pp.server - Produce & Publish Server

Project description

pp.server is a Pyramid based server implementation and implements the server side functionality of the Produce & Publish platform. It is known as the Produce & Publish Server.

The Produce & Publish Server provided web service APIs for converting HTML/XML + assets to PDF using one of the following external PDF converters:

  • PrinceXML (www.princexml.com)

  • PDFreactor (www.realobjects.com)

In addition the Produce & Publish server provides a simple conversion API for converting format A to B (as supported through LibreOffice or OpenOffice). The conversion is build on top of unoconv`.

The web service provides both syncronous and asyncronous operations.

Requirements

  • 2.7 (no Python 3 support, no support for older Python versions)

Installation

  • create an virtualenv environment (Python 2.7) - either within your current (empty) directory or by letting virtualenv create one for you. (easy_install virtualenv if virtualenv is not available on your system):

    virtualenv --no-site-packages .

    or:

    virtualenv --no-site-packages pp.server
  • install the Produce & Publish server:

    bin/easy_install pp.server
  • create a server.ini configuration file (and change it according to your needs):

    [DEFAULT]
    debug = true
    
    [app:main]
    use = egg:pp.server
    reload_templates = true
    debug_authorization = false
    debug_notfound = false
    
    [server:main]
    use = egg:waitress#main
    host = 127.0.0.1
    port = 6543
  • start the server (in foreground):

    bin/pserve server.ini
  • or start it in background:

    bin/pserve server.ini  --daemon
