Synopsis

Pyramid AssetMutator provides simple and dynamic asset mutation (also known as compiling or piping) for your Pyramid applications.

Inspired by other more powerful asset management packages, its goal is to provide a basic and straightforward mechanism for asset compilation (e.g. CoffeeScript/LESS), minification (e.g. jsmin), and optimization (e.g. pngcrush).

As of version 0.3, it also adds experimental support for template language parsing (e.g. you could use view helpers like request.route_url() in your CoffeeScript by installing the pyramid_jinja2 package and using application.coffee.jinja2 as the asset source filename).

Installation

To install, simply:

pip install pyramid_assetmutator

• You’ll need to have Python 2.6+ and pip installed.

Documentation

You can read the documentation at: https://pyramid-assetmutator.readthedocs.io/

Known Issues and Limitations

• Experimental support for Py3k/pypy.

• Doesn’t clean up after itself (compiled/mutated assets aren’t removed automatically).

• Mutator “commands” must print to stdout (see the documentation for more info).

• Hopefully obvious, but you have to actually have the specified compiler command installed and accessible from your working path in order for it to work.

Latest Changes

v0.4 – 09/16/2016

• Fixed a bug where mutated files could be created with incorrect filenames if the each_boot setting was enabled with a remutate_check value of mtime or checksum.

• Fixed a Windows bug due to shlex.split usage (thanks @tdamsma).

• Added a purge_mutated_path setting which can be used to remove all files from a specified mutated_path upon application boot.
