.. index:: single: cookiecutter .. _cookiecutters: Pyramid cookiecutters ===================== A :term:`cookiecutter` is a command-line utility that creates projects from `cookiecutters `__ (project templates). The Pylons Project supports one official Pyramid cookiecutter `pyramid-cookiecutter-starter `_. Cookiecutters that use Pyramid can be found using a `search of the GitHub topic "cookiecutter-template" for "Pyramid" `_. You can extend Pyramid by creating a :term:`cookiecutter` project template. This is useful if you would like to distribute a customizable configuration of Pyramid to other users. Once you have created a cookiecutter, other people can use it to create a custom version of your Pyramid application. .. versionadded:: 1.8 Added cookiecutter support. .. versionchanged:: 1.10 Merged features from ``pyramid-cookiecutter-alchemy`` and ``pyramid-cookiecutter-zodb`` into the single cookiecutter to rule them all, ``pyramid-cookiecutter-starter``. .. deprecated:: 1.10 ``pyramid-cookiecutter-alchemy`` and ``pyramid-cookiecutter-zodb`` are no longer supported.
