PVIEWS3(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

pviews3 — the Python 3 Pyramid command, bestie 💅 (it lives in section 1 of the manual, so like, pviews3(1) if we're being official about it)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so first things first, here's the vibe, the whole usage line, exactly as it is:

usage: pviews3 [-h] [config_uri] [url] [config_vars ...]

What it actually does: you give it a URL and it prints out, for that URL, all the views that might match. And it's not gonna just dump a list on you and dip — underneath every potentially matching route, it lists the predicates required. Then underneath each route + predicate set, it prints every view that might match, plus its predicates. It's giving organized. It's giving thorough. It's giving "I did the homework for you" 🫶

The two positional arguments:

• config_uri — this one tells it which PasteDeploy config file to use for the interactive shell. The format is 'inifile#name'. If you leave the name off, 'main' gets assumed, no stress 💖
• url — this is the path info portion of a URL, and it's what gets used to find matching views.

Here's the example straight from the source, keep it in your notes:

proutes myapp.ini#main /url

🌈 positional arguments 🌈

• config_uri — the URI to the configuration file. that's the whole job bestie, it points at the config 🎀
• url — the path info portion of the URL. just the path part, okay? 👑
• config_vars — variables that the config file needs. for example, http_port=%(http_port)s would expect http_port=8080 to be passed in here. like, it's asking for a specific value and you gotta hand it over fr fr 💅

---

⭐ options ⭐

• -h, --help — shows this help message and exits. the classic. the icon. the "when in doubt, ask for help" move 🌸

ngl there are no extra flags hiding in here, no secret sauce, no deprecated stuff to warn you about — this page is short and it knows it, and honestly? main character energy 😭💜
