Quick Start

Wire pyramid-sa into your Pyramid app factory:

from pyramid.config import Configurator


def create_app(global_config=None, dbengine=None, **settings):
    config = Configurator(settings=settings)

    if dbengine is not None:
        config.registry["dbengine"] = dbengine

    config.include("pyramid_sa")
    config.sa_enable_audit()          # optional: auto-populate audit fields
    config.sa_enable_soft_delete()    # optional: soft-delete behavior
    config.sa_scan_models("myapp.models")

    config.scan(".views")
    return config.make_wsgi_app()

See Getting Started for a full walkthrough of what config.include("pyramid_sa") sets up, model definitions, and next steps.
