In this introduction, I’ll describe the audience for this book, I’ll describe the book content, I’ll provide some context regarding the genesis of Pyramid, and I’ll thank some important people. I hope you enjoy both this book and the software it documents. I’ve had a blast writing both. Audience This book is aimed primarily at a reader that has the following attributes: • At least a moderate amount of Python experience. • A familiarity with web protocols such as HTTP and CGI. If you fit into both of these categories, you’re in the direct target audience for this book. But don’t worry, even if you have no experience with Python or the web, both are easy to pick up “on the fly”. Python is an excellent language in which to write applications; becoming productive in Python is almost mind-blowingly easy. If you already have experience in another language such as Java, Visual Basic, Perl, Ruby, or even C/C++, learning Python will be a snap; it should take you no longer than a couple of days to become modestly productive. If you don’t have previous programming experience, it will be slightly harder, and it will take a little longer, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a better “first language.” Web technology familiarity is assumed in various places within the book. For example, the book doesn’t try to define common web-related concepts like “URL” or “query string.” Likewise, the book describes various interactions in terms of the HTTP protocol, but it does not describe how the HTTP protocol works in detail. Like any good web framework, though, Pyramid shields you from needing to know most of the gory details of web protocols and low-level data structures. As a result, you can usually avoid becoming “blocked” while you read this book even if you don’t yet deeply understand web technologies. vii Book Content This book is divided into three major parts: Narrative Documentation This is documentation which describes Pyramid concepts in narrative form, written in a largely conversational tone. Each narrative documentation chapter describes an isolated Pyra- mid concept. You should be able to get useful information out of the narrative chapters if you read them out-of-order, or when you need only a reminder about a particular topic while you’re developing an application. Tutorials Each tutorial builds a sample application or implements a set of concepts with a sample; it then describes the application or concepts in terms of the sample. You should read the tutorials if you want a guided tour of Pyramid. API Reference Comprehensive reference material for every public API exposed by Pyramid. The API doc- umentation is organized alphabetically by module name. The Genesis of repoze.bfg Before the end of 2010, Pyramid was known as repoze.bfg. I wrote repoze.bfg after many years of writing applications using Zope.

A TPS is a highly advanced software package used in radiation Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 oncology clinics, and the complexity of the software makes writing robust code Hus 4, Plan 0 challenging. Although the product is tested rigorously during development, bugs are present in released software. The purpose of the the framework is to allow the Postadress: RayStation development team insight into errors encountered in clinics by Box 536 751 21 Uppsala centralizing log file data recorded at clinics around the world. Telefon: A framework based on the Elastic stack, a suite of open-source products, is 018 – 471 30 03 proposed, addressing a set of known issues described as the access problem, the Telefax: processing problem, and the analysis problem. Firstly, log files are stored locally on 018 – 471 30 00 each machine running RayStation, some of which may not be connected to the Internet. Gaining access to the data is further complicated by legal frameworks Hemsida: such as HIPAA and GDPR that put constraints on how clinic data can be handled. http://www.teknat.uu.se/student The framework allows for access to the files while respecting these constraints.
