pyramid-cookiecutter-alchemy

Deprecation notice

This cookiecutter has been deprecated in favor of the unified cookiecutter pyramid-cookiecutter-starter effective with the release of Pyramid 1.10. pyramid-cookiecutter-starter combines all features of pyramid-cookiecutter-alchemy and pyramid-cookiecutter-zodb. Please use pyramid-cookiecutter-starter instead of this one. This cookiecutter may not receive further updates.

A Cookiecutter (project template) for creating a Pyramid project using SQLite for persistent storage, SQLAlchemy for an ORM, Alembic for database migrations, URL dispatch for routing, and Jinja2 for templating.

Requirements

• Python 2.7 or 3.4+
• cookiecutter

Versions

This cookiecutter has several branches to support new features in Pyramid or avoid incompatibilities.

• latest aligns with the latest stable release of Pyramid, and is the default branch on GitHub.
• master aligns with the master branch of Pyramid, and is where development takes place.
• x.y-branch aligns with the x.y-branch branch of Pyramid.

Usage

1. Generate a Pyramid project, following the prompts from the command.

   $ cookiecutter gh:Pylons/pyramid-cookiecutter-alchemy

   Optionally append a specific branch checkout to the command:

   $ cookiecutter gh:Pylons/pyramid-cookiecutter-alchemy --checkout master

2. Finish configuring the project by creating a virtual environment and installing your new project. These steps are output as part of the cookiecutter command above and are slightly different for Windows.

   # Change directory into your newly created project.
   $ cd myproj
   # Create a virtual environment...
   $ python3 -m venv env
   # ...where we upgrade packaging tools...
   $ env/bin/pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
   # ...and into which we install our project and its testing requirements.
   $ env/bin/pip install -e ".[testing]"

3. Initialize and upgrade the database using Alembic.

   # Generate your first revision.
   $ env/bin/alembic -c development.ini revision --autogenerate -m "init"
   # Upgrade to that revision.
   $ env/bin/alembic -c development.ini upgrade head

4. Load default data into the database using a script.

   $ env/bin/initialize_tutorial_db development.ini

5. Run your project's tests.

   $ env/bin/pytest

6. Run your project.

   $ env/bin/pserve development.ini
