Description: Pyramid
        =======
        
        Pyramid is a small, fast, down-to-earth, open source Python web development
        framework. It makes real-world web application development and deployment
        more fun, more predictable, and more productive.
        
        Pyramid is a `Pylons <http://docs.pylonshq.com/>`_ project, and underlies the
        newest web frameworks produced by the Pylons community.
        
        Pyramid was previously known as `repoze.bfg <http://bfg.repoze.org>`_.

        1.0a6 (2010-12-15)
        ==================
        
        Bug Fixes
        ---------
        
        - 1.0a5 introduced a bug when ``pyramid.config.Configurator.scan`` was used
        without a ``package`` argument (e.g. ``config.scan()`` as opposed to
        ``config.scan('packagename')``.  The symptoms were: lots of deprecation
        warnings printed to the console about imports of deprecated Pyramid
        functions and classes and non-detection of view callables decorated with
        ``view_config`` decorators.  This has been fixed.
        
        - Tests now pass on Windows (no bugs found, but a few tests in the test suite
        assumed UNIX path segments in filenames).
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        - If you followed it to-the-letter, the ZODB+Traversal Wiki tutorial would
        instruct you to run a test which would fail because the view callable
        generated by the ``pyramid_zodb`` tutorial used a one-arg view callable,
        but the test in the sample code used a two-arg call.
        
        - Updated ZODB+Traversal tutorial setup.py of all steps to match what's
        generated by ``pyramid_zodb``.
        
        - Fix reference to ``repoze.bfg.traversalwrapper`` in "Models" chapter (point
        at ``pyramid_traversalwrapper`` instead).
        
        1.0a5 (2010-12-14)
        ==================
        
        Features
        --------
        
        - Add a ``handler`` ZCML directive.  This directive does the same thing as
        ``pyramid.configuration.add_handler``.
        
        - A new module named ``pyramid.config`` was added.  It subsumes the duties of
        the older ``pyramid.configuration`` module.
        
        - The new ``pyramid.config.Configurator` class has API methods that the older
        ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` class did not: ``with_context`` (a
        classmethod), ``include``, ``action``, and ``commit``.  These methods exist
        for imperative application extensibility purposes.
        
        - The ``pyramid.testing.setUp`` function now accepts an ``autocommit``
        keyword argument, which defaults to ``True``.  If it is passed ``False``,
        the Config object returned by ``setUp`` will be a non-autocommiting Config
        object.
        
        - Add logging configuration to all paster templates.
        
        - ``pyramid_alchemy``, ``pyramid_routesalchemy``, and ``pylons_sqla`` paster
        templates now use idiomatic SQLAlchemy configuration in their respective
        ``.ini`` files and Python code.
        
        - ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` now has a class variable,
        ``query_string``, which defaults to the empty string.
        
        - Add support for json on GAE by catching NotImplementedError and importing
        simplejson from django.utils.
        
        - The Mako renderer now accepts a resource specification for
        ``mako.module_directory``.
        
        - New boolean Mako settings variable ``mako.strict_undefined``.  See `Mako
        Context Variables
        <http://www.makotemplates.org/docs/runtime.html#context-variables>`_ for
        its meaning.
        
        Dependencies
        ------------
        
        - Depend on Mako 0.3.6+ (we now require the ``strict_undefined`` feature).
        
        Bug Fixes
        ---------
        
        - When creating a Configurator from within a ``paster pshell`` session, you
        were required to pass a ``package`` argument although ``package`` is not
        actually required.  If you didn't pass ``package``, you would receive an
        error something like ``KeyError: '__name__'`` emanating from the
        ``pyramid.path.caller_module`` function.  This has now been fixed.
        
        - The ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` paster template's unit tests failed
        (``AssertionError: 'SomeProject' != 'someproject'``).  This is fixed.
        
        - Make default renderer work (renderer factory registered with no name, which
        is active for every view unless the view names a specific renderer).
        
