Introduction
************

``birdhousebuilder.recipe.pywps`` is a `Buildout`_ recipe to install and configure `PyWPS`_ with `Anaconda`_. `PyWPS`_ is a Python implementation of a `Web Processing Service`_ (WPS). ``PyWPS`` will be deployed as a `Supervisor`_ service and is available behind a `Nginx`_ web server.
This recipe is used by the `Birdhouse`_ project.

Usage
*****

The recipe requires that Anaconda is already installed. You can use the buildout option ``anaconda-home`` to set the prefix for the anaconda installation. Otherwise the environment variable ``CONDA_PREFIX`` (variable is set when activating a conda environment) is used as conda prefix.

It installs the ``pywps`` package from a conda channel in a conda environment defined by ``CONDA_PREFIX``. The location of the intallation is given by the ``prefix`` buildout option. It setups a `PyWPS`_ output folder in ``${prefix}/var/lib/pywps``. It deploys a `Supervisor`_ configuration for ``PyWPS`` in ``${prefix}/etc/supervisor/conf.d/pywps.conf``. Supervisor can be started with ``${prefix}/etc/init.d/supervisor start``.

The recipe will install the ``nginx`` package from a conda channel and deploy a Nginx site configuration for ``PyWPS``. The configuration will be deployed in ``${prefix}/etc/nginx/conf.d/pywps.conf``. Nginx will be started by supervisor.

By default ``PyWPS`` will be available on http://localhost:8091/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities.

The recipe depends on:

* ``birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda``,
* ``birdhousebuilder.recipe.supervisor``,
* ``birdhousebuilder.recipe.nginx`` and
* ``zc.recipe.deployment``.

Example usage
=============

The following example ``buildout.cfg`` installs ``PyWPS`` with Anaconda::

[buildout]
parts = pywps

[pywps]
recipe = birdhousebuilder.recipe.pywps
name = myproject
prefix = /
user = www-data
hostname = localhost
http-port = 8091
https-port = 28091

# pywps options
processes-import = myproject.processes
processes-path = ${buildout:directory}/myproject/processes
title = MyProject ...
abstract = MyProject does ...

After installing with Buildout start the ``PyWPS`` service with::

$ cd ${prefix}
$ etc/init.d/supervisord start # start|stop|restart
$ etc/init.d/nginx start # start|stop|restart
$ bin/supervisorctl status # check that pycsw is running
$ less var/log/pywps/myproject.log # check log file

Open your browser with the following URL::

http://localhost:8091/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities
