Apocrypha: The Official Documentation for Unofficial Components
| Status: | Official |
|---|
The canonical TurboGears stack is CherryPy, SQLObject, Kid, and MochiKit. It's an open secret, however, that many people using TurboGears don't actually use these components. In order to prevent confusion and present a clear direction in documentation, the official documentation discusses the framework as if these were the only components available. Not so here!
The apocrypha section is entirely devoted to explaining how to switch out components, why you'd want to do so, and what you'll miss out on if you don't use the standard component. Naturally TurboGears doesn't officially support non-standard components but your questions will generally be answered by the mailing list if you're using something listed here.
In case you're curious about the name, the Apocrypha are originally spiritual texts that aren't part of the official texts (canon) for Christianity or Judaism.
