Getting Started

This guide assumes that you have some familiarity with py4web, pydal, and yatl. It is not meant as an all-encompassing guide to using py4web, it is focused on the details of implementing grids into your applications.

The py4web manual shows how to install:

Installing from pip

or

Installing using a virtual environment

Creating the Grid Tutorial Application

We will be creating a sample application that is based off the _scaffold app included in py4web.

• Locate the apps directory that you created in the install process (py4web setup apps)
• Inside the apps directory copy the _scaffold directory and all its contents to a new directory call grid_tutorial
• start up py4web with the py4web run apps command
• Point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8000/grid_tutorial and you should see a very plain looking Hello page (we'll add style to this later)
