I guess we should spec out what we're using in PasteDeploy and
PasteScript. Then we can either write a minimal tool(s) for Pyramid
that does that, or look for something that does that. If it's a
Pyramid tool, we can use Mako or Chameleon, which are already
dependencies. If it's a generic tool, we can probably use Tempita
because it's tiny.
I agree that for this purpose we don't want to change the INI syntax;
that would be a separate project. Although we could replace %(here)s
with {here} as minor improvement. One of the nastiest parts of
PasteDeploy was reading the INI file on demand the way Pylons does it;
that requires doing ugly imports and replicating what Paste does
because the functions were ill-named and didn't encapsulate the level
you needed. There's a Pyramid function now that loads an application
for you, but the part about reading a generic section and recognizing
Paste'isms like %(here)s isn't done, so that would be one of the
goals.
We need a standalone HTTP server of some sort to run out of the box.
If not paste.httpserver, what then?
