Pyramid Tutorial

Welcome to the Pyramid tutorial! This guide will walk you through the process of creating a web application using the Pyramid framework. Pyramid is a Python web framework that allows you to build web applications with ease.

Quick Start

Here's a quick overview of the steps you'll follow:

Install Pyramid: Use pip to install the Pyramid framework.
Create a New Project: Generate a new Pyramid project using the pcreate command.
Develop Your Application: Write your application code and templates.
Run Your Application: Start the development server and test your application.

Installation

To install Pyramid, open your terminal and run the following command:

pip install pyramid

Creating a New Project

Once Pyramid is installed, you can create a new project using the pcreate command. This command will generate a new project with a basic structure.

pcreate -s pyramid my_project

This will create a new directory called my_project with all the necessary files for a Pyramid application.

Developing Your Application

Now that you have your project set up, you can start developing your application. In your my_project directory, you'll find a file called main.py. This is the entry point for your application.

from pyramid.config import Configurator

def main(global_config, **settings):
    config = Configurator(settings=settings)
    config.add_route('home', '/')
    config.add_view('my_project.views.home', route_name='home')
    return config.make_wsgi_app()

In the views.py file, you can define your views:

from pyramid.view import view_config

@view_config(route_name='home', renderer='templates/home.pt')
def home(request):
    return {'project': 'Pyramid Tutorial'}

Running Your Application

To run your application, navigate to the my_project directory and execute the following command:

python main.py

Your application should now be running on http://localhost:6543/. You can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to that URL.
