Pyramid not auto reloading

Question

My pyramid app is not reloading when I update and save my *.mak in templates or *.py in views. I am using the following command to serve the site and have to manually kill the process and restart before the changes appear

pserve --reload development.ini

I have the following in my development.ini as well

pyramid.reload_templates = true

I created the app with the alchemy scaffolding

virtualenv --no-site-packages app
cd app
source bin/activate
which python
pcreate -s alchemy app
python setup.py develop

note: which python showed that it's pointing to the virtualenv's copy

I hardly make any major changes to any settings...

I am not sure what information I can provide that might be helpful but please leave a comment to let me know what else I can provide. Thanks

Answer 1

There is an open bug in pyramid_mako, which causes that Pyramid doesn't reload templates. Downgrade your pyramid_mako to 0.3.1 version, i.e. point exact version in setup.py:

requires = [
    'pyramid',
    'pyramid_mako==0.3.1',
    'pyramid_debugtoolbar',
    'pyramid_tm',
    'SQLAlchemy',
    'transaction',
    'zope.sqlalchemy',
    'waitress',
    ]

As for changes in *.py, there is a solution in comments of your question.
