Ptah is a fast, fun, open source high-level Python web development environment.
Project description
Ptah is a fast, fun, open source high-level Python web development environment. Ptah is built on top of the Pyramid web framework. Ptah’s goal is to make developing interactive web sites and applications fun.
Ptah is loosely affiliated with the Pyramid, Django, Drupal and Zope/Plone communities.
Requirements
You will need git, python 2.7 and a new version of virtualenv.
Install
Before we start lets review what the structure will look like after you complete the instructions:
venv/
Include/
Lib/
site-packages/
bin/
python
pip
paster
ptah/
setup.py
ptah/
docs/
myapp/
setup.py
development.ini
myapp/
On Windows you will have a venv/Scripts directory not a venv/bin directory.
Lets do the needful:
$ curl -k -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py $ python2.7 virtualenv.py --no-site-packages venv $ cd venv venv$ git clone git://github.com/ptahproject/ptah.git venv$ cd ptah venv/ptah$ ../bin/python setup.py develop
If you like tests, run the tests:
venv/ptah$ ../bin/python setup.py test
Ptah 101, the Basics
The first scaffolding, ptah101, provides an example of the ptah manage facility, as well, how the form machinery works.
Use paster to create a ptah101 application:
venv/ptah$ cd .. venv$ bin/paster create -t ptah101 myapp101
Start application via Paster:
venv$ cd myapp101 venv/myapp101$ ../bin/paster serve settings.ini --reload
Ptah 102, Models
The second scaffold, ptah102, provides an example of using a sqlalchemy model and enables more features of the management ui.
Use paster to create a ptah102 application:
venv$ bin/paster create -t ptah102 myapp102
Start application via Paster:
venv$ cd myapp102 venv/myapp102$ ../bin/paster serve settings.ini --reload
Ptah 201, Security
The third scaffold adds security and demonstrates creating your own user system and protecting a resource with security (ptah-manage).
Use paster to create a ptah201 application:
venv$ bin/paster create -t ptah201 myapp201
Start application via Paster:
venv$ cd myapp201 venv/myapp201$ ../bin/paster serve settings.ini --reload
Ptah 301, a CMS
This is a fairly sophisticated example which is nearly a mini-CMS. It demonstrates nearly all the features of Ptah but is probably overwhelming for newbies.
Use paster to create a mini-cms application:
venv$ bin/paster create -t ptah301 myapp301 venv$ cd cmsapp
Start application via Paster:
venv/cmsapp$ ../bin/paster serve development.ini --reload