        - The Mako renderer did not properly turn the ``mako.imports``,
        ``mako.default_filters``, and ``mako.imports`` settings into lists.
        
        - The Mako renderer did not properly convert the ``mako.error_handler``
        setting from a dotted name to a callable.
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        - Merged many wording, readability, and correctness changes to narrative
        documentation chapters from https://github.com/caseman/pyramid (up to and
        including "Models" narrative chapter).
        
        - "Sample Applications" section of docs changed to note existence of Cluegun,
        Shootout and Virginia sample applications, ported from their repoze.bfg
        origin packages.
        
        - SQLAlchemy+URLDispatch tutorial updated to integrate changes to
        ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` template.
        
        - Add ``pyramid.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` interface to Interfaces API
        chapter (has ``implementation()`` method, required to be used when getting
        at Chameleon macros).
        
        - Add a "Modifying Package Structure" section to the project narrative
        documentation chapter (explain turning a module into a package).
        
        - Documentation was added for the new ``handler`` ZCML directive in the ZCML
        section.
        
        Deprecations
        ------------
        
        - ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` is now deprecated.  Use
        ``pyramid.config.Configurator``, passing its constructor
        ``autocommit=True`` instead.  The ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator``
        alias will live for a long time, as every application uses it, but its
        import now issues a deprecation warning.  The
        ``pyramid.config.Configurator`` class has the same API as
        ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` class, which it means to replace,
        except by default it is a *non-autocommitting* configurator. The
        now-deprecated ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` will autocommit every
        time a configuration method is called.
        
        The ``pyramid.configuration`` module remains, but it is deprecated.  Use
        ``pyramid.config`` instead.
        
        1.0a4 (2010-11-21)
        ==================
        
        Features
        --------
        
        - URL Dispatch now allows for replacement markers to be located anywhere
        in the pattern, instead of immediately following a ``/``.
        
        - URL Dispatch now uses the form ``{marker}`` to denote a replace marker in
        the route pattern instead of ``:marker``. The old colon-style marker syntax
        is still accepted for backwards compatibility. The new format allows a
        regular expression for that marker location to be used instead of the
        default ``[^/]+``, for example ``{marker:\d+}`` is now valid to require the
        marker to be digits.
        
        - Add a ``pyramid.url.route_path`` API, allowing folks to generate relative
        URLs.  Calling ``route_path`` is the same as calling
        ``pyramid.url.route_url`` with the argument ``_app_url`` equal to the empty
        string.
        
        - Add a ``pyramid.request.Request.route_path`` API.  This is a convenience
        method of the request which calls ``pyramid.url.route_url``.
        
        - Make test suite pass on Jython (requires PasteScript trunk, presumably to
        be 1.7.4).
        
        - Make test suite pass on PyPy (Chameleon doesn't work).
        
        - Surrounding application configuration with ``config.begin()`` and
        ``config.end()`` is no longer necessary.  All paster templates have been
        changed to no longer call these functions.
        
        - Fix configurator to not convert ``ImportError`` to ``ConfigurationError``
        if the import that failed was unrelated to the import requested via a
        dotted name when resolving dotted names (such as view dotted names).
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        - SQLAlchemy+URLDispatch and ZODB+Traversal tutorials have been updated to
        not call ``config.begin()`` or ``config.end()``.
        
        Bug Fixes
        ---------
        
        - Add deprecation warnings to import of ``pyramid.chameleon_text`` and
        ``pyramid.chameleon_zpt`` of ``get_renderer``, ``get_template``,
        ``render_template``, and ``render_template_to_response``.
        
        - Add deprecation warning for import of ``pyramid.zcml.zcml_configure`` and
        ``pyramid.zcml.file_configure``.
        
        - The ``pyramid_alchemy`` paster template had a typo, preventing an import
        from working.
        
