PROUTES3(1)

💅 PROUTES3 — bestie edition

okay so this is the manual page for proutes3, which lives in section 1 (User Commands) of the manual. It's a Python 3 Pyramid command. Yes it's a real thing, yes it's actually useful, let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

proutes3 — the Python 3 Pyramid command 🏛️

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe. the usage line is literally this:

usage: proutes3 [-h] [-g GLOB] [-f FORMAT] [config_uri] [config_vars ...]

What it does? It prints all the URL dispatch routes used by a Pyramid application, in the exact order they get evaluated. not a random order, not alphabetical, the order in which they are evaluated — which is the whole point, because order is destiny in routing, bestie 💀

Each route it shows you includes:

• the name of the route
• the pattern of the route
• the view callable that will be invoked when that route gets matched

This command takes one positional argument named config_uri. It specifies the PasteDeploy config file to use for the interactive shell. The format is inifile#name. If you leave the name off, main is assumed. Example:

proutes myapp.ini

periodt. that's the whole thing ✨

🎀 positional arguments

• config_uri — the URI to the configuration file. that's it, that's the girl 💖
• config_vars — variables required by the config file. for example, http_port=%(http_port)s would expect http_port=8080 to be passed here. so you're basically feeding it the lil values it's craving 🙈

🫶 options

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the icon 👑
• -g GLOB, --glob GLOB — display routes matching a glob pattern. filter that route list down to just the ones you care about, slay ✨
• -f FORMAT, --format FORMAT — choose which columns to display. heads up though, this will override the format key in the [proutes] ini section. so the command line wins, no cap 💅

ngl, if you ever can't figure out why some route is or isn't matching, run this first. the order in which they are evaluated is right there in front of you, bestie 🔥
