The Akhet demo application shows the Akhet library’s features in action, and contains templates and code you can copy into your own application as a starting point. The demo is based on the former Akhet application scaffold from Akhet 1, and what users of that scaffold have later reported doing in their more recent applications.
The demo is distributed separately from Akhet due to its larger number of dependencies and more frequent changes. The Akhet library focuses on stability and backward compatibility, while the demo is free to experiment more and make backward-incompatible changes, and is in a permanent development mode.
You can install the demo it from its source repository like any Pyramid application:
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages ~/directory/myvenv
$ source ~/directory/myvenv/bin/activate
(myvenv)$ git clone git://github.com/mikeorr/akhet_demo
(myvenv)$ cd akhet_demo
(myvenv)$ pip install -e .
(myvenv)$ pserve development.ini
