A Plone installer for the pip-loving crowd
Project description
plock
A Plone installer for the pip-loving crowd.
Installation
Plock enables the installation of Plone with pip:
$ pip install plock $ plock . Creating virtualenv... Installing Buildout... Running Buildout... (this may take a while) Done, now run: ./bin/plone fg $ bin/plone fg
FAQ
Why build Plock on top of Buildout?
Plock is a work around for pip install Plone which technically works, but requires a lengthy requirements.txt file and is missing features provided by Buildout e.g. “instance” creation.
Why support pip?
To advance the state of Plone such that Buildout can be used, but not required.
Why make Buildout optional?
To market Plone to Python programmers who are generally more familiar with pip than Buildout.
Why the name Plock?
Plock is a single by the band Plone. It is also the name of a city in Poland.
