Reg Google Web Toolkit and Python

[Shadab Sayani]

Hi ,
We have a project where I need to read files store
them in database in the backend.We have done this in
python.Now we decided to use Ajax technique for user
interface.For that we found that GWT is one of the
best toolkits.Now I got a doubt can I interface GWT
with python.
Thanks ,
Shadab.

I have not gone into much detail with GWT (you can look into the Python
rendition of GWT called PyJamas), but it should be talking to a web
server with the use of XMLHTTPRequest. So this should the case, then you
can simply access your resources dynamically.

e.g.

web server: http://example.com/
resource: http://example.com/someJSONFormattedData

An AJAX application with its XMLHTTPRequest it will perform an HTTP GET
on /someJSONFormattedData, which depending on your web application
server could either be static or dynamic data. Then upon reception of
the data, simply parse it and update a section or sections of your AJAX
application (unless GWT has mechanisms to handle such things for you).

Hope this helps.

Hi ,
You might also want to look at the javascript backend of pypy. It
translates python code into javascript and has all kinds of cool
mechanisms for "AJAX".
