How-To: Add VirtualEnv and TurboGears2 (WSGI frmwk) to XAMPP

[greno]

Start by following the How-To: Add Python and mod_wsgi to XAMPP:
http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=42975&start=0

You should now have Python and mod_wsgi installed and working in XAMPP.

To create a good Python working environment for XAMPP we need to set some environment variables:

Code: Select all

echo "
export PATH=/opt/lampp/sbin:/opt/lampp/bin:/opt/lampp:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:$HOME/bin
export PYTHONVERSION=$(/opt/lampp/bin/python -c "import sys;print '%d.%d' % sys.version_info[:2]")
export PYTHONPATH=$(/opt/lampp/bin/python -c "import sys;print ':'.join(sys.path)")
export PYTHONPREFIX=$(/opt/lampp/bin/python -c "import sys;print '%s' % sys.prefix")
export PYTHONHOME=$PYTHONPREFIX
" > ~/.bashrc_xampp
# plus I would recommend you add XAMPP into your $PS1 prompt somewhere

Now we source this file into your environment:

Code: Select all

source ~/.bashrc_xampp

To install VirtualEnv in XAMPP:

Code: Select all

 cd /tmp
 wget --content-disposition http://bitbucket.org/ianb/virtualenv/get/1.5.1.tar.gz
 tar xzf virtualenv-1.5.1.tar.gz
 cd virtualenv
 sudo python setup.py install
 cd $HOME
 virtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute ENV  # does not use packages from main XAMPP python
 source ENV/bin/activate
   # your command prompt will change to something like this:
  (ENV)[greno@zebra:2 XAMPP virtualenv]$
 Note: deactivate  # when you want to leave ENV

To install TurboGears2 (WSGI-framework), Genshi templates and SQLAlchemy:

Code: Select all

 pip install TurboGears2  Genshi  sqlalchemy

To install the TurboGears2 development tools:

Code: Select all

pip install -i http://www.turbogears.org/2.1/downloads/current/index/ tg.devtools

Now let's create our first TurboGears2 application:

Code: Select all

 mkdir projects
 cd projects/
 paster quickstart HelloWorld
 cd HelloWorld/
 python setup.py develop
 nosetests
 paster setup-app development.ini

And let's run the built-in webserver:

Code: Select all

 paster serve --reload development.ini
    Starting subprocess with file monitor
    Starting server in PID 29550.
    serving on http://localhost:8080

browser to: http://localhost:8080




Enjoy
