Django + Pyjamas dream

[qwertz76]

I am dreaming of a real cool combination of Django and Pyjamas:

Declare DB and Django/Pyjamas relevated things on the Model layer:

• basic pyjamas handling (like min/max for Integers) (Field def)

• history handling including Relationship levels (0=off, 1=this_obj, 2=nextRelationLevel, 3=nextRelationLevel+1, ..., -1=alldepth) including needed methods for handling incl. diff per Field

• change/delete requests (Field/Model level)

• ACLs: Table/Column/Row/FieldInRow; read/write/delete/deleteRequest/change->write?/changeRequest

• Extensible Field Parameters

• Re-Enable validators on Field basis, can be complex objects querying the DB

• Translation on Field basis (boolean translate)

• Ordered Relations, as simple relation class and as abstract Inheritance class for further Fields

Declare GUI in Pyjamas:

• own complex GUI classes and widgets

• use of external module loading and callbacks from Django to make everything like a GUI app

Funktionality:

• use Mapper/Proxy classes as connection between Django DB definition and Pyjamas GUI

• have all functionality here or mapped to non-GUI DB classes describing a workflow

• instead of editing HTML templates just offer convinient funktions to Pyjamas

Wouldn't that be great ?

I know that this somehow compromises the everywhere hold up MVC pattern - but:

at the stage of defining my database I already know the key parameters and how I want to present and format/convert/validate/match a value to the user ...

Then writing the application itself with Pyjamas defines the real presentation.

The mapping layer would in the end simply connect the defined table-colums to a generic Pyjamas view where the detailed layout could be defined or also be delegated again to a DB lookup for user defined layouts ...

That would really be kind of rapid application development - everything in Python !

It sounds like what you want is a completely different framework.
