.. _wiki2_installation: ============ Installation ============ Before you begin ---------------- This tutorial assumes that you have already followed the steps in :ref:`installing_chapter`, except **do not create a virtual environment or install Pyramid**. Thereby you will satisfy the following requirements. * A Python interpreter is installed on your operating system. * You've satisfied the :ref:`requirements-for-installing-packages`. Install SQLite3 and its development packages -------------------------------------------- If you used a package manager to install your Python or if you compiled your Python from source, then you must install SQLite3 and its development packages. If you downloaded your Python as an installer from https://www.python.org, then you already have it installed and can skip this step. If you need to install the SQLite3 packages, then, for example, using the Debian system and ``apt-get``, the command would be the following: .. code-block:: bash sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev Install cookiecutter -------------------- We will use a :term:`cookiecutter` to create a Python package project from a Python package project template. See `Cookiecutter Installation `_ for instructions. Generate a Pyramid project from a cookiecutter ---------------------------------------------- We will create a Pyramid project in your home directory for Unix or at the root for Windows. It is assumed you know the path to where you installed ``cookiecutter``. Issue the following commands and override the defaults in the prompts as follows. On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash cd ~ cookiecutter gh:Pylons/pyramid-cookiecutter-starter --checkout 1.10-branch On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: doscon cd \ cookiecutter gh:Pylons/pyramid-cookiecutter-starter --checkout 1.10-branch On all operating systems ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If prompted for the first item, accept the default ``yes`` by hitting return. .. code-block:: text You've cloned ~/.cookiecutters/pyramid-cookiecutter-starter before. Is it okay to delete and re-clone it? [yes]: yes project_name [Pyramid Scaffold]: myproj repo_name [myproj]: tutorial Select template_language: 1 - jinja2 2 - chameleon 3 - mako Choose from 1, 2, 3 [1]: 1 Select backend: 1 - none 2 - sqlalchemy 3 - zodb Choose from 1, 2, 3 [1]: 2 Change directory into your newly created project ------------------------------------------------ On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash cd tutorial On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: doscon cd tutorial Set and use a ``VENV`` environment variable ------------------------------------------- We will set the ``VENV`` environment variable to the absolute path of the virtual environment, and use it going forward. On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash export VENV=~/tutorial On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: doscon set VENV=c:\tutorial Create a virtual environment ---------------------------- On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash python3 -m venv $VENV On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ Each version of Python uses different paths, so you will need to adjust the path to the command for your Python version. Recent versions of the Python 3 installer for Windows now install a Python launcher. Python 2.7: .. code-block:: doscon c:\Python27\Scripts\virtualenv %VENV% Python 3.7: .. code-block:: doscon python -m venv %VENV% Upgrade packaging tools in the virtual environment -------------------------------------------------- On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash $VENV/bin/pip install --upgrade pip setuptools On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: doscon %VENV%\Scripts\pip install --upgrade pip setuptools .. _installing_project_in_dev_mode: Installing the project in development mode ------------------------------------------ In order to do development on the project easily, you must "register" the project as a development egg in your workspace. We will install testing requirements at the same time. We do so with the following command. On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash $VENV/bin/pip install -e ".[testing]" On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: doscon %VENV%\Scripts\pip install -e ".[testing]" On all operating systems ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The console will show ``pip`` checking for packages and installing missing packages. Success executing this command will show a line like the following: .. code-block:: bash Successfully installed Jinja2-2.8 Mako-1.0.6 MarkupSafe-0.23 \ PasteDeploy-1.5.2 Pygments-2.1.3 SQLAlchemy-1.1.4 WebOb-1.6.3 \ WebTest-2.0.24 beautifulsoup4-4.5.1 coverage-4.2 py-1.4.32 pyramid-1.7.3 \ pyramid-debugtoolbar-3.0.5 pyramid-jinja2-2.7 pyramid-mako-1.0.2 \ pyramid-tm-1.1.1 pytest-3.0.5 pytest-cov-2.4.0 repoze.lru-0.6 six-1.10.0 \ transaction-2.0.3 translationstring-1.3 tutorial venusian-1.0 \ waitress-1.0.1 zope.deprecation-4.2.0 zope.interface-4.3.3 \ zope.sqlalchemy-0.7.7 Testing requirements are defined in our project's ``setup.py`` file, in the ``tests_require`` and ``extras_require`` stanzas. .. literalinclude:: src/installation/setup.py :language: python :lineno-match: :lines: 24-28 .. literalinclude:: src/installation/setup.py :language: python :lineno-match: :lines: 48-50 .. _initialize_db_wiki2: Initialize and upgrade the database using Alembic ------------------------------------------------- We use :term:`Alembic` to manage our database initialization and migrations. Generate your first revision.

