Repoze Blog

We've been working on getting a repoze wrapper for Zope3 apps, and Grok in particular, up and running.

I'm pleased to say that we have a distribution available for testing.

Installing from the Tarball

 $ wget http://dist.repoze.org/repoze.grok-0.1.1.tar.gz

 $ tar xzf repoze.grok-0.1.1.tar.gz

 $ cd repoze.grok-0.1.1

 $ ../../bin/python setup.py sandbox \

   --admin-login=admin --admin-password=123

 ...

 $ bin/paster serve etc/grok.ini

Installing via easy_install

 $ easy_install -f http://dist.repoze.org repoze.grok

 $ bin/init_configs --admin-login=admin --admin-password=123

 $ mkdir var  # directory for the ZODB.

 $ bin/paster serve etc/grok.ini

Browsing the Application

You can then connect to the Grod Admin UI. Of course, there won't be any applications you can add (yet), but you can browse the application control UI and the documentation.

Adding a Grokkified Application

You can download and install one of the sample grok apps, or even roll your own based on the tutorial examples.
