Slovak Python civic association website

The mission of the SPy civic association is to support developers and users of the Python programming language. We support and we spread the programming language Python and other open source technologies and open source ideas in our society. Our goal is to provide help and support for beginners and people who are new to programming. Another goal is to work with schools and other educational institutions, and promote programming (independent of the programming language) in children and young people from the earliest age. We support the area of software development in socially vulnerable or otherwise disadvantaged social groups. We are dedicated to practical use of software development. We want to work on various open source projects, to create open educational content for use in schools as well as self-study and advocate for the use of open technologies in society and the public sector.

Project structure

2 branches:

• master - the Flask app, templates, static files, translations (make your changes here).
• l10n_master - the Crowdin translation branch (do not make any changes here).

Installation

• clone repository locally:

  git clone https://github.com/pyconsk/www.spyoz.eu.git
  cd www.spyoz.eu

• creates a virtual environment, activate it and installs all requirements:

  python3 -m venv envs3
  source envs3/bin/activate
  pip install -r requirements.txt --no-binary :all:

• start flask server, and you can view it in browser (http://127.0.0.1:5000/en/index.html):

  python views.py

Translations

For website translations we use Crowdin translation service. Create a free account and you can translate directly in the browser.

Other option is to translate directly in the translation source files. Translations are made with Flask-Babel. All translations are located in translations directory, update messages.po with your translations messages.

• collect translation strings from Flask app:

  pybabel extract -F translations/babel.cfg -o translations/messages.pot .

• update translation messages.po files with collected translation strings:

  pybabel update -i translations/messages.pot -d translations

• compile translated messages and generate messages.po files:

  pybabel compile -d translations

Generate static site

Frozen-Flask freezes a Flask application into a set of static files. The result can be hosted without any server-side software other than a traditional web server.

• generate static files, and you can find them in build directory:

  python freezer.py

• verify the generated result in browser (http://127.0.0.1:8000/en/index.html):

  cd build
  python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
