Installation
|
============
|
|
Before you begin
|
----------------
|
|
This tutorial assumes that you have already followed the steps in
|
:ref:`installing_chapter`, except **do not create a virtualenv or install
|
Pyramid**. Thereby you will satisfy the following requirements.
|
|
* A Python interpreter is installed on your operating system.
|
* :term:`virtualenv` is installed.
|
* :term:`pip` will be installed when we create a virtual environment.
|
|
|
Create directory to contain the project
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
We need a workspace for our project files.
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ mkdir ~/pyramidtut
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\> mkdir pyramidtut
|
|
|
Create and use a virtual Python environment
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
Next let's create a ``virtualenv`` workspace for our project. We will use the
|
``VENV`` environment variable instead of the absolute path of the virtual
|
environment.
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ export VENV=~/pyramidtut
|
$ virtualenv $VENV
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\> set VENV=c:\pyramidtut
|
|
Each version of Python uses different paths, so you will need to adjust the
|
path to the command for your Python version.
|
|
Python 2.7:
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\> c:\Python27\Scripts\virtualenv %VENV%
|
|
Python 3.5:
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\> c:\Python35\Scripts\virtualenv %VENV%
|
|
|
Upgrade ``pip`` and ``setuptools`` in the virtual environment
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ $VENV/bin/pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\> %VENV%\Scripts\pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
|
|
|
Install Pyramid into the virtual Python environment
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ $VENV/bin/pip install pyramid
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\> %VENV%\Scripts\pip install pyramid
|
|
Change directory to your virtual Python environment
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
Change directory to the ``pyramidtut`` directory, which is both your workspace
|
and your virtual environment.
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ cd pyramidtut
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\> cd pyramidtut
|
|
.. _making_a_project:
|
|
Making a project
|
----------------
|
|
Your next step is to create a project. For this tutorial, we will use
|
the :term:`scaffold` named ``zodb``, which generates an application
|
that uses :term:`ZODB` and :term:`traversal`.
|
|
:app:`Pyramid` supplies a variety of scaffolds to generate sample projects. We
|
will use ``pcreate``, a script that comes with Pyramid, to create our project
|
using a scaffold.
|
|
By passing ``zodb`` into the ``pcreate`` command, the script creates the files
|
needed to use ZODB. By passing in our application name ``tutorial``, the script
|
inserts that application name into all the required files.
|
|
The below instructions assume your current working directory is "pyramidtut".
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ $VENV/bin/pcreate -s zodb tutorial
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\pyramidtut> %VENV%\Scripts\pcreate -s zodb tutorial
|
|
.. note:: If you are using Windows, the ``zodb`` scaffold may not deal
|
gracefully with installation into a location that contains spaces in the
|
path. If you experience startup problems, try putting both the virtualenv
|
and the project into directories that do not contain spaces in their paths.
|
|
|
.. _installing_project_in_dev_mode_zodb:
|
|
Installing the project in development mode
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
In order to do development on the project easily, you must "register" the
|
project as a development egg in your workspace using the ``pip install -e .``
|
command. In order to do so, change directory to the ``tutorial`` directory that
|
you created in :ref:`making_a_project`, and run the ``pip install -e .``
|
command using the virtualenv Python interpreter.
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ cd tutorial
|
$ $VENV/bin/pip install -e .
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\pyramidtut> cd tutorial
|
c:\pyramidtut\tutorial> %VENV%\Scripts\pip install -e .
|
|
The console will show ``pip`` checking for packages and installing missing
|
packages. Success executing this command will show a line like the following:
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|

|

|
|
|
.. _install-testing-requirements_zodb:
|
|
Install testing requirements
|
----------------------------
|
|
In order to run tests, we need to install the testing requirements. This is
|
done through our project's ``setup.py`` file, in the ``testing_extras`` and
|
``extras_requires`` stanzas, and by issuing the command below for your
|
operating system.
|
|
.. literalinclude:: src/installation/setup.py
|
:language: python
|
:linenos:
|
:lineno-start: 22
|
:lines: 22-26
|
|
.. literalinclude:: src/installation/setup.py
|
:language: python
|
:linenos:
|
:lineno-start: 45
|
:lines: 45-47
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ $VENV/bin/pip install -e ".[testing]"
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\pyramidtut\tutorial> %VENV%\Scripts\pip install -e ".[testing]"
|
|
|
.. _running_tests:
|
|
Run the tests
|
-------------
|
|
After you've installed the project in development mode as well as the testing
|
requirements, you may run the tests for the project.
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ $VENV/bin/py.test tutorial/tests.py -q
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\pyramidtut\tutorial> %VENV%\Scripts\py.test tutorial\tests.py -q
|
|
For a successful test run, you should see output that ends like this:
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
.
|
1 passed in 0.24 seconds
|
|
|
Expose test coverage information
|
--------------------------------
|
|
You can run the ``py.test`` command to see test coverage information. This
|
runs the tests in the same way that ``py.test`` does, but provides additional
|
"coverage" information, exposing which lines of your project are covered by the
|
tests.
|
|
We've already installed the ``pytest-cov`` package into our ``virtualenv``, so
|
we can run the tests with coverage.
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ $VENV/bin/py.test --cov=tutorial --cov-report=term-missing tutorial/tests.py
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\pyramidtut\tutorial> %VENV%\Scripts\py.test --cov=tutorial \
|
--cov-report=term-missing tutorial\tests.py
|
|
If successful, you will see output something like this:
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|

.. _wiki-start-the-application:
|
|
Start the application
|
---------------------
|
|
Start the application.
|
|
On UNIX
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
$ $VENV/bin/pserve development.ini --reload
|
|
On Windows
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
.. code-block:: ps1con
|
|
c:\pyramidtut\tutorial> %VENV%\Scripts\pserve development.ini --reload
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Your OS firewall, if any, may pop up a dialog asking for authorization
|
to allow python to accept incoming network connections.
|
|
If successful, you will see something like this on your console:
|
|
.. code-block:: text
|
|
Starting subprocess with file monitor
|
Starting server in PID 95736.
|
serving on http://127.0.0.1:6543
|
|
This means the server is ready to accept requests.
|
|
|
Visit the application in a browser
|
----------------------------------
|
|
In a browser, visit http://localhost:6543/. You will see the generated
|
application's default page.
|
|
One thing you'll notice is the "debug toolbar" icon on right hand side of the
|
page. You can read more about the purpose of the icon at
|
:ref:`debug_toolbar`. It allows you to get information about your
|
application while you develop.
|
|
|
Decisions the ``zodb`` scaffold has made for you
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
Creating a project using the ``zodb`` scaffold makes the following
|
assumptions:
|
|
- You are willing to use :term:`ZODB` as persistent storage.
|
|
- You are willing to use :term:`traversal` to map URLs to code.
|
|
.. note::
|
|
:app:`Pyramid` supports any persistent storage mechanism (e.g., a SQL
|
database or filesystem files). It also supports an additional
|
mechanism to map URLs to code (:term:`URL dispatch`). However, for the
|
purposes of this tutorial, we'll only be using traversal and ZODB.
