Overview
The objective for the Python Web Developer Appliance is to
facilitate developing and learning how to develop web applications
using Python.
The Python Web Developer Appliance includes the leading python web
development frameworks and supporting libraries pre-installed and
ready use, alongside a complete open-source software stack for building
and deploying web applications. The appliance represents an attempt
to take the "batteries included" philosophy
(http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0206/) to another level
with respect to web application development and deployment.
The Python Web Developer Appliance is packaged as a VMware
virtual machine. A ready-to-run virtual machine saves the
time and the headache of selecting, assembling, building, and
installing a coherent set of leading edge python oriented web
application development and deployment tools.
The bundled software stack includes the Apache web server, and
PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite database management sytems. The
underlying operating system is OpenBSD .
The bundled software components are described in detail in the
Appliance Software Components section. Please review this section
of the document carefully. Over one hundred tools, libraries,
and frameworks are included.
The included non-Python software components are installed and may be
managed using the cross-platform pkgsrc http://www.pkgsrc.org package
management system from the NetBSD http://www.netbsd.org project.
The included Python software components are installed either using
either standard Python disutils binary distributions or as Python
Eggs ( http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs ) if the
upstream developer specifically included support for Eggs in their package.
Please refer to

for more information.

Appliance Software Component Overview
The included software components fall into the following categories.
* Base Operating System and Development Environment
