ValueError: No such renderer factory .mak - Python Pyramid error

I upgraded to Python 1.4.5 and when I try to run my project here is the error:

ValueError: No such renderer factory .mak
[Applications/MAMP/htdocs/WhoAt/env/www/www/views/index/index.py line:32]
get()
     ->return self.render(mak)

[Applications/MAMP/htdocs/WhoAt/env/www/www/views/__init__.py line:231]
render()
     ->response = render_to_response(template, context, request=self.request)

[Applications/MAMP/htdocs/WhoAt/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyramid/renderers.py line:138]
render_to_response()
     ->return helper.render_to_response(value, None, request=request)

ValueError: No such renderer factory .mak

I looked this up yesterday and learned that mako templates aren't supported by default anymore. And they have to be added back in: What's New In Pyramid 1.5

I followed the steps on that docs page, but am still getting the error :(

In the init.py

config.include('pyramid_mako') # < added that
config.add_static_view('static', 'static', cache_max_age=3600)
config.scan()
return config.make_wsgi_app()

And in the setup.py added 'pyramid_mako' and chameleon

requires = [
    'pyramid',
    'pyramid_mako',
    'pyramid_chameleon',
    'pyramid_debugtoolbar',
    'waitress',
]

Also ran the setup.py in terminal :(

Has anyone else run into problems fixing mako templates in PyCharm?

Solution

  • Had to recreate my VirtualEnv and start fresh. Was able to fix the missing mak problem
