A http request’s journey through the TG stack
A couple of days ago Stefane Fermigier posted a nice graph mapping the dependencies between different webframeworks and Python packages.
I have a week spot for infographics, and Stefane’s post triggered the idea of doing an illustration of the journey of a http request through the TurboGears application stack. You can see the result here as a large png or here as a pdf.
I *think* I got the request flow right, but please post a comment if you have corrections or suggestions.
It could be nice to see similar graphs for some of the other frameworks out there.
ps. the gorgeous TG header was made by Richard Coorb’s

Excellent overview - really helpful. There is a typo (”throught”) in the header.

Really nice! It even has my little feedcontroller in it.

Very helpful, thanks for making this. It’s going on the wall next to my desk.
Typos I spotted:
Identity box: privileges, not ‘privilAges’.
Validation: If your method … not ‘if you method’
nice work!

Great and sexy
If HtmlGen is for the Template plugin I release, Tanks. But I prefer HtmlPy or HPy, because the plugin grow and add more feature than just FormEncode.htmlgen.

I think you also forgot ZTP (see turgogears’ wiki)

Thanks for the positive comments =). I have updated the graph fixing the typos and the reference to HtmlGen->HtmlPy.
- David: I search the wiki for ZTP and didn’t get any result… do you have a direct link?

I love that you’ve made this a CC release! However, next to the “some rights reserved”, there is no indication which CC license you’ve chosen, so I don’t know which rights are reserved.

Also, there’s now the Visit Tracking component that intercepts the request before Identity. And there’s no identity session any more — the concept moved to visit.

Could you give us more information about how to create document like this, (tools, graphics lib…)
Thx

Hi David,
I use Illustrator CS (v11) on OS X (old habit), but Inkscape is getting better for every release. Sometimes I draft the artwork by hand first, scan it and trace it.

How many times to do it ?

I think Kevin should put this on the TG site. This is very nice! great job!
January 19th, 2006 at 3:02 pm
This will definitely get on the TG site.

You’ve also misspelled ‘PostgreSQL’.
Thanks for this! It is very helpful and illustrates how TG works in a very interesting manner.
