amazing

A web project template of Python3 using tornado and built with buildout.

Dependence

1. Python 3 (I'm using Python 3.7.2, and I suppose Python 3.5+ will do)
2. MySQL (On MacOS, I'm using [email protected], while on Linux, I'm using mariadb)

Installation

Linux

1. sudo python -m pip install zc.buildout (or python -m pip install zc.buildout --user);
2. Run make all (or reading Makefile);

MacOS

1. On MacOS, run brew install [email protected], and add this to your bashrc or zshrc;

# mysql 5.7 at MacOS
export MYSQL_HOME="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]"
export PATH="$MYSQL_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$MYSQL_HOME/lib/pkgconfig"

# For compilers to find [email protected]
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib -L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include -I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include"

2. python -m pip install zc.buildout;
3. Run make all;

Export pip packages

pip freeze | grep -Eo '(.*==)' | sed 's/==//g' > requirements.txt

Start Service

Run bin/amazing_api using default port 8000 and env dev or bin/amazing_api --port=8xxx --env=dev|prod.

Run curl http://localhost:8xxx will get a message in json format:

{
    "msg": "hello"
}

Use virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper

virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. It creates an environment that has its own installation directories, that doesn’t share libraries with other virtualenv environments (and optionally doesn’t access the globally installed libraries either). Docs can be found here.

virtualenvwrapper is a set of extensions to Ian Bicking’s virtualenv tool. The extensions include wrappers for creating and deleting virtual environments and otherwise managing your development workflow, making it easier to work on more than one project at a time without introducing conflicts in their dependencies. Docs can be found here.

Installation

1. Run python -m pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper;
2. Add source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh to your bashrc or zshrc (or source /usr/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh, you should locate on your own OS using which virtualenvwrapper.sh);

Usage

Command	Description
mkvirtualenv	create a virtual env using specified python, default using env python
lsvirtualenv	list all virtual env created
rmvirtualenv	remove specified virtual env on disk
workon	list all virtualenv if no env is specified or activate specified env