        - Fix apparent failures when calling ``pyramid.traversal.find_model(root,
        path)`` or ``pyramid.traversal.traverse(path)`` when ``path`` is
        (erroneously) a Unicode object. The user is meant to pass these APIs a
        string object, never a Unicode object.  In practice, however, users indeed
        pass Unicode.  Because the string that is passed must be ASCII encodeable,
        now, if they pass a Unicode object, its data is eagerly converted to an
        ASCII string rather than being passed along to downstream code as a
        convenience to the user and to prevent puzzling second-order failures from
        cropping up (all failures will occur within ``pyramid.traversal.traverse``
        rather than later down the line as the result of calling e.g.
        ``traversal_path``).
        
        Backwards Incompatibilities
        ---------------------------
        
        - The ``pyramid.testing.zcml_configure`` API has been removed.  It had been
        advertised as removed since repoze.bfg 1.2a1, but hadn't actually been.
        
        Deprecations
        ------------
        
        - The ``pyramid.settings.get_settings`` API is now deprecated.  Use
        ``pyramid.threadlocals.get_current_registry().settings`` instead or use the
        ``settings`` attribute of the registry available from the request
        (``request.registry.settings``).
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        - Removed ``zodbsessions`` tutorial chapter.  It's still useful, but we now
        have a SessionFactory abstraction which competes with it, and maintaining
        documentation on both ways to do it is a distraction.
        
        Internal
        --------
        
        - Replace Twill with WebTest in internal integration tests (avoid deprecation
        warnings generated by Twill).
        
        1.0a3 (2010-11-16)
        ==================
        
        Features
        --------
        
        - Added Mako TemplateLookup settings for ``mako.error_handler``,
        ``mako.default_filters``, and ``mako.imports``.
        
        - Normalized all paster templates: each now uses the name ``main`` to
        represent the function that returns a WSGI application, each now uses
        WebError, each now has roughly the same shape of development.ini style.
        
        - Added class vars ``matchdict`` and ``matched_route`` to
        ``pyramid.request.Request``.  Each is set to ``None``.
        
        - New API method: ``pyramid.settings.asbool``.
        
        - New API methods for ``pyramid.request.Request``: ``model_url``,
        ``route_url``, and ``static_url``.  These are simple passthroughs for their
        respective functions in ``pyramid.url``.
        
        - The ``settings`` object which used to be available only when
        ``request.settings.get_settings`` was called is now available as
        ``registry.settings`` (e.g. ``request.registry.settings`` in view code).
        
        Bug Fixes
        ---------
        
        - The pylons_* paster templates erroneously used the ``{squiggly}`` routing
        syntax as the pattern supplied to ``add_route``.  This style of routing is
        not supported.  They were replaced with ``:colon`` style route patterns.
        
        - The pylons_* paster template used the same string
        (``your_app_secret_string``) for the ``session.secret`` setting in the
        generated ``development.ini``.  This was a security risk if left unchanged
        in a project that used one of the templates to produce production
        applications.  It now uses a randomly generated string.
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        - ZODB+traversal wiki (``wiki``) tutorial updated due to changes to
        ``pyramid_zodb`` paster template.
        
        - SQLAlchemy+urldispach wiki (``wiki2``) tutorial updated due to changes to
        ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` paster template.
        
        - Documented the ``matchdict`` and ``matched_route`` attributes of the
        request object in the Request API documentation.
        
        Deprecations
        ------------
        
        - Obtaining the ``settings`` object via
        ``registry.{get|query}Utility(ISettings)`` is now deprecated.  Instead,
        obtain the ``settings`` object via the ``registry.settings`` attribute.  A
        backwards compatibility shim was added to the registry object to register
        the settings object as an ISettings utility when ``setattr(registry,
        'settings', foo)`` is called, but it will be removed in a later release.
        
        - Obtaining the ``settings`` object via ``pyramid.settings.get_settings`` is
        now deprecated.  Obtain it as the ``settings`` attribute of the registry
        now (obtain the registry via ``pyramid.threadlocal.get_registry`` or as
        ``request.registry``).
        
        Behavior Differences
        --------------------
        
        - Internal: ZCML directives no longer call get_current_registry() if there's
        a ``registry`` attribute on the ZCML context (kill off use of
        threadlocals).
        
