Learning resource of python pyramid

Question

I have a thread learning structure using a book, The Pyramid Web Application Development Framework . I was somewhat able to figure out sending URLs. But it’s still hard for me to understand some concepts.

Can you lead me to some tutorials for beginners? Do I need previous experience with other web frameworks?

Answer 1

You should try #pyramid, they are made from nice people, they helped me when I fought.

Answer 2

I have been a web designer for> 15 years and> 10 with Python, and I also realized that some of the concepts in Pyramid are also hard to understand.

I suggest just pushing; copy-n-paste if you need to and keep working. I notice that these concepts are "nibbling" for me after this fact, and what I used to find confused, I now take for granted. Perhaps ideas just need to be absorbed?

The organization of the code and its underlying philosophies are somewhat more abstract and perhaps therefore more complex than I'm used to with other structures, but I really enjoy the flexibility. In particular, it seems that there are always 5 ways to do something, all equal merit, when in Python we got used to the fact that some methods are more "blessed" than others.

This is just to wrap your head. Therefore, I believe that my short-term proposal is not to try. Just create something, ask questions when you get stuck, and be comfortable with the discomfort of not knowing how each little pyramid works ...

I would also recommend that you resist the urge to show your flexibility as an opportunity to make it behave like some other system (s) that you may be familiar with ... don't build the translation layer on top, Then you will struggle with the code, and not do your job, and you will find yourself deeper in the gut than you might want at that moment.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

As far as I know, there are no other pyramid books on the market. You might want to save a "cookbook" at http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_cookbook/dev/ . And, as kracekumar said, joining the #pyramid IRP channel on freenode.net is a good idea.

Answer 4

Try: Pyramid Single File Tutorial

I came across the same scenario, I was able to finish reading the Submit URLs section, but could not understand anything. Usually, when we focus on such situations, we give up easily and immediately try to use another (framework). But since I'm a pyramid fanatic (or should I say that the fan believes), I resisted the switch.

So, I went back to the Pyramid homepage and thought about looking at the cookbooks. Then I saw this Pyramid Single File Tutorial . To my surprise, I was able to understand some of the concepts quickly by simply following the steps and looking at the codes.

If you are still in Pyramid, I would suggest skipping the Dispatch URL section for now and experimenting with this tutorial first until you get comfortable with it, and then continue working with documents later.

Happy programming ^^,

Answer 5

I would suggest using Google and the Pylons mailing list.

I tried to learn TurboGears, another Python web infrastructure, and I was told to buy a book. I bought a book and then significantly changed the API so that my purchase was pointless. They are still changing it today.

A pyramid is not Turbogears, but it is based on the wisdom of other frameworks, each of which has its own methods, many of which have now turned into a pyramid. And they can change again.

So, as far as I would like to recommend you support the authors of books in their glorious search, to provide you with commercial quality documentation, libraries and software frameworks (and the projects that use them) are developing so fast that I think the Internet will remain the best way learn about them, at least until they become very mature.
