly elusive breadcrumbs plugin for PyBlosxom
and found it nowhere. So, having the kind of attitude I do, I decided to try my hand at it. You can see the results in action on this site.

Prior to now, all the Python coding I had done was directly related to either server maintenance or parsing large text files.

If you would like a copy of my breadcrumbs implementation you can download it here.
