bottlepy-bootstrap is my skeleton Bottle (Python) application bootstrap application. It has basic setup for running a Bottle web application, model components, and unit tests.

Features

• SQLAlchemy for database support
• Beaker for session middleware management
• Nose (with rednose for coloring) for running unit tests
• Fabric script to deploy to Amazon EC2 (using boto)
• jQuery 1.9.0
• Twitter Bootstrap 2.2.2

To start a new project follow these steps:

1. Create a directory for your application
2. Copy all the files and directories found in this repo into your new directory
3. Open a terminal, change directory to app, and run ./start.sh
4. Open a browser and go to http://localhost:8080

Here are the basics of how this is all layed out.

The majority of the configuration is found in the config.py file found in the root of this repository. Here you will find settings to turn on DEBUG mode, database connection information, and session management information.

This bootstrap offers a basic domain model concept. Essentially you get a basic set of classes for Service and DAO (Data Access Object) components. A factory object is provided as a place for your application get easy access to all your service components. An simple example service object is provided.

The web application lives in the app directory. Here you will find controllers, views, static resources (CSS, JS, images) and the primary WSGI startup script. A sample controller and view are provided, as well as a Twitter Bootstrap layout.

The tests directory contains unit tests for testing your services, controllers, and whatever else tickles your fancy.

This is where scripts go. I have a basic script to deploy the application to servers running on Amazon EC2 based on the tags Name and env (environment). It basically assumes you have a Git repository on the EC2 instance, and are pulling updates.

A CSS/JS bundle/minify script is also provided that will bundle and minify all CSS/JS found in the main layout file, then replace the JS/CSS references in the layout to point to the newly minified file.
