Pyramid on Google’s App Engine (the easy way using buildout)

A example Pyramid application running in a local appengine development environment.

The zc.buildout based installation uses the appengine buildout integration collective.recipe.appengine.

This example was a based on some older pyramid on appengine tutorial and was developed further, because I had some issues to get it running. I cleaned it slightly up, such as moving the app to the app subdir and now it just works.

Usage

Preconditions:

  • virtual-env >= 1.9

Follow the white rabbit:

git clone git://github.com/jensens/pyramid-gae-tutorial.git
cd pyramid-gae-tutorial
/path/to/virtualenv-2.7 --no-setuptools --no-site-packages --clear .
./bin/python2.7 bootstrap.py
./bin/buildout

Run tests:

./bin/testpy -m example_app

Run apps local development server:

./bin/dev_appserver

And in your browser just point to http://localhost:8080. For admin-interface go to http://localhost:9000.

Additional information

pgk_resources
./app/pkg_resources.py was copied from distribute and you may want to keep it uptodate. To make it work I had to register the appengine loader to pkg_resources.DefaultProvider in ./app/main.py.

TODO:

  • Check if pkg_resources is still needed after reunion of setuptools and distribute.
  • Check how we can work with pycrypto and Pillow in a sane way in this environment.

Source Code

The sources are in a GIT DVCS with its main branches at github.

I'd be happy to see many forks and pull-requests to make it even better.
