Models outside TG2

[James]

Hello all,
What's the easiest way to recreate the environment created by "paster
shell"?

I need to run a few non-trivial scripts which use the TG configuration
and model; having to do "paster shell <myscript.py" would be really
awkward as I want to pass in command line arguments to my script.

It seems the pieces I need are the locating and reading-in of a
configuration file and the creation of a SQLAlchemy engine I can pass
to model.init_model.

Any suggestions?
James

And you are feeling lucky :)

HTH,

Ah, sorry - should have mentioned that I found that page.

It does, indeed, seem to be exactly what I need. Unfortunately,
http://turbogears.org/2.0/docs/_static/wiki20/_download/tg_shell_setup.py,
which purports to hold the magic, is an empty file...

Does tg_shell_setup.py exist anywhere else?

Thanks!
James

The tgcommand.py module should show up in TG 2.1, its waiting on my
getting documentation written up in RST format.

HTH,
Mike

If I understand your question, James, you might want something like
I've been using:

If you find it useful, let me know, and I'll stick the reference up
in a more permanent location.

Great! Thanks Anthony, this is just what I was looking for.

I added one more thing to get the logging set up as specified in the
configuration file:
from paste.script import command
cmd = command.Command('dummy')
cmd.logging_file_config(my_ini_file)

Pretty hacky, but it works... Any improvements gladly accepted.
