About

Blueprint is a CSS framework that speeds up the process of creating a grid layout in HTML. It also provides clean typography and a stylesheet for printing.

This is a plugin for the Pylons framework that automatically includes Blueprint CSS files into a project.

Install

You just need to download the Python egg and install it using easy_instal:

wget http://blueprint-pylons.googlecode.com/files/BluePrint-0.1-py2.5.egg
sudo easy_install BluePrint-0.1-py2.5.egg

If you're a Mac user, use Curl instead to download the egg:

curl -O http://blueprint-pylons.googlecode.com/files/BluePrint-0.1-py2.5.egg
sudo easy_install BluePrint-0.1-py2.5.egg

If you're afraid of the command line, there are also some installers for Windows and OS X.

Usage

Let's say that you have a Pylons project named foo. Under your project's root folder, there should be another folder named foo.egg-info. Open the paster_plugins.txt file that is inside it. You just need to the following line to that file:

BluePrint

And your project is already using the plugin.

To install the Blueprint CSS files onto your project's public folder, just run the following paster command:

paster blueprint

You are all set to go, happy templating!

Credits

I thank, of course, all the guys from the Blueprint project that made this amazing framework happen.

Projects updates will be posted on my blog.
