I'd like to get started with Pylons, to be used on a Windows machine as a local web server. Is there any equivalent of e.g. XAMPP for Pylons that would set up everything with one installer? Edit: I've just discovered the Pylons web server. Could I use this to serve pages to computers on a LAN? ...

I've created a new Pylons application and added a controller ("main.py") with a template ("index.mako"). Now the URL http://myserver/main/index works. How do I make this the default page, ie. the one returned when I browse to http://myserver/ ? I've already added a default route in routing.py: def make_map(): """Create, configure a...
My friend and I are planning on building a sort of a forum type of webapp. We've used the major PHP frameworks but we're really thinking about using Python specifically the Pylons framework for our app. Although we're competent PHP programmers, we're somewhat noobs at Python (We could create practical scripts and such). But the thing is ...
I have a Pylons controller action that needs to return a file to the client. (The file is outside the web root, so I can't just link directly to it.) The simplest way is, of course, this: with open(filepath, 'rb') as f: response.write(f.read()) That works, but it's obviously inefficient for large files. What's the best way...
Hello. Just a quick question. When I use the _() function provided by the Pylons i18n module, everything works just as expected. My problem is with the lazy version of this function, lazy_gettext. When I run : python setup.py extract_messages I get in the POT file the strings to be translated with the _() function, but not those wuth...
I have a Pylons controller that is called via jQuery $.ajaxSubmit(). It executes a long-running operation and I want to have it return progress messages before the entire output is available. As a simple proof of concept I've tried this: response.body_file.write('<script>OnExecutionProgress("Starting");</script>\n') time.sleep(2) respon...

I've been using CakaPHP and Kohanaphp but now I want to try out other frameworks from a more sophisticated OOP language for my next projects.

I'm re-asking this question but with a different framework this time. I have two Models: User and Book with a M2M-relation. I want Book to have an attribute "read" that is True when the relation exists. Is this possible in SQLAlchemy? ...
Hello, I have been trying to add some check boxes in a pylons mako. However I don't know how to get their values in the controller. It seems that it can only get the first value of the check boxes. I tried using form encode but i got several errors. Is there an easier way to do this? Thanks ...
I am new to programming and am following the example in the Pylons documentation on creating a Wiki. The database I want to link to the wiki was created with Elixir so I rewrote the Wiki database schema and have continued from there. In the wiki there is a requirement for a Navigation table which is inherited by Pages and Sections. A s...
In my Pylons app, some content is located at URLs that look like http://mysite/data/31415. Users can go to that URL directly, or search for "31415" via the search page. My constraints, however, mean that http://mysite/data/000031415 should go to the same page as the above, as should searches for "0000000000031415." Can I strip leading...
I'm trying to access my pylons application via cron job to send notifications to my users. The way I'm doing this is by running the application using something like: paster request myconfig.ini /maintenance/do In the actual controller I check for the "paste.command_request" to block public access. Everything works but the only problem...

But I see : Unauthorized This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document you requested. Either you supplied the...
This is probably a stupid question, but what's the best way to clear class variables between instances? I know I could reset each variable individually in the constructor; but is there a way to do this in bulk? Or am I doing something totally wrong that requires a different approach? Thanks for helping ... class User(): def _...
