How do I start the pylons web application programmatically?

Normally, we start a pylons web application via command line:

pastser serve --reload development.ini

I wanna know can we start it programmaticly? In a python script file?

I want this because I ca开发者_开发技巧n start it in IDE, and use the debugger

#!/usr/bin/env python

from paste.script.serve import ServeCommand
ServeCommand("serve").run(["--reload", "development.ini"])

...some IDEs (e.g. pydev) won't support breakpoints in debug mode if you have --reload enabled. Simply remove it from the list you pass to .run() to disable the reload functionality and enable IDE breakpoints.

That sounds like a job for a shell script - you could launch it from a Python script, but a shell script is likely to be cheaper in terms of mental effort.
