PasteScript 1.3

A pluggable command-line frontend, including commands to setup package file layouts

This is a pluggable command-line tool.

It includes some built-in features;

• Create file layouts for packages. For instance, paste create --template=basic_package MyPackage will create a setuptools-ready file layout.

• Serving up web applications, with configuration based on paste.deploy.

The latest version is available in a Subversion repository.

For the latest changes see the news file. This package requires Cheetah

Changes in 1.3

• Fixed an exception being raised when shutting down flup servers using sockets.

• Fixed the CherryPy 3 WSGI server entry point’s handling of SIGHUP and SIGTERM.

• The CherryPy wsgiserver is now available at paste.script.wsgiserver (no longer requiring CherryPy to be installed).

• Added entry point for twisted server.

• Made paste.script.pluginlib:egg_info_dir work with packages that put the Package.egg-info/ directory in a subdirectory (typically src/).

• Remove Cheetah requirement. Packages using Cheetah templates should require Cheetah themselves. If you are using paster make-config and you don’t want to use Cheetah, you must add use_cheetah = False to your Installer subclass (it defaults to true for backward compatibility).

• Make scripts work when there is no setup.py (if you aren’t making a Python/setuptools package).

• When using paste.script.copydir.copy_dir (as with most paster create templates), you can raise SkipTemplate (or call the skip_template() function) which will cause the template to be skipped. You can use this to conditionally include files.

• When using paster serve c:/..., it should no longer confuse c: with a scheme (such as config: or egg:).

• More careful about catching import errors in websetup, so if you have a bug in your app.websetup module it won’t swallow it.
