Let's review creating Pyramid web apps with PyCharm.
0:04
So remember, we just go new project, and we pick Pyramid
0:08
and then we pick a new virtual environment.
0:10
We set the location, which basically names our website.
0:13
And make sure you expand out the more settings
0:15
and choose Starter and Chameleon.
0:18
So Pyramid, virtual environment, Starter and Chameleon.
0:22
Basically, it solves a whole bunch of those things
0:24
we did at once.
0:27
And then the final thing to do is to run the setup.py task
0:30
in development mode.
0:32
Now, if you don't get that little dialogue that says
0:34
hey you need to run it this way
0:35
you can go to tools, run setup.py task
0:37
and just type develop.
0:39
But the newest version of PyCharm typically
0:41
finds that and you just click that little bar
0:43
that comes up across the top.
0:45
Then you're ready to run your app.
0:46
How do you run it?
0:47
Well, you click that little play button
0:49
and it runs, and then you go interact with it.
0:51
Easiest way to do that is just to click the hyperlink
0:53
at the bottom and boom, your site's up and running.
0:57
So this is really a nice way to create new projects.
0:59
Honestly, I don't use it very often these days.
1:02
When I was new to Pyramid, I would use PyCharm
1:06
to create those projects and it helped a lot.
1:07
The more I got good at working with Pyramid directly
1:12
I find myself going to the command line more
1:14
and sort of doing stuff manually.
1:16
But either way is totally fine
1:18
this is certainly a good way to get started
1:20
because it helps you through a lot of the steps
1:22
and it makes it real, real simple.
