Two tools exist to assist in the management of Camelot projects: camelot_admin.py and camelot_manage.py.
camelot_admin is a tool to assist in the creation and development of Camelot projects. Use this application without any options to start a GUI to create a new Camelot project.
Starts a new project, use startproject project_name.
Outputs a message file with all field names of all entities. This command requires settings.py of the project to be in the PYTHONPATH
Extract API documentation from source code, to be used with sphinx.
Change the license header of a project, use license_update project_directory license_file
Takes a folder with PyQt4 source code and translates it to PySide source code. A directory to_pyside will be created containing the output of the translation
camelot_manage is oriented towards administrators of an installed camelot application. It is used for interacting the database, the model and migration of the database to a certain schema revision.
To use this application, PYTHONPATH should contain a valid settings.py file that will be used to resolve the database engine and the model.
Launches a python console with the model all setup for command line interaction.
Within the example movie project one could do the following to print a list of all movie titles to the screen:
from model import Movie
for movie in Movie.query.all():
print movie.title
Get the version of the database schema from the current database
Get the latest available database schema version
Upgrade or downgrade the database to the specified version, use upgrade version_number.
Put the database under version control
Generate a graph of the database schema. The result is stored in schema.png. This option requires pydot to be installed.
