Are there any plans for improving the compatibility of SABnzbd with versions of CherryPy other than 2.2.1? Or maybe a seperate CherryPy 3.0+ compatbile version?
This is currently a huge restriction for distros (See f.e. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132590 ).
CherryPy version restrictions
Re: CherryPy version restrictions
Initial CherryPy3 support has been done by shypike, but due to the vast changes (such as having to re-design the whole authentication system)), may not make it into SABnzbd for a while.
The original creator of SABnzbd, tdian, completed the upgrade to CherryPy3 but hasn't shared his changes with us.

Re: CherryPy version restrictions
Why not just mail tdian?
does tdian actually completely abandon sabnzbd or is he still among us?

Re: CherryPy version restrictions
An alternative is to embed CherryPy in SABnzbd at the cost of a large increase of sources of the SAB package.
And I have to check redistribution permissions.
It would make SAB independent of the actually installed CherryPy.
The root cause is of course that the CherryPy people are not capable of
producing something that is backwards compatible.
If only they had called the CherryPy3 package "cherrypy3".
Now 2 and 3 cannot co-exist.
