RocPy.org Website

RocPy(.org)'s website, to be collaboratively edited by members of RocPy's group.

The website is written in Flask.

Getting Started

It is suggested that you use a Virtualenv, especially with virtualenvwrapper when developing a website using this boilerplate. This will allow you to isolate your organization's development environment from the rest of your system, ensuring that you are developing with the proper software.

To do development work on a new website, run the following commands from the root directory of a cloned copy of this repository to get started:

First, install all required modules:

• pip install -r requirements.txt

Then,

• fab server
  • Will run a local dev server on http://localhost:8080
• fab help
  • Print a list of commands available in the fabfile.

Lastly, start editing the site, located in the flask_application directory.

You will then be able to access the website at http://localhost:8080. Changes in the code will automatically reload the web server when necessary.

In production, the server uses WSGI, so please don't rename or move __init__.py in the root of the repository.
