Panya is a set of Django applications that aims to make your life even easier than it already is. It means “blink” in seSotho. Panya makes rich portal development a breeze.
Panya provides a Paste template which you can use to create a self contained Django instance with relevant project and Panya app settings preconfigured.
In order to use the Paste template you need to install Paste and the Panya specifc templates:
$ sudo easy_install paste
$ sudo easy_install panya-paste
Once the Paste templates have been installed, create your project by running:
$ paster create -t panya_project
Provide a project name and follow the prompts.
The Paste process will create a Buildout environment for you. Buildout provides tools for assembling applications from multiple parts, Python or otherwise. In Panya’s case Buildout is used to create a self contained Django environment with all the relevant Panya apps installed and configured, as well as initialising a Django project.
To initialise the Buildout environment:
$ cd <project_name>
$ python bootstrap.py
$ ./bin/buildout
After the Buildout process completes you can start your Django instance by running:
$ ./bin/<project_name> runserver
The bin/<project_name> script acts as Django’s normal manage.py script.
Panya is made up of a collection of standalone Django applications. The panya app(see below) provides additional CMS and view related functionality required by some apps, hence the panya-___ designations.
