Click and Drag Functionality in Web Apps with Python

[Wijaya Edward]

Hi,

Some recent webapps like Kiko <http://www.kiko.com/> , Google's gadget <http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en> , and spreadsheets <http://spreadsheets.google.com> to name a few,
have this functionality.

I wonder how can this funcitonalities be implemented in Python.
Do you guys have any experience with it?
Any Python module that support that?

I'd say they use javascript to make a click and drag function.
Like this jquery interface example:

So basically, you could use a python web framework like
Turbogears(http://www.turbogears.org/) or
Django(http://www.djangoproject.com/) with javascript to create such
effects.

I wonder too !-)

Seriously: this is done with Javascript, not Python. But if you're
looking for a Python web framework making such things easy, then Pylons
is for you:

There is mochikit, a javascript library that makes coding in javascript
suck less.

And there is the pypy javascript backend.

But "real" python - no.

There is mochikit, a javascript library that makes coding in javascript

and which is written by an experienced Python programmer, so it also
makes your JavaScript look and feel a little more Pythonic.

(not that JavaScript itself is that unpythonic, really, but some of the API:s
suck pretty badly).

I pretty much like the language, yes. But the environment it is deployed
in suck pretty hard, especially when they stem from a north-western US
state.