        - Internal: Chameleon template renderers now accept two arguments: ``path``
        and ``lookup``.  ``Lookup`` will be an instance of a lookup class which
        supplies (late-bound) arguments for debug, reload, and translate.  Any
        third-party renderers which use (the non-API) function
        ``pyramid.renderers.template_renderer_factory`` will need to adjust their
        implementations to obey the new callback argument list.  This change was to
        kill off inappropriate use of threadlocals.
        
        1.0a2 (2010-11-09)
        ==================
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        
        - All references to events by interface
        (e.g. ``pyramid.interfaces.INewRequest``) have been changed to reference
        their concrete classes (e.g. ``pyramid.events.NewRequest``) in
        documentation about making subscriptions.
        
        - All references to Pyramid-the-application were changed from mod-`pyramid`
        to app-`Pyramid`.  A custom role setting was added to ``docs/conf.py`` to
        allow for this.  (internal)
        
        1.0a1 (2010-11-05)
        ==================
        
        Features (delta from BFG 1.3)
        -------------------------------
        
        - Mako templating renderer supports resource specification format for
        template lookups and within Mako templates. Absolute filenames must
        be used in Pyramid to avoid this lookup process.
        
        - Add ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` module, which is a facade for the
        ``webob.exc`` module.
        
        - Direct built-in support for the Mako templating language.
        
        - A new configurator method exists: ``add_handler``.  This method adds
        a Pylons-style "view handler" (such a thing used to be called a
        "controller" in Pylons 1.0).
        
        - New argument to configurator: ``session_factory``.
        
        - New method on configurator: ``set_session_factory``
        
        - Using ``request.session`` now returns a (dictionary-like) session
        object if a session factory has been configured.
        
        - The request now has a new attribute: ``tmpl_context`` for benefit of
        Pylons users.
        
        - The decorator previously known as ``pyramid.view.bfg_view`` is now
        known most formally as ``pyramid.view.view_config`` in docs and
        paster templates.  An import of ``pyramid.view.bfg_view``, however,
        will continue to work "forever".
        
        - New API methods in ``pyramid.session``: ``signed_serialize`` and
        ``signed_deserialize``.
        
        - New interface: ``pyramid.interfaces.IRendererInfo``.  An object of this type
        is passed to renderer factory constructors (see "Backwards
        Incompatibilities").
        
        - New event type: ``pyramid.interfaces.IBeforeRender``.  An object of this type
        is sent as an event before a renderer is invoked (but after the
        application-level renderer globals factory added via
        ``pyramid.configurator.configuration.set_renderer_globals_factory``, if any,
        has injected its own keys).  Applications may now subscribe to the
        ``IBeforeRender`` event type in order to introspect the and modify the set of
        renderer globals before they are passed to a renderer.  The event object
        iself has a dictionary-like interface that can be used for this purpose.  For
        example::
        
        from repoze.events import subscriber
        from pyramid.interfaces import IRendererGlobalsEvent
        
        @subscriber(IRendererGlobalsEvent)
        def add_global(event):
        event['mykey'] = 'foo'
        
        If a subscriber attempts to add a key that already exist in the renderer
        globals dictionary, a ``KeyError`` is raised.  This limitation is due to the
        fact that subscribers cannot be ordered relative to each other.  The set of
        keys added to the renderer globals dictionary by all subscribers and
        app-level globals factories must be unique.
        
        - New class: ``pyramid.response.Response``.  This is a pure facade for
        ``webob.Response`` (old code need not change to use this facade, it's
        existence is mostly for vanity and documentation-generation purposes).
        
        - All preexisting paster templates (except ``zodb``) now use "imperative"
        configuration (``starter``, ``routesalchemy``, ``alchemy``).
        
        - A new paster template named ``pyramid_starter_zcml`` exists, which uses
        declarative configuration.
        
