papyrus_tilecache provides an easy and convenient method for embeding TileCache in Pyramid applications.
The source code of papyrus_tilecache is straightforward, so if papyrus_tilecache doesn't do what you want, open its source code, get inspiration, and write your own code.
papyrus_tilecache can be installed with easy_install
:
$ easy_install papyrus_tilecache
Often you'll want to make papyrus_tilecache a dependency of your Pyramid application, which is done by adding papyrus_tilecache
to the install_requires
list defined in the Pyramid application's setup.py
file.
Embeding TileCache in a Pyramid application is easy.
Edit the application's development.ini
file and, in the main section ([app:]
), set tilecache.cfg
to the location of the TileCache config file. Example:
[app:MyApp]
use = egg:MyApp
...
tilecache.cfg = %(here)s/tilecache.cfg
In this example the TileCache config file is located at the same location as the development.ini
file.
You can use the following TileCache config as an example:
[cache]
type=Disk
base=/tmp/tilecache
[basic]
type=WMS
url=http://vmap0.tiles.osgeo.org/wms/vmap0
extension=png
Now, edit the application's main file, __init__.py
, and register papyrus_tilecache using the Configurator.include
method:
def main(global_config, **settings):
config = Configurator(settings=settings)
import papyrus_tilecache
config.include(papyrus_tilecache)
That's it! The Pyramid application now exposes a TileCache service at /tilecache
.
