Vanillons is a pylons app that can be used as the basis of other web applications. It will provide as a scaffold for rapidly building apps. I am tired of repeating myself! It is effectively glue code between pylons, benogle/quaid, and benogle/pylons_common. The goal is to make a runnable project here, then generate the templates for benogle/vanillons_templates.

Above this dir is a bin dir. It has an activate binary. You need to run it with virtual env. Check out the virtualenv primer

source bin/activate

I wrote benogle/pylons_common which houses much code that should not be generated by a template. This needs to be installed.

Download + extract/clone. Then run

sudo python setup.py develop

Make a vanillons DB and a vanillons_test DB, pick a db user and run in psql:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE vanillons_test TO myuser;

Change the development.ini and test.ini to reflect your db settings users:

sqlalchemy.default.url = postgresql://user:password@localhost/dbname

Generate the proper tables in your fresh new db by running

paster setup-app development.ini

Tests are run via:

sudo nosetests -s --tests=vanillons.tests

And the webserver is run via

paster serve --reload development.ini

Head over to http://localhost:5000/ and register a user. The first one registered will be donned the admin cap.

The entire point of this project it to generate templates for other pylons projects. To do so, (assuming you have benogle/vanillons_templates a dir up) go up a dir and run the findandreplace script

rm -Rf templates/vanillons
python vanillons/gen_templates/findandreplace.py templates/vanillons

Read the readme at benogle/vanillons_templates to install them if you havent already.

Try out the new templates

paster create -t vanillons MyProj

Write junk here...
