Offcourse you need to have Appengine on your system

Some Examples

Creating Model, View, Controller, Form and Handler in your Project

Open the manage.py console in you project and type:

hal>>mvcfh Galery.Photo

The console will give you the opportunity to setup the model:

..............class Galery.Photo(db.Model):
Property0>........

Populate it like this:

..............class Galery.Photo(db.Model):
Property0>........Name str required=True
Property1>........Description txt
Property2>........DateCreated date
Property3>........Content blob
Property4>........MimeType str
Property5>........
Save Galery.Photo?(y/n) y

With this you have defined the Model, It’s controller, forms and also address binding which is added in the handlerMap.py file

You can also add different Models under the ‘Package’ Galery and use them in the code

Later you can

Manipulate you Galery Package

With

Exporting it to some directory:

hal>pack package Galery /some/destination/NameOfThePackage

Also unpack it from there to some other Hal project:

hal>unpack package Galery /from/the/package/directory

Or delete it if you were just playing:

hal>del package Galery
