Thanks, got it working now. You might want to note somewhere the obvious fact that the dev.cfg db url has to be edited. There is a small typo in step 10 in the http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/wiki/IdentityManagement page – somodel is missing from the import statement. I would edit it myself, but the Trac server fail when I try.

Ah! That would be because you have a more recent version of the TurboGears code than this sample was built for.

You'll need to delete the database and recreate it using:

tg-admin sql create

Then create a new user and group with:

tg-admin shell
>>> # Create the User & Group instances

I'm not at a machine that has TurboGears installed or I'd test this. But it should be rather self explanatory.

Thanks for the link. Got the code now, but it fails with a "OperationalError: no such table: tg_user".

I am on Windows, Python 2.4.

Martin, you’re not being stupid. When I changed Web site software I broke this feature. Sorry. I’ll have to fix it soon.

Until I can fix it, you can download the file from:

Where do I download the file identity-sample.tgz ? I don't see a link. Or am I being stupid ?

Thanks jeff I was a bit lost in the identity code as a newbie to python :(, it works now !!! I must have messed up with soProvider , provider and the “identity.current” wrapper, sorry to bother you and thanks again for the sample. Benoit

Benoit, don't mention it. I'm a newbie to Python too: I only started looking at it when I downloaded TurboGears the first time. Given that there is no documentation for the identity framework yet, I expect it to be a little difficult to pick up. I'm really doing my best to remedy that deficiency, but there are other pressing interests... like building a real ORM for Python...

Jeff you might want to join planet.turbogears.org, I noticed this post from a technorati search.

Send an email to tgplanet@splee.co.uk

Great work!

Just wondering, what do you intend with “a real ORM for Pyton…”, isn’t SQLObject the right thing?

Yeah, I've spoken to Lee and I'd like to subscribe only the TurboGears category. At the moment, I don't have Movable Type configured to provide a feed for each category.

On the subject of ORM, I'm looking to create something a little more Hibernate-like that aggressively caches and attempts to minimise the number of server requests. I've already got quite a lot of working code (it really isn't that hard because I've written ORMs before).
