Overview

Pyforms web works by having on the client side a javascript layer handeling all the Widgets and Controls updates occurred on the server side. The Widgets and Controls updates are exchanged using the functions serialize and deserialize on the client side and the serialize_form and deserialize_form on the server side. Only updated controls are communicated from one side to the other.

Python when running in a Apache2 does not maintain in memory the objects created in each HTTP request, therefore everytime there is an update to a Widget, one is dumped to the disk and loaded when a new HTTP request arrive.
