soil 0.1.4-dev (beta)

Really lightweight web prototyping.

Installing

$ pip install soil

Or, if you really wanted to:

$ git clone git://github.com/kuyan/soil.git
$ cd soil && python setup.py install

Or, if you really, really wanted to:

$ easy_install soil

But, to quote Kenneth Reitz:

... you really shouldn't do that.

Quick Start

First, create a new project and start editing:

$ shovel new new_project/
$ cd new_project/

Edit templates (see: Jinja2):

$ vim templates/index.html

Check out your project in your browser:

$ shovel run

You'll be able to see your site at http://127.0.0.1:5000.

Turn the templates into static HTML:

$ shovel build

The output will be stored in the build/ directory.
