Akhet is a set of tutorial-level documentation and convenience code for Pyramid. Version 2 focuses more heavily on documentation, and does not contain an application scaffold [1]. Instead the documentation shows how to customize Pyramid’s built-in scaffolds to give a Pylons-like environment. The documentation walks through the default application’s structure, providing a supplement to the Pyramid documentation and showing how the structure differs from Pylons. It also discusses some alternative APIs and the tradeoffs between them. The Akhet library (the convenience classes) are unchanged in this release.

Akhet 2.0 runs on Python 2.5 - 2.7. The next version will probably add Python 3 and drop Python 2.5, as Pyramid 1.3 is doing.

The word “akhet” is the name of the hieroglyph that is Pylons’ icon: a sun shining over two pylons. It means “horizon” or “mountain of light”.

[1]The term “scaffold” is the same as “application template”, “paster template”, and “skeleton”. Pyramid has standardized on the term “scaffold” to avoid confusion with HTML templates.
