Question

I am creating a website using Python and the Bottle framework for the first time. It is in a directory set up with virtualenv.

I have the hello world website working perfectly, but before continuing development I would like to get auto_reloader working. I have tried adding the reloader=True to the run statement:

from bottle import run
import corecontrollers

run(host='localhost', port=8080, reloader=True)

However, this fails with the error:

C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\Python Projects\BottleSite\Scripts\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in ''

It looks like a path error. I assume something is going wrong with the virtualenv directory.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Answer 1

can’t find ‘main‘ module

Why not try the official hello world sample with reloader=True:

from bottle import route, run

@route('/')
@route('/hello/:name')
def index(name = 'World'):
    return '<b>Hello %s!</b>' % name

run(host='localhost', port=8080, reloader=True)
