Introduction

Not too much to say. You need an easy way to publish smallish Python software projects or snippets of code? Brockman might be your app.

You will need CherryPy and Myghty to put it to use. The current pre-release doesn't have any more documentation than what you are reading here. Some tips if you do download it:

• Run the tools/initDB.py script to create the initial database
• Remove the contents of the default lib/cppassword and add in your own info
• Change the private key in the DigestAuthFilter call in brockman.py
• Change the global site title settings in brockman.py

brockman should also serve as a nice demo application for those interested in CherryPy and/or Myghty. There isn't that much code so it should be fairly easy to digest.
