grokproject 0.7

Script that sets up a grok project directory, installs Zope 3 and grok and creates a template for a grok application.

grokproject provides an easy way to get started with a grok web application. Simply install grokproject:

$ easy_install grokproject

and run the grokproject script with the name of the project you’d like to create as an argument:

$ grokproject MammothHerd
... many lines of output here

This will not only create a project area for you to work in, it will also download and install grok and Zope 3 (the application server grok is built on).

After the project area has been created successfully, you will find an empty Python package in the src directory in which you can place the code for your web application. To start the Zope server, execute bin/zopectl fg.

Changes

0.7 (2008-04-22)

• Each of the interactive questions can now be set with an commandline option.

• No longer ask for the name of the module that will contain the grok.Application subclass. It’s ‘app.py’ by default now, a rename is easy enough to do later on.

• Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161947: The buildout.cfg template contained the [data] section twice.

• Generate <includeDependencies package="." /> statement by default. If new dependencies are added to setup.py that need ZCML, the ZCML will be automatically loaded. (Depends on a new release of Grok with z3c.autoinclude)

0.6 (2007-10-10)

• Added include package directive to ftesting.zcml_tmpl to enable functional testing of the generated application.

• Updated template for site.zcml, no annoying warning at start.

• Added buildout support for i18n (thanks to lovely.recipe.i18n).

• The buildout.cfg that is created now has an extends directive that points to URL of the version.cfg of the current Grok release. This URL can be overridden with the –version-info-url commandline option.

  See http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/readme.html for more information.

0.5.1 (2007-07-14)

• Use the new ‘application’ recipe from zc.zope3recipes so that we can get rid of the dead chicken [zope3] section in buildout.cfg.

0.5 (2007-07-14)

• The bin/instance script has been renamed to bin/zopectl for better recognizability.

• grokproject is much quieter by default (by quieting down PasteScript, easy_install and zc.buildout). Use the -v option for verbose mode.

• Fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/119805: A new project created with grokproject can’t be called ‘grok’ or ‘zope’.

• By default, zc.buildout will now be told to place eggs in a user-specified shared eggs directory. Also, it will not look for newer versions of existing eggs by default.

0.4 (2007-07-12)

• As grok now depends on Zope 3.4 eggs, use zc.zope3recipes application and instance recipes.

• Don’t spawn processes to bootstrap and run the buildout. Instead, try to simply import zc.buildout. If that doesn’t work, call the setuptools API to install it and then simply import it.

• Fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/113103: Default index template was missing closing html tag.
