This is just a collection of utilities that I found myself putting into every single pyramid project I made. So now they’re all in one place.

Here’s a quick taste.

Don’t do this:

def register_user(request):
    username = request.POST['username']
    password = request.POST['password']
    birthdate = request.POST['birthdate']

Do this:

@argify(birthdate=date)
def register_user(request, username, password, birthdate):
    ...

What urls does this match?

@view_config(context=Root, name='package')
def get_or_list_packages(request):
    ...

Well, it matches

• /package

• /package/

• /package/1234

• /package/wait/hold/on

• /package/this/seems/confusing

Whaaaat? Let’s fix that:

@view_config(context=Root, name='package', subpath=())
def list_packages(request):
    # return a list of packages

@view_config(context=Root, name='package', subpath=('id/*')
def get_package(request):
    package_id = request.named_subpaths['id']
    # fetch a single package

The first one matches

• /package

• /package/

The second matches

• /package/*

• /package/*/

But that still seems sloppy. You demand consistency!

@view_config(context=Root, name='package', subpath=())
@addslash
def list_packages(request):
    # return a list of packages

@view_config(context=Root, name='package', subpath=('id/*')
@addslash
def get_package(request):
    package_id = request.named_subpaths['id']
    # fetch a single package

Now it’s just /package/ and /package/*/

That’s the sales pitch. Read the docs for more details.
