19.8. Other TurboGears Tools

TurboGears includes a number of optional tools for you to use if your application has specific requirements. There are also third-party tools like TurboMail. We can't cover all of these here, and new tools are popping up every day. But here's a list of a few tools that might save you some time if you need them:

• Scheduler TurboGears includes support for a cron-like scheduler based on Kronos. You can find more information about the scheduler at http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Scheduler.

• Configuration TurboGears uses ConfigObj to parse configuration files. You can find out more about how this works at http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Configuration.

• logging TurboGears reuses the logger module from Python's standard library. You can learn more about TurboGears logging at http://docs.turbogears.org/The_Logging_system, and more about the logger at: http://docs.turbogears.org/The_Logging_system.

• paginate When you need to paginate tabular results, TurboGears provides a simple decorator-based pagination mechanism that you can read more about at http://docs.turbogears.org/PaginateDecorator.
