2. Template Search-Path Workaround

   One of the most annoying limitations you may encounter in bottle when building bigger applications is the way templates are searched on the file system. At the time the template system was designed, nobody thought about multi-app projects, third-party apps, Bottle.mount() and the complexities these features introduce. The typical …

3. Virtualenv and Makefiles

   Whenever I start a new project that is likely to have dependencies, I set up virtualenv and create a requirememnts.txt. I am also a big fan of Makefiles. Here is a small snippet that combines these tools:

   # Makefile
   venv: venv/bin/activate

4. Thread-locals and Generators

   Looks like the next release (0.11) will break backwards compatibility in some edge cases. I am working on a patch that affects routes that stream content (yield) and access request/response after the first chunk of data is returned.

6. Bugfix Release 0.10.11

   The Python 3.x unicode problem was more complex than I thought. I had to re-implement urllib.parse_qsl to work around an encoding problem in 3.1 and change the way bottle handles query-strings in subtle ways. Again, please read this before upgrading: http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/tutorial.html …

7. TAL Templates deprecated

   Andrea Belvedere found a bug in SimpleTALTemplates that went unnoticed for months. Conclusion: Nobody actually uses Bottle+TAL.

   Perhaps it is a good time to remove SimpleTALTemplate support instead of fixing it. Or move it to a plugin.

   Here is the deal: The TAL template adapter needs a maintainer or …

8. Custom Request Attributes

   This might be useful for Plugin developers: https://github.com/bottlepy/bottle/commit/a21d71694fdea222844dba5076efad3726ccdb68

   To sum it up: You can now add custom attributes or properties to the bottle.request object. These are stored in the environ dictionary ('bottle.request.ext.*' namespace) which has some advantages over traditional instance attributes …
