Call for help

Greetings fellow Quixote users,

This list has been very quiet of late.  Hopefully it will
not be
taken as a sign of Quixote becoming obsolete.  That said, I
could
use some help for the community.  I'm dealing with a pretty
serious
repeative strain injury right now and my programming output
is
very limited.  There are a few things that Quixote could use
that I
can't do myself at this time.

If someone could checkout the bzr repository and provide me
with a
place to pull the complete changes, that would be
enormously
helpful.  Here's what I consider high priority:

    * Add support for qp as an alternative to htmltext. 
Some work
      has already been done on this.

    * Fix the package so that easy install works.

    * Add support for WSGI.

Note that your changes must be released under the MIT/X
license.
Add your name and a description of your change to
CHANGES.txt.

  Neil

I have a module that does this if somebody can take care of
integrating the code.

Sorry to hear that, Neil.

I'm happy to integrate stuff.  I'll work on it today.

I already have WSGI support, and I can deal with
easy_install too.

Neil,

I've added WSGI and qpy support, as well as one or two other
things to
support test fixtures.  You can see the changes in bzr-ng
form at:

	http:/
/iorich.caltech.edu/~t/bzr/quixote2-dev/

Because I am now test-infected, I wrote tests, too; grab
them here
(bzr-ng):

	http
://iorich.caltech.edu/~t/bzr/quixote2-tests/

You will need nose and twill to run the tests.  (Sorry,
these are the
programs I use ;).

Briefly, quixote.get_wsgi_app() returns a WSGI app;
quixote.cleanup()
blanks the _publisher singleton; and quixote.html.use_qpy()
switches
things over to using qpy.

easy_install already works fine.  ??

I would *really* like to put the tests and the code in the
same
repository, but it's difficult with the current structure of
Quixote.
Would it be possible to make more of a directory hierarchy,
e.g.
move the Quixote package into a 'quixote' subdirectory? 
This would
clean up the top level directory, as well as making it
easier to import
quixote from the development directory & enabling tests
in a 'tests/'
subdirectory, too.

This is part of the scgi package, not Quixote proper, yah?

whups.  This code was *contributed* by Mike Orr; I just
integrated it
and wrote a test.

That change would be a good idea.