        Documentation (delta from BFG 1.3)
        -----------------------------------
        
        - Added a ``pyramid.httpexceptions`` API documentation chapter.
        
        - Added a ``pyramid.session`` API documentation chapter.
        
        - Added a ``Session Objects`` narrative documentation chapter.
        
        - Added an API chapter for the ``pyramid.personality`` module.
        
        - Added an API chapter for the ``pyramid.response`` module.
        
        - All documentation which previously referred to ``webob.Response`` now uses
        ``pyramid.response.Response`` instead.
        
        - The documentation has been overhauled to use imperative configuration,
        moving declarative configuration (ZCML) explanations to a separate
        narrative chapter ``declarative.rst``.
        
        - The ZODB Wiki tutorial was updated to take into account changes to the
        ``pyramid_zodb`` paster template.
        
        - The SQL Wiki tutorial was updated to take into account changes to the
        ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` paster template.
        
        Backwards Incompatibilities (with BFG 1.3)
        ------------------------------------------
        
        - There is no longer an ``IDebugLogger`` registered as a named utility
        with the name ``repoze.bfg.debug``.
        
        - The logger which used to have the name of ``repoze.bfg.debug`` now
        has the name ``pyramid.debug``.
        
        - The deprecated API ``pyramid.testing.registerViewPermission``
        has been removed.
        
        - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.testing.registerRoutesMapper``
        has been removed.
        
        - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.request.get_request`` was removed.
        
        - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.security.Unauthorized`` was
        removed.
        
        - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.view.view_execution_permitted``
        was removed.
        
        - The deprecated API named ``pyramid.view.NotFound`` was removed.
        
        - The ``bfgshell`` paster command is now named ``pshell``.
        
        - The Venusian "category" for all built-in Venusian decorators
        (e.g. ``subscriber`` and ``view_config``/``bfg_view``) is now
        ``pyramid`` instead of ``bfg``.
        
        - ``pyramid.renderers.rendered_response`` function removed; use
        ``render_pyramid.renderers.render_to_response`` instead.
        
        - Renderer factories now accept a *renderer info object* rather than an
        absolute resource specification or an absolute path.  The object has the
        following attributes: ``name`` (the ``renderer=`` value), ``package`` (the
        'current package' when the renderer configuration statement was found),
        ``type``: the renderer type, ``registry``: the current registry, and
        ``settings``: the deployment settings dictionary.
        
        Third-party ``repoze.bfg`` renderer implementations that must be ported to
        Pyramid will need to account for this.
        
        This change was made primarily to support more flexible Mako template
        rendering.
        
        - The presence of the key ``repoze.bfg.message`` in the WSGI environment when
        an exception occurs is now deprecated.  Instead, code which relies on this
        environ value should use the ``exception`` attribute of the request
        (e.g. ``request.exception[0]``) to retrieve the message.
        
        - The values ``bfg_localizer`` and ``bfg_locale_name`` kept on the request
        during internationalization for caching purposes were never APIs.  These
        however have changed to ``localizer`` and ``locale_name``, respectively.
        
        - The default ``cookie_name`` value of the ``authtktauthenticationpolicy`` ZCML
        now defaults to ``auth_tkt`` (it used to default to ``repoze.bfg.auth_tkt``).
        
        - The default ``cookie_name`` value of the
        ``pyramid.authentication.AuthTktAuthenticationPolicy`` constructor now
        defaults to ``auth_tkt`` (it used to default to ``repoze.bfg.auth_tkt``).
        
        - The ``request_type`` argument to the ``view`` ZCML directive, the
        ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator.add_view`` method, or the
        ``pyramid.view.view_config`` decorator (nee ``bfg_view``) is no longer
        permitted to be one of the strings ``GET``, ``HEAD``, ``PUT``, ``POST`` or
        ``DELETE``, and now must always be an interface.  Accepting the
        method-strings as ``request_type`` was a backwards compatibility strategy
        servicing repoze.bfg 1.0 applications.  Use the ``request_method``
        parameter instead to specify that a view a string request-method predicate.
