Question

This is a weird question but its been driving me bonkers for the last 3 hours. I wanted to play around with a pyramid based cms Kotti and I made a mistake by installing it using easy_install first(sudo easy_install kotti). I’m getting weird behavior and I’m not sure if its the way the program itself or the way I installed it.

I want to change some parts of the code and see how it works but my changes are not taking effect. After I installed it via easy_install I did:

virtualenv mysite --no-site-packages
bin/easy_install pyramid
git clone https://github.com/Pylons/Kotti.git
cd Kotti
sudo ../bin/python setup.py develop
../bin/pserve app.ini --reload

I went to 127.0.0.0:5000 and saw it was working. The first page has text that says “Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kotti.” so I went into the kotti directory and did a grep "Congratulations" *.* and found it was coming from populate.py. So I opened the file and changed the line to a different piece of text and saved. Because I have the –reload flag on pserve I noticed it reloaded my code on the terminal and when I went back to the site the data did not change.

I’m so confused because the server reloads when I change the python code, so it sees the change but its not reflected in the browser(just to test if its the browser cache I tried it using different browsers and cleared the cache).

Any ideas?

Running python -v will show all the imports
