User registration and login system for the Pyramid Web Framework.

Pylons

Pylons is a rapid web application development framework.

Note

Pylons has merged with repoze.bfg, and is now in maintenance-only mode. It's highly recommended that new projects start with the new merged web framework, pyramid.

Install

Read the online Installation instructions.

If you want to install from source you can run the following command:

This will display a message and download setuptools if the module is not already installed. It will then install Pylons and all its dependencies. You may need root privileges to install setuptools.

Testing

To test the source distribution run the following command:

This will install additional dependencies needed for the tests. As above, you may need root privileges.

Documentation

Read the complete Pylons web framework documentation.

Definitive Guide to Pylons is a book about Pylons published by Apress, written by James Gardner, with free HTML rendering.

Generating documentation requires Sphinx:

Then to build the documentation use the commands:

horus's Issues

testing fails due to database not being initialized

In an attempt to package horus, I stumbled upon the test suite failing on many tests, which boils down to a missing database initialization:

Questions

1. I cannot execute the tests because test.ini says "use = egg:horus_demo" but there is no horus_demo in the repository. Are we missing some files in the repository?

2. Wouldn't it be better for a new project such as this to use my project nine instead of six for Python 2/3 compatibility? The advantage would be that the code would look more like Python 3.
   https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nine

3. Sending out emails should also be a strategy, it may have several different implementations. One of the implementations, which interests me, is to have a background Celery task sending out emails. Is this idea OK with your project design? Should the documentation mention it?

4. Have you heard of Persona?

   Do we like it?
