 Open Issues/To-Do Items  Open Issues/To-Do Items
   
    Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 3
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 1      * peak.events migration
   
     * Finish tutorial chapter 2        - 'running.IProcessProxy' should use conditions/values instead of
           listeners
   
     * Updated reference docstrings for 'peak.api', 'peak.binding',        - Implement basic 'events.ISelector' and 'IEventLoop'
       'peak.config', 'peak.exceptions', and 'peak.naming'.  
   
         - 'UntwistedReactor' should use an 'IEventLoop' to implement 'run()'
   
         - Add 'events.twisted_support', with 'TwistedScheduler',
          'TwistedSelector', and 'DeferredAsTaskSwitch'
   
  Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)      * peak.naming
   
         - 'ILoadingService', 'IObjectLoader' and 'load:kind@URL' scheme
   
     General      * peak.config
   
         * Tutorial complete through chapter 4        - "service zones" or "service groups" to do smarter service groupings
   
         - plugin keys ordered by definition sequence, rather than randomly
   
     peak.storage        - ZConfig factory support to allow "smart" interpretation of strings,
           section names, etc.
   
         - LDAP field type conversion      * peak.running.logs
   
         - Rack -> DM        - Separate formatters from publishers
   
         - "facade" DM base class(es)        - ZConfig schema for logging plugins, allowing multiple handlers/category
   
         - "query" DM base class(es)      * peak.binding
   
         - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?        - Cleanup/document attribute binding interface
   
         - SQL field type conversion for txnTime? Should already happen  
           for Sybase and Postgres which select the time. So, what to do  
           about ManagedConnection's txnTime?  
   
         - lock management interfaces/API  
   
         - docstrings for reference      * peak.running.timers
   
         - Factor out state into separate object so timers aren't shared state
   
     peak.model        - Look at possible integration of peak.query and cursor formatters, in
           order to view stats as an in-memory mini-DB w/reporting.
   
         - add support for lazy-loaded attributes      * peak.running
   
         - clean up TW docstrings & interfaces         - Add "error formatting" and "error reporting" services
   
     peak.naming      * peak.web (some of this may get bumped to alpha 4)
   
         - useful example "flat" naming context (e.g. like AppUtils.URLkeys)         - clean up DOMlet parse/build framework (e.g. add line number info)
   
         - useful example hierarchical naming context (e.g. like JNDI's LDAP         - default error templates, w/useful info
           context or filesystem context)  
   
         - rework smtp: to return a factory object that supports open().         - A set of simple, basic form controls that handle value rendering only
           Also think about whether smtp should move elsewhere. Maybe           (form metadata, validation, etc. will be handled by peak.web.forms in
           there should be peak.network or peak.internet for things like           a later release)
           smtp, ftp, etc contexts?  
   
     peak.running         - try/catch DOMlet (and related error rendering interface/framework)
   
         - more docs for new 'cluster' tools  
   
         - make 'cluster' parser complain about things that would cause  
           the clusterit tools to choke or barf on the file, or which would  
           produce ambiguous or unintended results.  
   
         - finish misc tasks on peak.running.logs's TODO list  
   
         - simple daemons comparable to those in MetaDaemon  
   
         - unit tests for daemons  
   
         - docstrings for reference  
   
     peak.config  
   
         - "Rule"-oriented configuration files (section specifies component  
           rather than property name prefix), so that daemons and other simple  
           apps can be fully configured and run via a config file.  
   
   
     peak.util  
   
         - docstrings for reference  
   
         - more unit tests?  
   
   
   
   
   
   
    Targeted for 0.5 Alpha 4
   
       * Transaction/storage refactorings
   
         - transaction scopes for commands and tasks
   
         - integrate locks with transactions
   
         - transactable persistent queues
   
         - DM.find()/DM.get() queries
   
       * peak.running.commands
   
          - Add option parsing framework based on optparse (backported to 2.2)
   
       * peak.config
   
          - Writable and subscribable config sources, including editable .ini's
   
       * peak.web
   
          - allow use of // in DOMlets' data paths, to access resource space
   
          - DOMlets for layout/region, as defined in "A layout framework":http://www.eby-sarna.com/pipermail/transwarp/2003-August/000684.html
   
          - conditional GET support (last modified/ETag) for static resources
   
          - image resources
   
          - the return of the Specialist
   
       * Have a way to easily in-line custom component usage (e.g. automatically
         create a subclass component with specified 'Obtain' or 'Make' bindings to
         get its configuration).
   
       * Drop 'persistence' package, since ZODB 4 has been derailed.  Change to
         "state-delegation" model, which will integrate better with 'peak.query'.
   
   
   
    Targeted for 0.5 Beta 1
   
       * Up-to-date reference docstrings for all packages
   
       * Finish tutorial chapter 2 (?)
   
       * Web publishing framework sufficient to deploy page-based or object-
         published apps
   
   
   
    Targeted for 0.5 Final Release (or sooner)
   
       peak.storage
   
           - unit tests for more complex object scenarios: references, thunks..?
   
       peak.naming
   
           - useful example "flat" naming context (e.g. like AppUtils.URLkeys)
   
           - useful example hierarchical naming context (e.g. like JNDI's LDAP
             context or a filesystem context)
   
           - rework smtp: to return a factory object that supports open().
             Also think about whether smtp should move to peak.net?

    Targeted for version 0.6
   
      * Get XMI writing in place, w/transaction support
   
      * Generate UML 1.5 and CWM 1.0 and 1.1, and add them to the
        'setup.py' package lists.
   
      * On-the-fly class combination (think "runtime module inheritance",
        but possibly without the modules) for DMs.
   
      * Lock management interfaces/API for peak.storage
   
      * Make 'cluster' parser complain about things that would cause
        the clusterit tools to choke or barf on the file, or which would
        produce ambiguous or unintended results.  (Or replace with ZConfig
        schema that can generate clusterit files.  And/or replace clusterit
        tools with PEAK ones.)

   peak.metamodels.uml  
   
     * Need to write an MMX or XMI -> Python generator, and hook it back up into  
       the UML package, since we're right now relying on a module generated  
       by code that depends on stuff which is going away.
