python-tw-forms is one of the major modules. This has just been
reviewed and built for Fedora. Unfortunately, it needs a newer version
of python-formencode than is in EPEL-5. Moreover, this is a newer
version that can cause bugs if your code uses certain features of
formencode.
How do we want to deal with this? Upgrade formencode? Upgrade
formencode at a certain point in time? Remove toscawidgets since it's
pretty useless? Create a parallel installable version of formencode for
the new version?
Each of these has drawbacks. What's the initial leaning?
I'm initially leaning towards bringing FormEncode up to 1.0.1. We're
going to have to make the leap anyway if we expect to get TG2 working in
EPEL.
I haven't hit any regressions with 1.0.1 in any of my projects, so I'm
not entirely sure what issues may arise.
