A generic web-based browser of ZODB databases.
Project description
Overview
Eye provides a browser-based UI to browse the contents of a ZODB database.
It can also be used as a generic Python object browser.
Installation
At this point Eye has been tested on Python 2.6.
Eye has a few dependencies including the Pyramid web framework. Therefore it’s recommended to install it in a virtualenv or buildout to keep it isolated from other software on your system.
Assuming you have virtualenv installed, the following commands will install Eye:
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages eye $ cd eye $ bin/pip install eye
This creates a new virtualenv in the eye directory, and installs the eye console script into the bin subdirectory.
Basic usage
Inspect a ZODB filestorage
$ bin/eye [path to Data.fs]
Then open your browser to http://localhost:8080/
Inspect an arbitrary object
>>> from datetime import datetime >>> foo = datetime.now() >>> import eye; eye.eye(foo)