You should now have a ``tutorial.sqlite`` file in your current working directory. This is an SQLite database with a single table defined in it (``models``) and single record inside of that. .. _sql_running_tests: Run the tests ------------- After you've installed the project in development mode as well as the testing requirements, you may run the tests for the project. The following commands provide options to ``pytest`` that specify the module for which its tests shall be run, and to run ``pytest`` in quiet mode. On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash $VENV/bin/pytest -q On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: doscon %VENV%\Scripts\pytest -q For a successful test run, you should see output that ends like this: .. code-block:: bash .. 2 passed in 0.44 seconds Expose test coverage information -------------------------------- You can run the ``pytest`` command to see test coverage information. This runs the tests in the same way that ``pytest`` does, but provides additional :term:`coverage` information, exposing which lines of your project are covered by the tests. We've already installed the ``pytest-cov`` package into our virtual environment, so we can run the tests with coverage. On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash $VENV/bin/pytest --cov --cov-report=term-missing On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: doscon c:\tutorial> %VENV%\Scripts\pytest --cov --cov-report=term-missing If successful, you will see output something like this: .. code-block:: bash ======================== test session starts ======================== platform Python 3.6.5, pytest-3.6.2, py-1.5.3, pluggy-0.6.0 rootdir: //tutorial, inifile: pytest.ini plugins: cov-2.5.1 collected 2 items tutorial/tests.py .. ------------------ coverage: platform Python 3.6.5 ------------------ Name Stmts Miss Cover Missing ----------------------------------------------------------------- tutorial/__init__.py 8 6 25% 7-12 tutorial/models/__init__.py 24 0 100% tutorial/models/meta.py 5 0 100% tutorial/models/mymodel.py 8 0 100% tutorial/routes.py 3 3 0% 1-3 tutorial/scripts/__init__.py 0 0 100% tutorial/scripts/initialize_db.py 24 24 0% 1-34 tutorial/views/__init__.py 0 0 100% tutorial/views/default.py 12 0 100% tutorial/views/notfound.py 4 4 0% 1-7 ----------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL 88 37 58% ===================== 2 passed in 0.57 seconds ====================== Our package doesn't quite have 100% test coverage. .. _test_and_coverage_cookiecutter_defaults_sql: Test and coverage cookiecutter defaults --------------------------------------- Cookiecutters include configuration defaults for ``pytest`` and test coverage. These configuration files are ``pytest.ini`` and ``.coveragerc``, located at the root of your package. Without these defaults, we would need to specify the path to the module on which we want to run tests and coverage. On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash $VENV/bin/pytest --cov=tutorial tutorial/tests.py -q On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: doscon %VENV%\Scripts\pytest --cov=tutorial tutorial\tests.py -q pytest follows :ref:`conventions for Python test discovery `, and the configuration defaults from the cookiecutter tell ``pytest`` where to find the module on which we want to run tests and coverage. .. seealso:: See ``pytest``'s documentation for :ref:`pytest:usage` or invoke ``pytest -h`` to see its full set of options. .. _wiki2-start-the-application: Start the application --------------------- Start the application. See :ref:`what_is_this_pserve_thing` for more information on ``pserve``. On Unix ^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash $VENV/bin/pserve development.ini --reload On Windows ^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: doscon %VENV%\Scripts\pserve development.ini --reload .. note:: Your OS firewall, if any, may pop up a dialog asking for authorization to allow python to accept incoming network connections. If successful, you will see something like this on your console: .. code-block:: text Starting subprocess with file monitor Starting server in PID 44078. Serving on http://localhost:6543 Serving on http://localhost:6543 This means the server is ready to accept requests. Visit the application in a browser ---------------------------------- In a browser, visit http://localhost:6543/. You will see the generated application's default page. One thing you'll notice is the "debug toolbar" icon on right hand side of the page. You can read more about the purpose of the icon at :ref:`debug_toolbar`. It allows you to get information about your application while you develop. Decisions the cookiecutter backend option ``sqlalchemy`` has made for you ------------------------------------------------------------------------- When creating a project and selecting the backend option of ``sqlalchemy``, the cookiecutter makes the following assumptions: - You are willing to use SQLite for persistent storage, although almost any SQL database could be used with SQLAlchemy. - You are willing to use :term:`SQLAlchemy` for a database access tool. - You are willing to use :term:`Alembic` for a database migrations tool. - You are willing to use a :term:`console script` for a data loading tool. - You are willing to use :term:`URL dispatch` to map URLs to code. - You want to use zope.sqlalchemy_, pyramid_tm_, and the transaction_ packages to scope sessions to requests. .. note:: :app:`Pyramid` supports any persistent storage mechanism (e.g., object database or filesystem files). It also supports an additional mechanism to map URLs to code (:term:`traversal`). However, for the purposes of this tutorial, we'll only be using :term:`URL dispatch` and :term:`SQLAlchemy`. .. _pyramid_jinja2: https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-jinja2/en/latest/ .. _pyramid_tm: https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-tm/en/latest/ .. _zope.sqlalchemy: https://pypi.org/project/zope.sqlalchemy/ .. _transaction: https://zodb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/transactions.html
