pyctures Description

pyctures is a small web gallery written in Python that uses the web.py framework. pyctures is a small web gallery written in Python that uses the web.py framework. It does not use any database and stores all the necessary data in the filesystem.pyctures is published under the BOLA (Public Domain), so you can run the software anywhere, and do whatever you want with it.Installation:The installation procedure depends on the HTTP server you're using. What follows is a list of procedures for some common HTTP servers. If you use pyctures with something else, please let me know so I can add it here.After you've completed the install, read the "Administration" file to learn how to manage your gallery.Common procedure1. Copy the "website" directory to a suitable place where you want to install pyctures. It does not have to be inside your website, but has to be readable by your webserver's user.2. Create a "config.py" file based on the "config.py.sample" file, and edit it according to your configuration. A really important setting is the album path, where all albums will be stored. It can be anywhere you want. Create an admin user so you can create albums using the web interface.3. Make sure the album path is writeable by the user who will run the pyctures application. It usually is your web server user.4. Install PIL from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/. The package name for most distributions is "python-imaging" or just "imaging".5. Install cheetah from http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/. The package name for most distributions is "python-cheetah" or just "cheetah". You need at least version 2.0-rc5.No server (stand-alone)pyctures can be run without any HTTP server by just executing"./pyctures " directly on the website directory. It's useful fortesting and small sites. I recommend that you test everything works this waybefore integrating it into a webserver.lighttpdFirst of all, install "flup", from http://www.saddi.com/software/flup/.Gentoo: It's not in portage, it sucks. Check http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100784Debian: apt-get install python-flupNow, let's suppose you've installed pyctures in the "/var/www/pyctures"directory, and want to publish it under the "/pics/" directory.You need to add the following to /etc/lighttpd/mod_fastcgi.conf (or just/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf if you don't have the other file):---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ----------fastcgi.server = ( "/pics" => (( "socket" => "/tmp/fastcgi-pics.socket", "max-procs" => 1, "bin-path" => "/var/www/pyctures/pyctures" )))---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ----------This is enough, but be aware that "http://mysite/pics" (note the missing"/" at the end) will *not* be redirected to pyctures.If you want to be able to refer to your pycture's root both as"http://mysite/pics/" and "http://mysite/pics", you need to add thefollowing in the same file as before:---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ----------url.redirect = ( "^/pics$" => "/pics/")---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ---------- 8< ----------And then create an empty file in your document root called "gallery",otherwise lighttpd will think the path does not exist and return 404 beforedoing the redirection.What's New in This Release:· This version implemented pagination, IE support, and automatic thumbnail regeneration on config changes.· It also improved performance considerably, reduced the memory footprint, added Apache installation instructions, and included several other minor improvements.
