Prelude: Quick Project Startup with Cookiecutters |

To ease the process of getting started on a project, the Pylons Project provides :term:`cookiecutter`\ s that generate sample :app:`Pyramid` projects from project templates. These cookiecutters will install :app:`Pyramid` and its dependencies as well. We will still cover many topics of web application development using :app:`Pyramid`, but it's good to know of this facility. This prelude will demonstrate how to get a working :app:`Pyramid` web application running via ``cookiecutter``. |

Steps |

===== |

|
|
21 |
#. Install cookiecutter into your virtual environment. |
|
22 |
|
|
23 |
.. code-block:: bash |
|
24 |
|
|
25 |
$VENV/bin/pip install cookiecutter |
|
26 |
|
|
27 |
#. Let's use the cookiecutter ``pyramid-cookiecutter-starter`` to create a starter :app:`Pyramid` project in the current directory, entering values at the prompts as shown below for the following command. |
|
28 |
|
|

.. code-block:: bash |

You've cloned ~/.cookiecutters/pyramid-cookiecutter-starter before. |

Is it okay to delete and re-clone it? [yes]: yes |

#. We then run through the following commands. |
|
48 |
|
|
49 |
.. code-block:: bash |
|
50 |
|
|
51 |
# Change directory into your newly created project. |
|
52 |
$ cd cc_starter |
|
53 |
# Create a new virtual environment... |
|
54 |
$ python3 -m venv env |
|
55 |
# ...where we upgrade packaging tools... |
|
56 |
$ env/bin/pip install --upgrade pip setuptools |
|
57 |
# ...and into which we install our project. |
|
58 |
$ env/bin/pip install -e . |
|
59 |
|
|
60 |
#. Start up the application by pointing :app:`Pyramid`'s ``pserve`` command at the |
|
61 |
project's (generated) configuration file: |
|
62 |
|
|
63 |
.. code-block:: bash |
|
64 |
|
|
65 |
$ env/bin/pserve development.ini --reload |
|
66 |
|
|
67 |
On start up, ``pserve`` logs some output: |

Analysis |
|
79 |
======== |
|
80 |
|
|
81 |
Rather than starting from scratch, a cookiecutter can make it easy to get a Python |
|
82 |
project containing a working :app:`Pyramid` application. The Pylons Project provides `several cookiecutters <https://github.com/Pylons?q=pyramid-cookiecutter>`_. |
|
83 |
|
|
84 |
``pserve`` is :app:`Pyramid`'s application runner, separating operational details from |
|
85 |
your code. When you install :app:`Pyramid`, a small command program called ``pserve`` |
|
86 |
is written to your ``bin`` directory. This program is an executable Python |
|
87 |
module. It is passed a configuration file (in this case, ``development.ini``). |
