PylonsTemplates gives you additional paster templates for Pylons applications.

Once the PylonsTemplates module is installed, you can create new Pylons projects like this:

paster create -t <templatename> <projectname>

By countergram (Jason Stitt)

Based on the default Pylons paster template, the pylons_repoze_what template implements a working authorization system based on repoze.what and repoze.what-quickstart. (Authentication by repoze.who is automatically set up as well.) The template generates:

• User, Group and Permission models for SQLALchemy
• A login (& logout) controller
• A minimal template for the login form.
• A package dependency on repoze.what-pylons, which includes decorators you can use on controllers and actions.
• Commented out sample code in websetup.py that creates a user, group, and permission.

• http://code.gustavonarea.net/repoze.what-pylons/

from repoze.what.predicates import has_permission
from repoze.what.plugins.pylonshq import ActionProtector

class HelloWorldController(BaseController):
    @ActionProtector(has_permission('be_cool'))
    def index(self):
        return 'Hello World'

Based on the default Pylons paster template, but contains some refactored imports and additional example cases.

For SQLAlchemy:

• Import Session object directly, instead of accessing it through meta.Session
• Declarative object definition example

One option...

from myproject.model import Session, Foo

class MyController(BaseController):
    def index(self):
        return Session.query(Foo).all()

More reasonable...

from myproject import model
Session = model.Session # Optional (if you don't like typing model.Session)
engine = Session.bind # Optional (if you need the engine)

## Instead of:
# from myproject.model import meta
# Session = meta.Session

class MyController(BaseController):
    def index(self):
        return Session.query(model.Foo).all()

Also works in paster shell and unit tests!
