Old Build System

The website build system has been rewritten. The old build system was called Pyramid. This info is being maintained a short time until the website completely abandons Pyramid:

• Install Pyramid as described in PythonWebsitePyramidDocs

• See build/README in the checked out beta.python.org tree.

• PythonWebsitePyramidUsersGuide

Discussion

See PythonWebsiteHomePage for discussion on what should be on the home page (some of which has been completed, but not all).

• ["PythonWebsite/Conventions"]
