0:00 Over here in PyCharm, let's go create the same
0:03 type of app that we did on the command line interface
0:05 but this time using PyCharm.
0:08 Here you can see we don't have any recent projects
0:10 it's just basically bare.
0:11 So we'll say "Create a New Project"
0:13 and let's use Pyramid, okay great.
0:16 It says we're going to create a new virtual environment
0:19 and it's going to create it in the folder, doing exactly
0:23 exactly what we did, so we don't have to expand that out.
0:28 And we want to set the location
0:29 so let's go and say this is on desktop
0:33 just call this "PyPI Web" or something like that, okay.
0:38 And we can also, this is important
0:39 come down here to more settings.
0:41 Remember there are the different templates?
0:43 There they are again, and this is going to use
0:45 basically the same thing.
0:47 And let's go and switch that to Chameleon from Jinja2.
0:51 Okay so we're ready, we're going to do
0:53 all the stuff of running the Cookiecutter:
0:55 it's going to install Pyramid
0:58 it's going to run the right template for us
1:01 create the virtual environment, activate it
1:02 all those things, ready? Go.
1:05 They're just creating the virtual environment.
1:07 Now it's installing Pyramid.
1:12 So if we look over here, we've got our PyPI Web
1:16 and everything is pretty much up and running.
1:19 I'm not sure it's going to totally work yet, notice
1:22 it's doing some indexing down here, give it just a moment.
1:26 PyCharm knows that this project is not
1:29 installed into the virtual environment.
1:31 You can see if you just click on this terminal and all
1:32 which virtual environment it is
1:34 you can ask again which or where Python
1:37 and it's this new one that we just created
1:40 and it knows in here that this is not set up.
1:42 So it knows we need to run python setup.py develop
1:46 or I can just click that, and it's doing it for us.
1:50 See up here above it also says these packages are required
1:53 but that setup action actually installed those packages
1:57 so it kind of solves two problems at once.
2:00 Alright, now how do we go run our app?
2:02 We don't have to type pserve develop, we just press this.
2:06 and let's click it and see what happened, are we ready?
2:09 Ta-da, same thing.
2:11 Our starter template has been used to create a new
2:12 Pyramid project, this time we just called it PyPI Web
2:16 it was generated not by Cookiecutter, but by PyCharm.
2:20 Really cool, pretty much exactly the same thing
2:22 but a whole lot simpler.
2:24 All we had to do was click Create New Project, Pyramid
2:27 give it a name, and then click, it will go ahead
2:30 and set up this package to be run and edited.
