Are the samples supposed to be working?

[simensen]

Okay, upgrade CherryPy to 3.1.2, and everything works.

I should probably open a ticket to upgrade our dependencies.

I upgraded to 3.1.2 and things seem to be looking better. However, it looks like the server is binding to 127.0.0.1:8080 and I am not sure how I can change that.

I am running the sample application on a headless system and want to be able to access it from my desktop's browser. Can I configure this easily?

Are these forums the best place to discuss questions and problems with Spring Python or is there a more appropriate place? (like IRC, etc.)

The forums is fine. There's also a mailing list http://springpython.webfactional.com/node/12 and the IRC channel, #springpython on Freenode network.

take care,

Thanks for looking into this, Greg. If I am reading you correctly, it sounds like there is something with the sample applications that will not work with Python > 2.5. Is that correct? If so, would you say that if I were to start from scratch it would be safe to build an application for CherryPy with Spring Python?

I am very new to Python but I have used Spring for Java in the past. I am a little afraid to lock myself into something like Django so I thought I would look into projects like Snake Guice and Spring Python. I am just not sure how stable/solid either of these projects are going to be.

Not having a working example I can tinker with is making it difficult for me to come to that decision on my own. I get the feeling that Spring Python is a lot further along than Snake Guice and given my experience with Spring Python, it seems like it might be a good fit.

Are these forums the best place to discuss questions and problems with Spring Python or is there a more appropriate place? (like IRC, etc.) I am thinking my stack is going to consist of Spring Python, CherryPy and SQLAlchemy.

Yeah, it seems, to be specific, python 2.5.2+ breaks CherryPy 3.1.0. I didn't checkout python2.6. You need the more up-to-date version of CherryPy I posted earlier in this thread.

I can't speak to Snake Guice. Evaluate them as you wish. Heck, it may work with Spring Python nicely. Let me know!

Regarding where to discuss, yeah these forums are good. My current job doesn't let me use IRC, however Dariusz (the other committer to SP's code base) does.

If you look in the part of the code that runs the actual CherryPy app, you will see something like this:

    conf = {'/': 	{"tools.staticdir.root": os.getcwd(),
                         "tools.sessions.on": True,
                         "tools.filterChainProxy.on": True},
            "/images": 	{"tools.staticdir.on": True,
                         "tools.staticdir.dir": "images"},
            "/html": 	{"tools.staticdir.on": True,
                      	 "tools.staticdir.dir": "html"}
            }

You can override the IP address and port number used for hosting like this:

    conf = {'/': 	{"server.socket_host": "<your IP address>",
                          "server.socket_port": <your port number>,
                          "tools.staticdir.root": os.getcwd(),
                          "tools.sessions.on": True,
                          "tools.filterChainProxy.on": True},
            "/images": 	{"tools.staticdir.on": True,
                         "tools.staticdir.dir": "images"},
            "/html": 	{"tools.staticdir.on": True,
                      	 "tools.staticdir.dir": "html"}
            }
